Braces for Teens

At Zen House Dental, we understand that the teenage years are a crucial time for developing a confident smile. Our braces for teens are designed to address common orthodontic issues, helping your teen achieve straight, healthy teeth that will last a lifetime. Teenagers are still growing, which makes this the perfect time to correct misalignments and ensure that their adult teeth are properly aligned. A beautiful smile can boost self-esteem, making those important years of adolescence much easier and more enjoyable.

What are Braces for Teens?

Braces for teens are orthodontic devices specifically designed to correct misaligned teeth and jaws during the teenage years. This is an ideal time for treatment, as teens are still in a phase of growth, allowing orthodontists to guide teeth into their optimal positions more easily.

At Zen House Dental, we offer a variety of braces tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of teenagers, ensuring that their treatment is both effective and comfortable.

Types of Braces for Teens

Traditional Metal Braces

These braces are a reliable choice for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues. Durable and effective, metal braces are a popular option.

Ceramic Braces

For teens who prefer a more subtle look, ceramic braces are made from clear or tooth-coloured materials that blend with the natural colour of teeth.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are a modern and popular choice for teens who want to straighten their teeth without the visibility of traditional braces.

Benefits of Braces for Teens

Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, which helps reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really don’t enjoy seeing a hygienist… I’ve had one or two bad experiences in the past but honestly Leah was superb… the best I’ve seen. Really took time to put me at ease, was caring, thoughtful and a fantastic bed side manner. Really happy with the service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super professional establishment with friendly staff who make you feel welcome each time. I was having issues with my front teeth moving and crumbling and so went to Zen House Dental to see what can be done.
I was not by any means expecting perfection, just something better than what I had, but perfection is exactly what I got.
I had some veneers and implants done. Now I cannot stop smiling.
Specifically, I cannot thank Dr.Eassun and his assistant Lauren enough for not only giving me a perfect smile but also oodles of confidence and also putting up with an occasional tantrum of mine. He stuck with me and made sure I was looked after and happy with the end result.
I am not just happy but over the moon and highly recommend this dental practice, but specifically, Dr.Eassun.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Dr Shivali highly enough. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly patient and always happy to go at my pace, which made such a difference to my confidence and comfort. She took the time to clearly explain all of my options, was very informative throughout, and never once pushed any treatment that she didn’t genuinely feel would benefit my teeth repair and improvement journey.

My treatment started with a root canal, and from there all the way through to the end of my Invisalign treatment, Dr Shivali has been amazing. She’s not only highly skilled, but also so friendly and reassuring — she really puts you at ease and makes every appointment feel far less daunting.

If I ever need any more dental work in the future (hopefully not!), I wouldn’t hesitate to return to Dr Shivali at Zen. She will always be my first choice.

I also have to mention how welcoming the front reception team are — they’re always a pleasure to see and chat with, and they truly add to the positive experience every time I visit.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve struggled to find a decent dentist near me for some time and I’m so pleased I have found Zen House. I had a hygienist appointment today by way of my own introduction to them and I couldn’t have been happier. The ‘house’ is beautiful, the receptionist warm and friendly and both the hygienist and nurse were so comforting, capable and made me feel at ease. They took the time to explain everything that was going on and how best to help me on my healthy teeth journey with great advice and tips. I feel very lucky to have found them and I look forward to my next appointment (who says that about a dentist?!)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with my composite bonding with Dr Ashkay. Great attention to detail ensuring my teeth look very natural. I had an old cap on my front tooth that was loose leaving only a small amount of tooth and he managed to match this with my other teeth using composite. Great result thank you!
