Braces vs Invisalign for Teens in Broward County
Your teen's smile matters, and you're probably wondering which path to take.
Should they get traditional braces or clear Invisalign aligners?
It's one of the biggest questions parents in Broward County ask us, and honestly, there's no one-size-fits-all answer.
The choice depends on what your teen needs, their lifestyle, and how serious they'll be about wearing the treatment.
I've seen families struggle with this decision because they don't have clear information about what actually works best for their specific situation.
That's what this guide is for.
We're going to break down everything you need to know about braces vs Invisalign for teens so you can make a real decision, not a guess.
What's the Real Difference Between Braces and Invisalign?
Let's start with the basics because this matters.
Braces are the metal or ceramic brackets that get bonded to each tooth and connected by a wire.
They've been around for decades because they work.
The wire creates constant, gentle pressure that moves teeth into the right position.
Your teen can't take them off, which means they can't skip treatment or get lazy about wearing them.
Invisalign is the newer approach using clear, custom-made plastic trays called aligners.
Your teen wears a new set every week or two, and each one moves teeth a little bit more.
The big difference?
Invisalign is removable, which is great for eating pizza at the beach or playing the trumpet in band.
But it also requires discipline because your teen actually has to wear them.
At SMILE-FX Orthodontics & Clear Aligner Studio in Miramar, we work with both options depending on what your teen's mouth actually needs.
Our board-certified specialist Dr. Tracy M. Liang doesn't push one treatment over another just because it makes more money.
We look at the actual case and recommend what works.
When Braces Are the Better Choice for Your Teen
Braces aren't going anywhere, and there's a reason why.
They're the stronger option when you need serious correction.
If your teen has severe crowding, a significant bite problem, or multiple teeth that need major movement, braces are going to get better results faster.
Think about teens at schools like Marjory Stoneman Douglas High or Western High who are dealing with complex orthodontic issues.
Braces can handle those cases without breaking a sweat.
Here's what makes braces reliable:
They're fixed in place, so there's zero compliance issue.
Your teen can't forget to wear them or lose them.
The pressure is constant, which means teeth move predictably.
They work on almost any case, from mild to severe.
Your teen gets monthly adjustments to keep progress moving forward.
If your kid plays contact sports, modern braces are actually pretty safe, and we can protect them with a mouthguard.
Treatment typically takes 18 to 24 months depending on complexity.
The downside is obvious though.
Braces are visible, they require careful cleaning around the brackets, and some foods need to be avoided.
But for the right case, that tradeoff is worth it.
When Invisalign Makes Sense for Broward Teens
Clear aligners are the move if your teen has mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues and actually cares about how they look while getting treatment.
South Florida has a beach culture, so I get why invisible treatment is appealing.
Your teen can eat whatever they want because aligners come out for meals.
They can brush and floss normally, which is huge for oral health.
Nobody at school is going to know they're in treatment if they don't want to tell them.
And many of our Invisalign patients complete treatment in just 4 to 6 months with our advanced technology.
That's fast.
But here's the thing that stops a lot of families.
Invisalign requires your teen to wear the aligners 20 to 22 hours per day.
That means they can only be out for meals and maybe brushing.
If your teen is the type to forget things or take shortcuts, this might not work.
We've had families come back saying their kid wasn't wearing them enough, and the treatment didn't progress.
That's on the teen, not the treatment, but it's real.
Also, Invisalign works best for cases that don't need huge tooth movements.
If your teen needs serious bite correction or has severely rotated teeth, braces might be the answer.
Breaking Down the Numbers and Timeline
Let's talk time because that matters to busy families.
Braces typically take 18 to 24 months.
Your teen gets a monthly appointment where we tighten the wire and adjust brackets.
That's 18 to 24 visits over two years.
Invisalign can be 4 to 12 months depending on the case.
Some of our patients are done in less than six months.
Visits happen every 8 to 12 weeks, and we can do virtual check-ins in between, which cuts office time by up to 40 percent.
That's less time off school.
Less time sitting in a waiting room.
Less disruption to sports or activities.
When families ask which is faster, Invisalign usually wins on the timeline, but braces give you bigger, more reliable tooth movement if you need it.
Cost and Insurance in Broward County
Money matters, so let's be straight.
Both braces and Invisalign typically range from $3,500 to $7,500 in Broward County.
The exact price depends on how much work your teen needs.
Most insurance plans cover both options, usually up to 50 percent of the cost.
Some plans have yearly maximums, so your coverage might span two years of treatment.
At SMILE-FX, we handle the insurance side so you're not stuck doing paperwork.
We also offer flexible payment plans so you're not paying everything upfront.
Check our patient resources page for specific details on financing options.
The investment in your teen's smile is worth it because a straight smile affects confidence, oral health, and even how they eat and speak.
That's not small stuff.
Compliance is the Silent Killer in Orthodontic Treatment
Here's what nobody talks about enough.
The best treatment in the world fails if your teen doesn't actually do it.
Braces remove this problem because they're not optional.
Your teen wears them every day, no decision to make.
With Invisalign, your teen has to remember to wear the trays, put them back in their case, clean them, and repeat for months.
That's a lot of responsibility.
If your teen is organized and motivated, they'll crush Invisalign.
If they're the type to lose their phone, lose their backpack, and forget about homework, braces might be the safer bet.
I'm not being judgmental here.
I'm being realistic based on what actually works.
During your first visit, our team can help you assess whether your teen has the maturity for removable aligners or if fixed braces are the smarter move.
Why Families from Across Broward Choose SMILE-FX
Families from Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Weston, Cooper City, Davie, and Fort Lauderdale don't come to our Miramar office because we're nearby.
They come because of how we actually treat teeth.
Our approach is different from high-volume Invisalign mills or general dentists offering braces on the side.
We use AI-powered planning to map out exactly how your teen's teeth will move before treatment even starts.
We have cutting-edge technology that reduces treatment time and improves accuracy.
We offer flexible scheduling with evening and weekend appointments because we get that teens are busy.
School, sports, activities, friends.
Coming to the orthodontist shouldn't derail their whole week.
When treatment finishes, we give complimentary whitening (worth $500) and retainers because we actually care about the final result lasting.
Our patient reviews speak to this because families see the difference between a doctor who knows what they're doing and someone just pushing teeth around.
The First Week Experience
Your teen's first week with either braces or Invisalign will involve some soreness.
That's normal and temporary.
With braces, the brackets might create minor sores inside the mouth for a couple days.
With Invisalign, teeth feel a little tender as they start moving.
Both situations get better in three to five days.
We give your teen guidance on managing discomfort, and you can reach us if anything feels wrong.
Orthodontic emergencies are rare, but when they happen, we handle them fast.
Most families are surprised how quickly their teen adapts and stops thinking about the treatment.
It just becomes part of their routine.
What Happens After Treatment Ends
This is the part dentists don't always explain well.
When braces come off or when your teen finishes their Invisalign trays, the teeth want to shift back to where they started.
It's biology.
That's why retainers exist.
Your teen will wear a retainer at night for the rest of their life.
If they skip this step, the teeth move again and all that time and money was wasted.
We cover retainers as part of your treatment, and we explain this upfront so there are no surprises.
The investment in a straight smile is about protecting the result.
Making Your Decision
Here's what I want you to do.
Bring your teen in for a free consultation where we take 3D scans and build a custom treatment plan.
That scan shows exactly what needs to happen and gives us real data to work with.
During that visit, we can answer your specific questions, assess your teen's case, and recommend whether braces or Invisalign makes more sense.
No pressure, no sales pitch, just facts.
Your teen will see what the result could look like before committing to anything.
That's how real confidence in the decision gets built.

We serve Miramar, Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, Weston, Cooper City, Davie, Fort Lauderdale, and all of greater Broward County.
Your teen's smile transformation starts with one conversation.
Orthodontic Treatment for Adults and Kids: What You Really Need to Know About Getting Your Smile Right
Let's be real for a second.
You think orthodontic treatment is just for teenagers.
It's not.
Adults in Broward County are getting braces and clear aligners all the time, and kids younger than teens need them too.
The thing nobody tells you is that the age you start treatment changes everything about how it works and what results you can actually get.
A seven-year-old dealing with crowding needs a completely different plan than a 35-year-old professional worried about looking good during client meetings.
And a 14-year-old is somewhere in the middle with their own set of challenges.
The real question isn't just braces versus Invisalign.
The real question is what does your specific age and situation actually need.
Why Age Matters More Than You Think
Your age determines what's actually possible with your teeth.
Kids have growing jaws, which means we can guide bone growth and fix problems before they get bigger.
That's massive.
A kid with an overbite caught early can be corrected while their jaw is still developing.
An adult with the same overbite might need surgery.
That's the difference between a simple fix and a complicated one.
Adults have fully formed bone, so their teeth move differently and sometimes slower.
But here's the good news: adults can still get amazing results.
They just need realistic expectations about timeline.
Teenagers are in this weird middle ground where their jaws are mostly done growing but not completely.
That's why teen treatment plans are so specific.
Early Intervention for Kids: Why Starting Young Changes Everything
If your kid is between 7 and 10 years old, you might hear the term Phase 1 orthodontic treatment.
This is early intervention, and it's not about getting all their teeth straight right now.
It's about creating space and guiding jaw growth so that when their adult teeth come in, there's room for them.
Think of it like setting up the foundation for a building.
You do the hard work early so that the rest goes smooth.
Kids at this age are way easier to work with than you'd think.
Their teeth move faster because their bones are still soft and responsive.
A correction that might take two years in an adult can happen in 12 months with a kid.
Plus, kids adapt to their treatment super quick.
They stop noticing their braces or aligners after a week.
For parents, early treatment means less stress about extraction and less complicated procedures down the road.
Visit our treatable cases page to see what we can handle at different ages.
Teens and Growth: The Sweet Spot for Major Results
Teenagers are actually in the ideal window for orthodontic treatment if major correction is needed.
Their jaws are close to finished growing, but not completely.
That means we can work with their growth instead of against it.
A teen with a significant overbite or underbite can be corrected because we're timing treatment with their development.
It's harder to do that with adults.
Teens also care about how they look, which matters for compliance with treatment.
If your teen cares about esthetics, they'll be motivated to wear their aligners or take care of their braces.
That motivation is worth gold in orthodontics.
The downside is that some teens need more extensive treatment because their growth patterns are still being established.
But the payoff is typically a much better bite and more natural facial balance when everything is done.
Adult Orthodontics: It's Never Too Late, But Be Smart About It
Here's what you need to know about getting orthodontic treatment as an adult.
Your teeth will move, and they'll move the same way they move in teenagers.
The difference is your jaw is finished growing, so we can't use growth to our advantage.
Some cases that would be simple in a teenager require a different approach in an adult.
But most bite problems can still be fixed.
Adults often choose clear aligners over braces because they're less visible and fit better with professional life.
If you work in client-facing roles, nobody needs to know you're straightening your teeth.
The timeline for adults is usually longer than teenagers because bone is denser.
What takes 18 months in a teen might take 24 to 30 months in an adult.
But that's still pretty fast when you think about living with crooked teeth for the rest of your life.
Many adults we treat say they wished they'd done it sooner.
Our clear aligners page breaks down how treatment works for adults specifically.
Health Issues That Show Up at Different Ages
Certain orthodontic problems are more common at specific ages.
Kids under 10 often have crowding because their permanent teeth are bigger than their baby teeth.
That's why early intervention catches it.
Teenagers often develop bite problems as their jaws grow unevenly.
Some grow forward, some grow backward, and the teeth follow that pattern.
Adults typically deal with the consequences of not treating problems earlier.
They might have crowding that got worse over time, or bite issues that damaged their teeth.
But they also have a huge advantage: they're motivated by their own choice, not their parents' choice.
That changes everything about compliance and results.
Choosing Between Treatment Types at Your Age
The age you are changes which treatment makes more sense.
Kids under 12 usually do better with braces because they're developing and we need control.
Early braces can actually guide jaw growth, which aligners can't do as effectively.
Teenagers can handle both braces and aligners, but the choice depends on their specific case and how responsible they are.
Severe cases almost always need braces, even for teens.
Adults can usually do aligners if their case isn't too complex.
The adult advantage is that you're making the choice yourself, so compliance is higher.
You're not doing this because your parents want it.
You're doing it because you want it.
That changes your behavior around wearing treatment every single day.
What Does Treatment Actually Cost at Different Ages?
Cost doesn't really change much based on age.
Most comprehensive orthodontic treatment in Broward County runs between $3,500 and $7,500.
What changes is the timeline, which can affect total cost.
A kid in Phase 1 treatment might pay less upfront because it's a shorter treatment phase.
But they might need Phase 2 later when adult teeth come in fully.
That's actually two separate treatments over several years.
A teenager doing full comprehensive treatment is usually one flat fee for everything from start to finish.
Adults might pay the same upfront cost but take longer to complete, which means a longer commitment of monthly maintenance.
Insurance coverage is the same regardless of age.
Most plans cover up to 50% of treatment for anyone with dental insurance.
Check our patient resources for specific financing information.
The Reality of Treatment Speed and Age
This is where age really shows a difference.
Kids: teeth move fastest, sometimes 2 to 3 millimeters per month.
Their bone is soft and responsive.
Teenagers: still fast, usually 2 to 2.5 millimeters per month.
They're close to adult bone density but not quite there.
Adults: slower movement, usually 1 to 2 millimeters per month.
Their bone is denser and takes longer to remodel.
These numbers matter because they affect total treatment time.
A minor spacing issue might take 4 months in a kid and 6 months in an adult.
A major crowding case might take 18 months for a teen and 24 to 30 months for an adult.
But here's the thing: speed isn't everything.
Rushed treatment leads to relapse, meaning teeth shift back after treatment.
We'd rather go slower and get results that stick than race through and have to do it again.
Retention and Keeping Your Results Forever
This part applies to every single age group equally.
When your teeth are done moving into position, they want to move back.
That's biology, not laziness.
A retainer holds everything in place.
Kids need retainers for life, just like teenagers and adults.
Most people wear them at night.
Some people wear them part-time after the first year.
But skipping retainers means teeth slowly shift, and you lose the investment you made.
We include retainers with all our treatment at SMILE-FX, and we explain this upfront.
There's no surprise cost or hidden expectation.
The retention phase is as important as the treatment phase.
Actually, it's more important because retention is forever.
Can Adults Have Severe Cases Treated Without Surgery?
Sometimes, yes.
Sometimes, no.
The answer depends on how severe the problem is.
An adult with mild to moderate crowding or spacing can usually be treated with braces or aligners alone.
An adult with a severe underbite or overbite might need surgery.
The difference between a teenager and an adult is that we can sometimes avoid surgery with a teenager by using their growth.
An adult doesn't have that option.
But honestly, most adults don't need surgery.
They need solid orthodontic treatment, and that gets them 95% of the way there.
Visit our other treatments page to learn about surgical and non-surgical options.
How Health Issues Change Treatment at Different Ages
Kids with cavities or gum disease need to fix those before braces go on.
Teenagers with poor oral hygiene can struggle with braces because brackets trap plaque.
Adults with gum recession or bone loss need special considerations.
If you've lost bone from gum disease, teeth don't move as predictably.
Some adult cases require gum treatment before orthodontics can start.
That's not a reason to avoid treatment.
It's just an extra step that makes sure the treatment actually works.
Our board-certified specialist evaluates all these factors before planning treatment.
Should You Wait, or Should You Start Now?
Here's my honest take.
If you're a parent with a kid under 7, wait and monitor.
If they're between 7 and 10, get them evaluated for early treatment.
Early treatment prevents bigger problems.
If you're a teenager, start now.
You're in the ideal window for major correction if needed, and you'll have your whole adult life with a straight smile.
If you're an adult, stop making excuses and start treatment.
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.
The second best time is now.
People always say they wish they'd done it sooner.
Nobody ever says they wish they'd waited.
What Happens During Your First Visit at Any Age
We take 3D scans that show exactly what's happening with your teeth and jaw.
For kids, we look at growth patterns and how adult teeth are positioned.
For teenagers, we evaluate bite, crowding, and any issues that could worsen with growth.
For adults, we assess bone health, gum health, and what's actually possible.
Then we build a treatment plan custom to your age and situation.
Not cookie-cutter plans.
Not one-size-fits-all treatment.
Your specific plan.
We show you what the result will look like before you commit to anything.
We explain timeline and cost upfront with no surprises.
We answer your questions honestly, even if the answer isn't the one you wanted to hear.

What Really Happens When You Skip Orthodontic Treatment and Why Your Choice Matters More Than You Think
You're sitting in a waiting room right now, probably scrolling through your phone, wondering if you actually need to do this.
Maybe your kid has crowded teeth and you're thinking, "They're not that bad, why spend the money?"
Or you're an adult looking in the mirror and asking yourself if it's too late, too expensive, or too much hassle.
The real question nobody asks is what happens if you don't treat it.
That's what we're actually talking about here.
The Hidden Cost of Waiting for Orthodontic Treatment South Florida
People see orthodontist costs and think about their bank account right now.
What they don't see is what happens in five years, ten years, twenty years when teeth have shifted, bite problems got worse, and now you're looking at major dental work.
A kid with crowded teeth who never gets braces or clear aligners doesn't just stay crowded.
Their teeth push against each other, creating spaces that trap food.
That leads to more cavities.
More cavities lead to fillings and root canals.
Root canals cost anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000 per tooth.
Suddenly that $5,000 orthodontic treatment looks pretty smart.
The same thing happens with bite problems.
A bad bite puts pressure on certain teeth and your jaw joint.
Over time, that pressure creates wear on the teeth, jaw problems, and sometimes headaches.
Some people spend years going to neurologists for headaches when the real problem is their bite.
That's expensive and it never actually fixes the issue.
Why Your Bite Matters Way More Than Just Looking Good
Here's what nobody talks about: your bite is how your body actually works.
When teeth are misaligned, you don't chew food properly.
Your digestive system has to work harder.
Over time, that creates digestive issues that you treat with medication instead of fixing the real cause.
Your teeth are also supposed to distribute bite force evenly across your mouth.
When they don't, certain teeth take all the pressure.
Those teeth wear down faster, crack, or break.
Replacing a broken tooth costs anywhere from $800 for a filling to $3,000 for a crown or implant.
Fix the bite now with orthodontic treatment and you avoid all that.
This is why the best orthodontist South Florida doesn't just straighten teeth.
They fix how your teeth work together.
What Happens to Your Jaw When You Ignore Bite Problems
Your jaw has a joint called the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ.
It's basically the hinge that lets you chew, talk, and move your mouth.
When your bite is off, that joint works harder.
It gets tired.
It gets inflamed.
Sometimes it makes clicking sounds or pops when you chew.
People go years dealing with jaw pain, clicking, and limited mouth opening because they never got their bite fixed.
TMJ treatment is expensive and sometimes involves surgery.
Orthodontic treatment early prevents most TMJ problems from ever happening.
That's preventative medicine at its best.
The Confidence Thing Nobody Admits
Okay, I'm going to be direct here.
People who skip orthodontic treatment because of cost end up spending more on other stuff to cover up the problem.
Crooked teeth affect how people see you at job interviews.
They affect dating and social situations.
Some people spend thousands on other things because they don't feel confident with their smile.
They avoid photos.
They talk with their hand in front of their mouth.
They laugh differently.
That's not normal and it's not necessary.
Getting your teeth straight costs less than most people spend on their phone, car payment, or annual subscriptions combined.
But the confidence payoff is massive.
How Insurance Actually Works With Orthodontic Treatment
Here's something most people get wrong: does insurance cover braces?
The answer is usually yes, but not everything.
Most dental insurance plans cover up to 50% of orthodontic treatment.
Some plans cap coverage at $1,500 or $2,000.
Some have age limits.
But here's the thing that matters: if you don't use your insurance benefit, you lose it every year.
Most plans reset January 1st.
If you've been putting off treatment, you might have thousands in unused benefits sitting there.
That's money out of your pocket that you never use.
At SMILE-FX, we handle all the insurance paperwork for you.
We know how to maximize your benefits.
We also offer $0 down braces financing South Florida options so that even if insurance doesn't cover everything, you can still afford treatment.
Check our patient resources page for specific financing information.
The Age Problem: Teeth Move Differently When You Wait
This is the thing that really changes everything.
As you get older, your bones get denser.
That means teeth move slower.
A crowding problem that would take 12 months to fix in a teenager might take 24 months to fix in a 35-year-old.
But more importantly, some problems actually can't be fixed with just braces once you're an adult.
A kid with an underbite caught early might just need braces to guide jaw growth.
An adult with the same underbite sometimes needs surgery plus braces.
That's a completely different treatment that's more invasive and more expensive.
Early treatment isn't just about convenience.
It's about what's actually possible.
This is especially true for kids and teenagers when we're talking best orthodontist for kids South Florida who can guide growth.
Why Complex Cases Get Worse When Ignored
Some orthodontic problems are simple.
Some are complex.
Complex cases don't stay complex.
They get worse.
A severe crowding case today becomes a severe crowding case with bite problems tomorrow.
Teeth that are tilted wrong wear unevenly.
That wear creates problems that compound over time.
A board certified orthodontist South Florida knows how to see these problems coming.
That's why early evaluation matters, even if you're not ready to start treatment yet.
We can tell you whether your situation gets worse if you wait or whether it's stable.
Our board-certified specialist has the training to catch issues that general dentists miss.
What Gum Disease Has to Do With Crooked Teeth
Here's a connection most people don't make.
Crooked teeth are harder to clean.
Harder to clean means more plaque buildup.
More plaque means gum disease.
Gum disease is silent for a long time.
Then one day you lose a tooth.
Then another.
Replacing lost teeth costs thousands.
Dental implants run $4,000 to $6,000 per tooth.
That's not including the bone grafting or other procedures you might need.
Straightening your teeth prevents this.
Straight teeth are way easier to keep clean.
Easier to clean means healthier gums for the rest of your life.
That's not just about vanity.
That's about keeping your teeth.
The Adult Conversation: Why Your Age Isn't an Excuse
Adults tell me they're too old to get braces or aligners.
That's not actually true.
Teeth move at any age.
What changes is speed and timeline, not possibility.
An adult can absolutely get a straight smile.
With clear aligners and modern orthodontics for adults Miami area, you can do it without anyone knowing.
The real question is what's the cost of not doing it.
An adult with a bad bite develops jaw problems, headaches, and teeth wear.
Those costs add up.
Treatment costs add up.
But you can control treatment cost and timeline.
You can't control pain and emergency dental work.
How Modern Technology Changes What's Possible
The orthodontics from 20 years ago is not the same as today.
With cutting-edge technology, we can plan treatment with AI and see exactly where your teeth will move before treatment even starts.
We can use SureSmile orthodontist South Florida technology to make treatment faster and more accurate.
We can offer clear aligners that work for cases that would have needed braces ten years ago.
That means more options for more people.
It also means faster treatment in many cases.
If you've been putting off treatment because you remember your friend's braces from high school, the experience is completely different now.
The Real Cost Breakdown
Okay, let's be specific about numbers so you understand what you're actually choosing between.
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment in South Florida runs $3,500 to $7,500.
Let's say it's $5,000.
One crown when you're older costs $1,500 to $3,000.
One root canal costs $1,500 to $3,000.
One dental implant costs $4,000 to $6,000.
TMJ treatment can cost $5,000 to $15,000 depending on severity.
Braces pay for themselves in one emergency dental procedure.
That's the math.
Plus you get a smile you actually feel good about.
Finding the Right Orthodontist for Your Situation
Not all orthodontists are the same.
Some are volume-based, pushing treatment fast.
Some are boutique, treating each case like it matters.
You want someone who actually looks at your specific situation and builds a plan around what you need.
Our approach is different because we use cutting-edge technology and board-certified expertise.
We're not pushing expensive treatment plans you don't need.
We're being honest about what's necessary and what's optional.
We're also flexible about payment, which matters when cost is a concern.
Check out our patient reviews to see what real people say.
Stop Waiting and Start Moving
The best time to get orthodontic treatment was yesterday.
The second best time is right now.
Every month you wait is another month of wear on your teeth, another month of potential bite problems getting worse, another month of not feeling confident about your smile.
The longer you wait, the more complex the problem becomes and sometimes the more expensive the solution.
At SMILE-FX, we're the top rated orthodontist Miramar and throughout Broward County because we actually care about your results.
