Frequently Asked Questions
From first visits to daily routines, here’s what parents usually want to know.
How long will my teen need braces or aligners?
Every smile is different, but most Seymour Smiles patients finish treatment in about 18 months, which is shorter than the typical 24 months at other orthodontic offices. We’ll outline your teen’s timeline at the first consultation so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Can my teen still play sports or instruments with braces?
Yes! Braces and aligners won’t keep your teen from playing sports or enjoying band. With braces, a protective mouthguard is recommended during contact sports, and aligners can be removed for practices or performances. Most teens adjust quickly and find treatment fits easily into their daily activities.
What’s the difference between braces and clear aligners for teens?
Braces are fixed to the teeth and work 24/7, while clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible. Aligners offer flexibility, but they require commitment to wear them consistently. During the consultation, we’ll help decide which option works best for your teen’s needs and lifestyle.
Is it too late if my teen hasn’t started orthodontics yet?
Not at all! Orthodontic treatment works at any age. The teen years are an ideal time because most permanent teeth are in, and growth can still help with alignment. Whether it’s braces or aligners, it’s never too late for a confident smile.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost, and do you offer payment plans?
The cost of treatment depends on your individual needs and plan, but we make sure it’s affordable and transparent. At Seymour Smiles, we offer in-house 0% financing, CareCredit options, and accept most major insurance plans and credit cards. Our team will review costs and payment choices with you before treatment begins, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. We’re also here to help with insurance claims and paperwork to keep the process simple.
