Clear Aligners for Kids
At Rice Orthodontics, we believe early orthodontic treatment can set the foundation for a healthy, confident smile. While traditional braces are often recommended for young children, clear aligners are becoming an increasingly popular option for kids who need orthodontic care but want a more comfortable and discreet treatment.
Are Clear Aligners Right for Kids?
Clear aligners are a great option for kids who have a mix of baby and permanent teeth and need mild to moderate orthodontic correction. They are particularly helpful for treating:
- Crowding or spacing issues
- Mild bite problems
- Tooth misalignment
Because aligners are removable, kids can eat their favorite foods with fewer restrictions and maintain better oral hygiene than they would with braces. However, clear aligners require responsibility — kids must wear them 20–22 hours a day, and never leave them out for more than 30 minutes for the best results.
Why Parents Love Clear Aligners for Kids
- Nearly Invisible — No bulky brackets or wires
- More Comfortable — Smooth plastic aligners mean no poking wires or irritation
- Easier Brushing & Flossing — No need to clean around brackets or wires
- Fewer Office Visits — No adjustment appointments, just regular progress check-ins

Clear Aligners for Teens
Teenagers today have busy schedules and social lives, and many prefer an orthodontic solution that is discreet, comfortable, and convenient. That’s why clear aligners are an excellent option for teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look of traditional braces.
Why Teens Love Clear Aligners
- Virtually Invisible — Most people won’t even notice them
- Removable — Eat, brush, and floss with ease
- More Comfortable — No metal brackets or wires to cause irritation
- No Food Restrictions — Enjoy all their favorite snacks and meals
Clear aligners are great for treating common orthodontic issues such as crowding, spacing, and mild bite misalignment. Because they are custom-made for each patient, they gradually shift teeth into place without the need for brackets or wires.
Are Clear Aligners Right for Every Teen?
While aligners are a fantastic option, they do require responsibility. Teens must:
- Wear aligners 20–22 hours a day, never leaving them out for more than 30 minutes
- Keep track of their aligners and avoid losing them
- Follow their treatment plan to ensure the best results
At Rice Orthodontics, we offer advanced options for clear aligners, giving teens great options for their smile goals. Request a consultation today to find out if clear aligners are right for your teen!
