Custom Braces for Teens
Did you know the majority of facial growth occurs during the teenage years? This combined with the fact that most teens have all of their permanent teeth makes them ideal candidates for braces. Each of our patients has a unique smile with unique orthodontic needs, which is why we are proud to offer custom braces to transform your teen’s smile! We use a digital scan of your teen’s teeth to create a detailed map of their anatomy, allowing us to design custom-made braces using individualized treatment planning tailored to their development and orthodontic needs.
Why get Custom Braces?
Unlike conventional braces, custom braces offer maximized precision, leading to more efficient and effective treatment outcomes. Custom braces offer our patients personalized treatment plans, improved treatment efficiency, and a more aesthetic look.
These systems are designed using advanced digital planning and 3D technology. At Wilson Orthodontics, we utilize systems such as KLOwen to customize bracket placement based on each patient’s unique tooth structure and stage of development, allowing for greater control and accuracy throughout treatment.

How are Custom Braces different from Traditional Braces?
Custom braces are perfectly fitted to the individual contours of your teen’s teeth, unlike traditional braces that have a standard fit from one patient to another.
Do Custom Braces hurt?
While the personalized fit of custom braces helps them to feel more comfortable than conventional braces, your teen might experience some irritation or discomfort when they first get braces or after adjustments. This discomfort is temporary and can easily be managed with over-the-counter pain reliever, orthodontic wax, and a warm saltwater rinse.
Are Custom Braces faster than Conventional Braces?
While treatment times vary for each individual case, the personalized fit of custom braces increases efficient movements and often results in faster treatment outcomes.
What are 3D-Designed Custom Braces?
Custom braces can be designed using advanced digital planning and 3D technology to create a more precise and individualized treatment approach. Systems such as KLOwen allow orthodontists to plan bracket placement in detail based on each patient’s unique tooth structure
This level of customization supports more controlled tooth movement and contributes to consistent, reliable treatment outcomes.
