Orthodontic Options Built for Your Teen's Life
The teenage years are the most common time for orthodontic treatment — and with good reason. Most permanent teeth have erupted, the jaw is still developing, and the body responds efficiently to orthodontic forces. The result? Faster, more predictable outcomes than at any other stage of life.
But we know that for teenagers, treatment is about more than just results. It is about fitting seamlessly into their world — school, sports, social events, and everything in between. At Ehrmantrout Orthodontics, Dr. Zach Ehrmantrout and our Las Vegas team have built a practice that teens genuinely enjoy visiting, with modern treatment options that respect their lifestyle and their self-image.
Treatment Options for Teens
How We Make Your Smile Better
Whether your teen prefers a traditional or discreet approach, we have the perfect fit. Our Damon Braces utilize advanced technology for faster, more comfortable results with fewer adjustments, while our Invisalign Clear Aligners offer a virtually invisible, removable option that perfectly adapts to any active teen's lifestyle.
Invisalign® Teen
Invisalign Teen is the clear aligner system designed specifically with teenagers in mind. The custom-fit, removable aligners are virtually invisible — perfect for teens who are self-conscious about their appearance. Built-in compliance indicators help parents and Dr. Ehrmantrout confirm the aligners are being worn as prescribed, and each set includes replacement aligners for the inevitable moments when one goes missing. Teens can play sports, play instruments, and eat their favorite foods without restriction.

Damon™ Smile Braces for Teens
Damon™ Smile is the preferred braces system for active, busy teenagers. The passive self-ligating bracket design eliminates the need for elastic ties, which means less friction, less discomfort after adjustments, and fewer appointments overall. Teeth move more efficiently, which often translates to a shorter overall treatment time. For teens who want a touch of personality, traditional metal Damon brackets pair with colorful elastics at each visit. For those who prefer a subtler look, Damon Clear brackets are virtually unnoticeable.

FAQ About Teen Orthodontics
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time for my teenager to get braces?
The teenage years are the most common time for orthodontic treatment because most permanent teeth have erupted, the jaw is still developing, and the body responds efficiently to orthodontic forces. This often results in faster, more predictable outcomes than at any other stage of life.
What are the treatment options for teenagers?
We offer several excellent options for teens, including Damon™ Clear braces for a discreet look, traditional Damon™ metal braces for efficient movement, and Invisalign® clear aligners for ultimate flexibility. Dr. Ehrmantrout will help you and your teen choose the best option during your free consultation.
Can my teen still play sports or a musical instrument with braces?
Absolutely! We encourage our patients to continue enjoying their favorite activities. If your teen plays contact sports, we highly recommend wearing an orthodontic mouthguard to protect their teeth and appliances. Playing a wind instrument may require a brief adjustment period, but they will quickly adapt.
How often will my teen need to visit the office during treatment?
Appointment frequency depends on your teen's specific treatment plan. Generally, patients with Damon braces visit us every 4 to 8 weeks for adjustments and progress checks. Invisalign Teen patients typically have appointments every 6 to 8 weeks.
