Los Angeles Teen Braces Specialist
At Beach Cities Orthodontics, your teen will be cared for by two of the most respected orthodontists in the Los Angeles area — Dr. Kristin Evans Brothers and Dr. Peter Sinclair. Both are board-certified and have decades of experience working with teens of all backgrounds.
Our office in Torrance serves families across the Los Angeles metro, including Redondo Beach, Palos Verdes, Manhattan Beach, and beyond. We combine clinical excellence with a modern, welcoming environment where teens feel comfortable and understood.
We know that confidence matters — and that’s what we build with every visit.
Types of Braces for Teens in Los Angeles, CA
Every teen has their own style and comfort preferences — and their orthodontic treatment should reflect that. At Beach Cities Orthodontics, we offer a variety of braces options so your teen can get the results they need in a way that feels true to them.
Here are the most popular types of braces we offer for teens:
Metal Braces
Still one of the most reliable and effective options, today’s metal braces are lighter, more comfortable, and fully customizable with fun-colored rubber bands — letting teens show off their personality with every smile.
Clear (Ceramic) Braces
For teens who want a lower-profile option, ceramic braces offer a more discreet look by blending in with natural teeth. They’re a popular choice for teens who want effective treatment without the traditional metal appearance.
Champagne Gold Braces
Stylish and unique, champagne-colored braces offer the strength of metal braces with a softer, more elegant aesthetic. Many teens love this option for its modern, subtle shine and upscale look.
WildSmiles Braces
Why settle for plain brackets? WildSmiles allow teens to choose from fun bracket shapes like stars, hearts, footballs, or even Mickey Mouse — turning braces into a creative expression. Perfect for younger teens who want something playful and different.
Invisalign for Teens
Prefer something removable and nearly invisible? Invisalign uses clear aligners to straighten teeth without brackets or wires. It’s a great option for responsible teens who want flexibility and freedom during treatment.
At your teen’s free consultation, we’ll help you explore all available options and choose the one that best fits their lifestyle, goals, and smile needs.
Signs Your Teen May Need Braces
Not all orthodontic issues are immediately visible, but many signs can appear as your teen’s permanent teeth come in. Early diagnosis allows for better, more efficient treatment.
Look out for these signs that your teen may benefit from braces:
- Crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth
- Gaps or uneven spacing
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Teeth grinding or jaw discomfort
- Speech challenges caused by misalignment
- Noticeable changes in facial symmetry or jaw function
Even if you’re not sure, a free consultation with our team can help you understand what’s going on and whether treatment is needed now or later.
Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment During the Teenage Years
