Braces for teens in Darwin and Palmerston
The teenage years are one of the best times to start orthodontic treatment. At Darwin Orthodontics, we offer braces and aligner options tailored to the needs of teenagers, helping to set up healthy, confident smiles for life. Whether your teen prefers traditional braces or a more discreet solution, we’ll guide them - and you - every step of the way.

Why braces for teenagers?
Orthodontic treatment during the teen years is highly effective because the jaw and teeth are still developing, making it easier to guide teeth into their ideal positions. Early treatment can prevent more complex issues later in life and give teens the confidence of a straighter, healthier smile at an important stage in their development.

Braces for teens
We provide a range of braces for teenagers designed to fit both lifestyle and orthodontic needs:
- Metal braces - durable, effective, and customisable with coloured elastics that let teens show their personality.
- Clear braces - ceramic brackets that blend in with the teeth for a more subtle option.
- LightForce™ braces - advanced 3D-printed braces that are fully custom-fit for greater comfort, precision, and efficiency.
Each type of braces for teenagers is designed with comfort, function, and results in mind - ensuring your teen achieves the best possible outcome.

Clear aligners for teens
For teens looking for a discreet alternative to braces, clear aligners can be a great option. Invisalign® Teen and other aligner systems are designed specifically for young patients, offering flexibility while maintaining effectiveness.
- Virtually invisible appearance for confidence at school and socially
- Removable for eating, sports, or brushing and flossing
- Remote progress tracking through Dental Monitoring, ideal for busy families across the NT
Clear aligners for teens give young patients the freedom to live life as normal, while still achieving lasting results.
