Most cases can be treated with either braces or clear aligners under Dr. Alex's expert care. We focus on achieving straight teeth, proper bite alignment, and optimal jaw function.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do braces or Invisalign cost for teens on Maui?

Most teen orthodontic cases at Maui Braces range from $7,000 to $8,500 without insurance benefits, depending on the complexity of your teen's case and the type of treatment. We offer 0% interest financing with down payments as low as $350 and monthly payments starting at $250 per month. Your free consultation includes an exact quote and a full review of your insurance benefits before anything begins.

Braces or Invisalign: Which Is Better for Teens?

Both are excellent options and many teens are candidates for either. Braces are fixed and ideal for complex cases. Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible and removable, a popular choice for teens who play sports, instruments, or want a more discreet option. Dr. Alex will evaluate your teen's specific case and recommend the best fit at your free consultation.

How long does orthodontic treatment take for teens?

Most teen orthodontic treatment at Maui Braces takes 12 to 24 months depending on the complexity of the case. Advanced digital treatment planning and self-ligating braces result in approximately 30% fewer appointments than traditional orthodontic offices. Staying clean and not missing appointments helps treatment move as efficiently as possible.

Can my teen play sports with braces?

Yes. We recommend wearing a mouthguard to protect braces and teeth during contact sports. Invisalign clear aligners can be removed entirely for sports, making them a popular option for active teens. Dr. Alex will discuss the best option for your teen's lifestyle at your free consultation.

Does Maui Braces accept insurance for teen orthodontic treatment?

Yes. We work with all insurance plans that include an orthodontic benefit, including HMSA Dental Blue, HMAA, Kaiser Permanente Hawaii Dental, and Hawaii Dental Service. Our team verifies your teen's benefits before your visit. 0% financing is available for any remaining balance.
