Teens have full lives, school, sports, activities, and social plans. That’s why we offer flexible scheduling and treatment options that fit your teen’s routine.
Whether your teen prefers traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, or our iClear clear aligner system, we’ll help find the right fit.
Our office is a fun, welcoming place teens actually enjoy visiting. Flat-fee pricing starts at $2,998, and we accept most insurance plans and Medicaid.
Traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, iClear aligners all straighten teeth, but they differ on cost, visibility, and daily flexibility. Here’s how they compare at Hudson Orthodontics:
| Option | Starting Price | Visibility | Removable? | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional Metal Braces | $2,998 | Visible | No | Budget-conscious patients and complex cases |
| Ceramic (Clear) Braces | Ask at consult | Subtle, tooth-colored | No | Patients who want braces to blend in |
| iClear Aligners (Hudson exclusive) | $3,998 | Nearly invisible | Yes | Teens and adults who want a discreet, removable option at a lower price than outside aligner brands |
About 1 in 4 orthodontic patients today is an adult, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. Straight teeth are easier to clean, less prone to wear, and support better oral health overall. At Hudson Orthodontics, adults of all ages start treatment. It’s never too late.
Come in for your consultation and leave with your braces on the same visit. It’s one more way we make care convenient for busy teens and adults.
