Invisalign for Teens in Upland
The teen years are the ideal time to straighten teeth
During adolescence, the jaw and dental arches are still developing — which makes orthodontic treatment faster and more predictable than in adulthood. Correcting misalignment in the teen years improves confidence, supports proper chewing and speech, protects enamel from uneven wear, and reduces the risk of jaw pain and future dental complications.
At Higher Ground Dentistry, we offer comprehensive orthodontic solutions for teens in Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Claremont, Fontana, and Ontario, helping families choose the right treatment for both lifestyle and dental needs.
📞 Schedule your teen’s orthodontic consultation at (909) 946-9090 — braces and Invisalign payment plans available.

How long does orthodontic treatment take for teenagers?
Most teens complete treatment in 12–24 months depending on bite alignment and consistency with instructions. Because bone is still developing during adolescence, progress is often faster than in adults.
What to expect during treatment
Braces maintenance
Teens visit every 4–6 weeks for adjustments and wire changes.
Invisalign maintenance
Teens switch to a new pair of trays every 1–2 weeks and come in for periodic progress evaluations.
Daily home care
Brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and limiting sugary snacks prevent white spots, cavities, and gum irritation.
