Maybe your teenage kid seems to love and hate you on alternate days of the week. But kids don’t have to hate braces at all anymore! Call Duryea Orthodontics (303-987-0500) to find out why!
Did you know that modern braces made of twisted metal wires were invented in the early 19th century in France? Naturally, before that, the usual cast of characters experimented with their own versions - Egyptian mummies suggest that the earliest efforts involved cords of animal skin used to fasten teeth!
Duryea Orthodontics, with locations in both Lakewood and Littleton, provides Invisalign clear braces treatments for teenagers who want brighter and straighter smiles - without drawing unwanted attention to the treatment process from their peers. Clear aligners can be used to address crowding and spacing concerns as well as some mild biting problems - including overbite, underbite, and crossbite.
If you've got a teen or two in your household, this is a pretty low-key, no-fuss way of resolving some dental issues - and hey, it should prompt more smiles from everyone!

The dental practice, headed by Dr. Michael Duryea D.D.S., P.C., offers an accelerated program for the complete treatment process as well, reducing the time your kids spend in Invisalign or braces by as much as 50%. This system requires only 20 minutes per day wearing a lightweight, hands-free activator and a mouthguard.
Oh, yeah, this system works for you too if you want!
Psychologists and parents have observed that children between the ages of thirteen and eighteen especially have difficulty expressing how they feel - and are especially loath to discuss their own insecurities. A crooked smile, for example, may trigger a sense of insecurity while growing up. Similarly, kids who avoid eye contact or decline to smile in photos may suffer from low self-esteem and paralyzing self-consciousness - which can stem from seemingly minor issues such as gapped teeth or mild overbites.
The entire team at Duryea Orthodontics makes every effort to accommodate teenagers’ anxieties - with the simple goal of providing effective, non-disruptive care, that will yield visible results as quickly as possible. Exactly what both of you probably want!
Instead of metal brackets, Invisalign works by using a series of clear plastic trays - aligners - to straighten teeth. The aligners fit comfortably and almost invisibly in the mouth, and can be easily removed when necessary. Clear aligner therapy applies gentle pressure on the patient’s teeth to enable the gradual straightening adjustments necessary for a more confident smile.
The Duryea Smiles Accelerated Treatment System uses SoftPulse Technology - a system that ‘hurries up’ bone movement around the patient’s teeth for a very brief period - 20 minutes - every day. You or your teen can comfortably engage in most everyday home activities during this process.
One patient commented about the practice: “I personally went through the Invisalign treatment and it has been smooth all the way through. Their financing is simple and they work with you on payments and they make sure you are comfortable and happy all the way through. I thank this team for being so great and giving me the smile I’ve been wanting.”
