Here’s the top tips for teens…
TIP #1
Accept the braces. Teens often wear braces for one to three years, so they become a part of a teen’s everyday life. As such, the sooner a teen can accept the braces, the more likely they are to cope successfully on a daily basis and integrate them into routines.
TIP #2
Accessorize with braces. One of the more pleasant ways to cope with wearing braces as a teen is the ability to wear colored rubber bands. Most 
teens attend a monthly check-up and have the opportunity to change their band color regularly. Look at the changing of the bands as an opportunity to accessorize. Choose colors that reflect upcoming holidays, wear school colors or celebrate your favorite sports team’s latest victory.
TIP #3
Take necessary steps to minimize pain by carrying pain relievers to ease post check-up shifting or wax to protect gums from sharp wires and edges.

TIP #4
Focus on the end result. While teeth straightening is ongoing for a few months, try to focus on the result of all the work–a beautiful smile. By coping with the braces and taking good care of them, the benefits can outweigh the struggle.
TIP #5
Plan ahead. Parents can help teens cope with braces by getting them started early. Often the high school years are more stressful for teens, so by having braces in middle school, they are less likely to have to deal with the challenge of dating with braces. Teens often take more pictures for clubs, sports and dances in the later school years, so having braces early can take away the potential self-consciousness that may result.
