At Simon Says Smile, we offer clear aligner therapy for teens and young adults — a discreet, flexible path to a straighter smile without brackets or wires.
The teenage and young adult years are full of moments worth smiling about, yet many young people hesitate to show their teeth because of crowding, gaps, or a bite that has always bothered them. The good news is that straightening a smile no longer means a mouth full of metal that everyone notices. A modern alternative uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible trays to gently shift teeth into place, letting teens and young adults pursue the smile they want without feeling self-conscious about how treatment looks day to day.
At Simon Says Smile Orthodontics, we understand how much confidence matters during these formative years. Dr. Hazie Simon built this Chamblee practice on personalized, attentive care, and our clear aligner therapy reflects that same thoughtful approach. We serve families and young adults across the greater Atlanta area with treatment plans shaped around each person’s goals, lifestyle, and stage of life rather than a one-size-fits-all formula.
The biggest draw of clear aligners is right there in the name. Because the trays are made from clear, smooth plastic, they are far less noticeable than traditional brackets and wires, which is exactly why this option resonates with younger patients who feel uneasy about their appearance. The American Association of Orthodontists notes that aligners are smooth and custom-made to fit directly over the teeth, minimizing discomfort while keeping treatment discreet.
Beyond appearance, the trays remove easily, which fits naturally into a busy young life. Without fixed brackets and wires, there are no food restrictions to navigate, and brushing and flossing stay simple and effective. For teens juggling sports, instruments, and social events, that flexibility can make the entire treatment experience feel far less disruptive than they expected.
Clear aligner treatment follows a carefully mapped plan, with each set of trays moving the teeth a little closer to their final position. Patients typically progress to a new set every couple of weeks, gradually guiding the smile into alignment over the course of treatment. Because the process is planned in advance, young patients and their parents get a clear sense of the timeline and the results to expect.
Success does depend on one important factor, and that is consistency. Since the trays are removable, they only work when they are actually being worn, so wearing them as directed each day is essential to staying on track. We work closely with teens and young adults to build that habit early, and our team stays in steady communication so families always know how treatment is progressing. For patients with more complex bite issues, we may recommend traditional braces instead, since fixed appliances offer more precise control in certain cases.
Choosing the right approach starts with a thorough understanding of each patient’s teeth, bite, and goals. We take time during the first visit to evaluate whether aligners are the best fit and to answer the questions teens and parents often have about comfort, timing, and daily wear. Families beginning the process can learn what to expect by reviewing our information for new patients, which helps make that first appointment feel familiar rather than intimidating.
Our care does not end when the trays come off. Teeth naturally tend to drift over time, especially in younger patients whose mouths are still settling, which is why we fit every patient with custom retainers to protect their results. Holding that finished smile in place is just as important as creating it, and we stay invested in every patient well beyond their final tray.
A straighter smile can be a turning point for a young person, boosting confidence at an age when it matters most. At Simon Says Smile Orthodontics, we pair discreet, effective clear aligner treatment with the kind of warm, individualized attention that families across Chamblee and the greater Atlanta area have come to trust. We listen first, plan carefully, and guide every teen and young adult through treatment with patience and encouragement.
Led by Dr. Hazie Simon, a U.S. Navy veteran and the author of the children’s book Simon Says Smile, our practice brings a spirit of service and genuine care to every patient we see. If your teen or young adult is ready to explore a discreet path to a healthier smile, we invite you to schedule a complimentary consultation with our team today.
