We know that teeth are a big deal for teenagers. Crowded, misaligned or crooked teeth can prevent your teen from smiling and even engaging socially! These days, you don’t have to worry about this because there is a wide variety of materials and colors in modern orthodontics. This will make it more comfortable, easier and maybe even pleasant to correct dental problems with braces.

Orthodontic Treatment for Teens 

The benefits of braces for teens include a more attractive smile and increased self-esteem. In addition to these benefits, braces can also help your child sleep better, chew better, breathe easier and improve their health overall.

Straighter teeth are less prone to tooth decay or gum disease which means you can save money in the long run on dental bills. And by correcting jaw misalignment orthodontics for teenagers may spare them from being in pain later on at an older age due to a mouth that is not aligned correctly with their bite (misaligned bites tend not have enough space between the upper part of the jaw).

Types of Treatments

If your teen is experiencing orthodontic problems, there are more options and kinds of braces than ever before. Based on your goals, needs and lifestyle, we will help you determine the best option for them.

Conventional metal braces have long been one of the most effective treatments for orthodontics patients with most problems. However, many teens are particularly concerned about their appearance at this time in life so ceramic or clear aligners may be a better choice to consider as an alternative treatment option due to their discrete nature when compared with metal ones.
