We are committed to providing exceptional, personalized care tailored to each teen's unique needs to deliver beautiful, lasting smiles.
What Are Braces?
Braces are orthodontic devices made of metal brackets and wires that place precise and gentle pressure on your teen's teeth, gradually shifting them into ideal positions. The wires connect to the brackets using elastics known as o-rings that come in fun colors to choose from for a more personalized look. Periodic visits to our practice will allow our experienced team to tighten the archwires, keeping your teen's treatment on track.
Why Are the Teen Years Ideal for Orthodontic Treatment?
Teen orthodontics, or phase 2 treatment, is usually recommended when your child has lost all the baby teeth and most of the permanent ones have come in. During this time of change, the jawbone is still growing, malleable, and responsive to treatment, producing exceptional outcomes. Correcting alignment concerns during the teens can enhance your child's self-image during these critical years.
Is Your Teen a Candidate for Braces?
Braces can correct a variety of mild to complex orthodontic concerns, including crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth and problems with the bite, such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. While there are many orthodontic solutions available for your teen, braces are highly effective in correcting the most complex concerns, making them the most trusted orthodontic solution for generations.
