Orthodontic treatments are available for people of all ages, but the teen years are the perfect time for improving the alignment of your child’s smile. As a teenager, your child’s jaws and ligaments are still developing, which can make treatment easier. Other benefits of teen orthodontics include:

• Reduced need for tooth extractions
• Improved appearance and facial symmetry
• Preservation of space for teeth that have yet to erupt
• Better dental health
• Shorter treatment times

At our office, our orthodontist and team will work with you and your teen to find the right treatment for their smile. We know that teens lead active lifestyles, which can include friends, school, work, sports and other activities, and we will help you find an option that will suit your child. That may be traditional braces or another type of braces, clear aligners, or other methods. You can also count on our team to explain to you and your teen how to care for their smile and dental work. We will also be there if any problems occur and if you or your teen have any questions.

If you would like more information or want to schedule an examination and consultation with our orthodontist, call our office today.
