Adolescent Orthodontic Treatment
The standard age for adolescent orthodontic treatment is between 10 and 13. At this age, the jawbone and tooth roots have not full formed, and the teeth are easily guided into their correct position. Each child is different, so we recommend checking the teeth early and often, about once or twice a year, and then providing treatment when appropriate.
For adolescents, a confident smile is essential to developing a healthy self-image. Orthodontic treatment can improve aesthetics as well as correct bite problems for overall health and wellness. . Straight teeth are also easier to clean, which can reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. We offer several options for adolescent orthodontic treatment, including traditional metal braces, clear braces, retainers, spacers, and other oral appliances.
