Teen Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment in teenagers helps boost self-confidence and self-esteem during these formative years.
Beyond aesthetics, orthodontics can correct bite issues, reduce the risk of dental problems in adulthood, and improve overall oral health. During the teenage years, treatment may take advantage of remaining jaw growth to correct the bite problem, especially around the growth spurt stage (at 12 years in girls and 15 years in boys).
With the use of modern technology and techniques, treatment is more comfortable and efficient than ever before, accommodating busy teenage schedules. Additionally, early intervention can often prevent the need for more extensive orthodontic work later in life.
Overall, orthodontic treatment for teens not only enhances their oral health but also contributes to a lifetime of confident and radiant smiles.
