Teen Orthodontics

Teenage orthodontics refers to treatment provided during adolescence, typically once all the adult teeth have erupted. This stage is an ideal time for orthodontic care, as it allows for comprehensive treatment to address dental alignment, the bite, and the smile. Additionally, treatment during this phase can take advantage of remaining growth potential.

Orthodontic treatment for teens typically involves braces or Invisalign. In some cases, additional tools like fixed expanders or collaboration with other clinicians may be required to address specific issues.

• Alignment of the Teeth: Straightening crooked or overlapping teeth.
• Crowding: Managing space to allow teeth to align properly.
• Spacing: Closing gaps between teeth for a more uniform appearance.
• The Bite: Correcting issues such as overbites, underbites, deep bites, openbites, crossbites, and scissorbites.
• Other Anomalies: Addressing missing teeth, impacted adult teeth, or severely misplaced teeth.
