Orthodontics for Teens

Between the ages of 11 and 15 is the most common time for orthodontic treatment, and for good reasons. By 12, most if not all of the permanent teeth have erupted and are in place, and crooked teeth, gaps and bad bites can easily be detected. These problems will hardly ever correct themselves, so this is when most parents decide to seek orthodontic treatment.

This is also a good time for orthodontic treatment because many negative associations of braces are not present. Many children in this age range undergo orthodontic treatment, and children are very often able to be convinced to wear braces because they see their friends wearing them, too, and want to fit in.

Besides the benefits of fitting in with their friends, children at this age have high metabolisms, which can help shorten overall treatment time and reduce the discomfort of orthodontic treatment.

Contact our office for an initial FREE examination, and we will be able to determine the best time for the treatment and outline: the treatment plan, the treatment duration expected, and the approximate cost for the treatment.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with my orthodontic treatment! From start to finish, the team was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. They explained every step of the process clearly, always made me feel comfortable, and were quick to answer any questions I had along the way.

The results speak for themselves—my smile looks better than I ever imagined, and the whole journey was much smoother than I expected. I truly appreciate the care and expertise.

I couldn’t be happier with my results and highly recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic care!
