Why Are the Teen Years Ideal for Orthodontic Treatment?
During teenage years, the jaw and facial bones are still developing, which makes it an ideal time period for orthodontic correction. This is why many teens start treatment between the ages of 11 and 15, once most or all of their permanent teeth have erupted.
Addressing misalignment or bite issues during this stage not only improves their appearance but also enhances oral health and function. Many teens who feel insecure about their teeth are able to smile much more confidently during and after treatment.

Teen Orthodontic Treatment Options
We understand that every teen has unique smile goals, which is why we offer different orthodontic solutions to fit their needs and preferences:
- Metal braces: Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable to wear. Plus, you can choose a different color for elastic ties every time your braces are adjusted!
- Clear braces: If you are looking for metal-free braces, clear braces might be the right choice. These tooth-colored brackets offer a more subtle appearance without compromising treatment results.
- Invisalign®: For teens who want a discreet solution for their teeth, Invisalign® can be a great option. Since the aligners are removable, teens can eat their favorite foods freely, as long as they brush before reinserting them.
Why Choose Us for Teen Orthodontics?
At our practice, we combine advanced technology with a caring, individualized approach for each teen. We start with a comprehensive exam, including digital X-rays and 3D scans to assess your teen’s orthodontic needs. Dr. Brad also takes the time to discuss their lifestyle and habits, so we can modify the treatment accordingly.
We understand that school, sports, and social life are important to your teen. That’s why we aim to make the treatment more stress-free with modern techniques and flexible appointments.
