Teen Orthodontics

Are you a teen with crooked or misaligned teeth? Don't worry, you're not alone! Many teenagers face the same issue. The good news is that there are several orthodontic options to help straighten your smile and boost your confidence.

Types of Orthodontic Options

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces have been around for decades. They use metal brackets, wires, and elastic bands to straighten teeth. They are reliable and can correct severe misalignment or overcrowding quickly. However, they require regular maintenance like brushing and flossing to avoid plaque buildup.

Clear Braces

Clear braces are made from clear or tooth-colored materials, making them less noticeable. They blend in with your natural teeth and are more comfortable than traditional braces. Clear braces may not be suitable for all cases, so our orthodontist will evaluate your needs.

Damon Braces

Damon Braces use self-ligating brackets, which means no elastic bands are needed. This reduces friction and pressure, making them more comfortable and faster. They have a sleek appearance with clear ceramic brackets and are effective for many dental issues.

Invisible Aligners

Invisible aligners are nearly invisible and removable. This allows you to eat your favorite foods and maintain good oral hygiene easily. The treatment involves custom-made aligners that gradually move your teeth. Invisible Aligners are comfortable and ideal for teens who play sports or prefer a less noticeable option. However, it might not be suitable for complex cases.
