for Teens

Why braces for teens?

Orthodontic issues don’t improve with age; they just get harder to treat. It’s easier to treat many orthodontic problems during adolescence, because the body is still growing rapidly at this time. 

Whether we use braces, Invisalign® clear aligners, or appliances like palatal expanders, we can help improve the appearance and function of your child’s smile in a short period of time. In later years, when the bones of the face and jaw are fully developed, many conditions become more difficult (and costly) to treat.
