Setting Teens on the Path to Better Oral Health
Orthodontic assessment and proactive treatment are crucial for the healthy development of your teenager's smile.
While oral development begins to slow as children enter their teens, the face and jaw continue to grow. This allows us to guide the development of your teenager's teeth and jaw towards the ideal outcome.
We offer personalized treatment plans with either braces or clear aligners to address the unique needs of each of our teenage patients. We do this either as a stand-alone treatment or as a follow-up to Phase 1 orthodontics.
Whether the goal is to improve bite function and comfort, align teeth, improve aesthetics, or all of the above, we're here to help guide your teen into adulthood with a healthy bite and a confident smile.
Flexible Payment Plans & Financing Options
At Braced in BC, we believe that finances shouldn't prevent you from receiving dental care. To help our patients manage the cost of their orthodontic treatment, we offer flexible payment plans and convenient financing options.
Phase 2 Orthodontics for Teens
Ages 13 - 18
Phase 1 early orthodontic intervention is the first step to building a better smile. That said, even teenagers who have not received early orthodontic care can benefit from Phase 2 treatment once all of their adult teeth have fully emerged.
Potential orthodontic concerns can be monitored in children under the age of 12, and targeted treatments such as palatal expanders, braces, or clear aligners can be used to address specific issues and reduce the need for more invasive treatments as they get older.
However, it is only after the adult teeth have erupted that the real work begins. Phase 2 treatment is designed to guide the permanent teeth to their final, prescribed positions and optimize bite function.
For our teenage patients, we offer treatment with braces and clear aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite misalignments. For more severe jaw alignment issues, we can develop a treatment plan that includes surgical orthodontics. We can help you find the best treatment option for your teen based on their orthodontic issue, personality, and lifestyle.
