Teen Orthodontics
Providing A Comforting Atmosphere For Teenage Orthodontic Care
For some teens, getting braces is a rite of passage that makes them feel more grown-up and excited to enjoy their straight, beautiful smiles once they complete their treatment.
For others, this process can cause anxiety and a lowering of self-confidence, especially at a time in a child’s life when social relationships and self-image are at the forefront of their minds. However, in the long term, teens agree that the sight of their transformed smiles is worth the process!
Why Do Teens Get Braces?
Not all teens need orthodontic treatment, but if they do, adolescence is a great time for many reasons. At this transitory time between childhood and adulthood, teens have lost most of their primary teeth. Their permanent teeth are usually fully erupted and ready to be adjusted into their ideal positions.
The teenage years are also ideal for orthodontic treatment because, as a common and popular time to get braces or other forms of orthodontic appliances, patients can feel secure and confident in themselves without worrying about standing out because of their braces.
