Orthodontics for teens
We offer a variety of treatment options that leave our teen patients with a beautiful smile that will last for years. Teen treatments usually begin after the final baby tooth has been shed. And we are able to customise most of our braces to correct both major and minor misalignments.
Benefits of orthodontics
The early teenage years are the ideal time to begin orthodontic treatment. That’s because your child has all their adult teeth, but the facial and jaw bones are still in development. Nipping any problems in the bud as a teen could also prevent the need for more serious work in the future.
Types of braces for teens
Stainless steel braces
Ceramic braces
Invisalign® clear aligners
Metal and ceramic braces
Braces get a modern upgrade with our ceramic brackets. Coloured to match your teeth, they work the same way as traditional metal braces, but make orthodontic treatment more discreet for your teen.
Hidden along the inside of your teeth, our lingual braces don’t even look like they’re there! This innovative solution is another great option for our teen patients.
Invisalign® clear aligners are a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth - your child’s peers probably won’t even notice they’re wearing them. Plus, the clear plastic aligners are removable, making it easy to take them out while practising sports, instruments, and while brushing.
