Confident Smiles for Teenagers

Orthodontic treatment raises teenagers’ confidence and guides them to lifelong oral health.
All my friends have it—a statement you’ve likely heard from your teenager during a negotiation. Spin it the other way and encourage your teen through the worries of getting orthodontic treatment by letting them know that countless other teens will be on the same journey. Just like working hard now in math, on the field, or with an instrument is an investment in their future, teen orthodontic treatment is an investment in their future self, confidence, and health.

Straight Teeth Mean a Lot to Teens

Today’s teenagers navigate many challenges, like changing schools and friends, social media, comparison, varying development, and autonomy vs parent guidance. Even if they don’t show it, teens’ self-esteem can be uneven. Orthodontic treatment empowers teens with confidence in their smile, allowing them to focus on developing their authentic selves. The confident self-perception they build now can last the rest of their lives

Orthodontic Benefits for Teens

Beyond straightening teeth, orthodontic care improves teens’ lives in impactful ways.
Correcting overbite, underbite, or crossbite improves jaw function and reduces wear and tear on the teeth. We want those chompers to last a lifetime.
Teenagers’s lives are challenging enough. Orthodontic treatment helps them feel good about their appearance, a step in the right direction.
Treatment now can prevent dental and orthodontic problems that are more serious, invasive, and expensive to treat.
Not only are aligned teeth easier to clean, during orthodontic treatment, teens develop superior oral hygiene habits that reduce cavities and gum disease.
Alignment of the teeth and jaw affects pronunciation, so correcting alignment also improves the accuracy and quality of speech.
