Teen Orthodontics
We are pleased to provide teeth orthodontics in Midlothian, Virginia. These services focus on addressing dental misalignments and bite issues in adolescent patients. This phase of orthodontic treatment typically occurs during the teenage years when permanent teeth are fully developed, since teen years are an ideal time for orthodontic treatment as the jaw is still growing, making it easier to guide teeth into proper alignment.
Teen Orthodontic Treatment Options:
Various orthodontic treatments are available for teenagers, catering to their unique dental needs and preferences.
- Traditional Braces: Metal brackets and wires are effective for addressing a wide range of alignment issues. We collaborate with local specialists for this service.
- Clear Aligners: Removable, transparent aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces and are offered here at our office!
- Functional Appliances: Devices like headgear or expanders correct bite irregularities and jaw growth discrepancies.
Benefits and Impact:
Teen orthodontics offers several benefits that extend beyond aesthetics.
- Improved Self-Confidence: Achieving a straight smile can boost teenagers’ self-esteem and social interactions.
- Proper Alignment: Orthodontic treatment promotes optimal bite function, reducing the risk of dental problems.
- Prevention of Complications: Addressing misalignments early prevents potential dental issues in the future.
