Having treatment in your teens lets us take advantage of the natural growth that is happening. This usually means quicker, more efficient and stable treatment results.
Most treatment at this time involves the wearing of fixed braces for about eighteen months. Sometimes aligners, expanders, headgears and other appliances form part of the treatment plan.
The teenage years can be challenging enough without feeling self-conscious about crooked teeth or unbalanced jaws. No longer do teenagers feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about wearing orthodontic appliances as in recent years there has been a significant increase in their use. And the resulting beautiful smile can certainly help boost confidence and self-esteem.
