Does my teen really need orthodontic treatment?

Not every teen needs orthodontic treatment, but for many, the teenage years represent the ideal window for creating lasting improvements to their smile and bite. Dr. Travis and Dr. Jen will honestly assess whether your teen would benefit from treatment or if it's better to wait—they'll never recommend unnecessary care. When treatment is needed, the teen years are often perfect timing because most adult teeth have come in and the jaw is still growing, making orthodontic therapy more efficient and effective. Whether it's braces or Invisalign, Dr. T and Dr. Jen focus on making the experience positive and empowering for your teen while keeping you informed every step of the way.

Benefits of teen orthodontic treatment

Boosted confidence

A smile you love can open doors. Orthodontic treatment can give teens the confidence to smile wider in photos, speak up in class, and approach life more boldly.

Healthier teeth for life

Straight teeth are easier to clean, which lowers the risk of cavities and gum disease. Proper alignment also helps reduce jaw strain and uneven tooth wear in the long run.

Custom treatment designed for teens

Whether it's clear aligners that fit busy schedules or braces in fun colors, we offer treatment options tailored to teens' lifestyles—without cutting corners on results.

Your Questions, answered
