Teenage years are an ideal time to begin orthodontic treatment. With rapid growth and tooth development, it’s easier to guide teeth into their correct positions. At Broadbeach Orthodontics, we specialise in teen orthodontics, providing customised solutions for a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime.
Why Orthodontic Treatment in the Teen Years?
Active Growth Phase
Teens experience significant jaw and facial growth, making it easier to address issues such as misaligned teeth, overbites, and underbites. Correcting these problems during this period can help avoid more extensive treatments later in life.
Comprehensive Treatment Options
Teenagers have access to a wide range of orthodontic solutions, including:
Expanders: To address jaw discrepancies and create room for proper alignment.:
Metal Braces: The most common type of braces, metal braces are effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues.
Clear Braces: Clear braces function like metal braces but are made from a clear material, making them less noticeable.
Custom 3D Printed LightForce Braces: These braces are tailored specifically to your teen’s teeth using advanced 3D printing technology, providing a precise and efficient treatment.
Clear Aligners: Discreet choices such as Invisalign or Angel Aligners designed for active teens.
Prevent Future Problems
Early intervention can prevent long-term dental issues, such as excessive wear on teeth, jaw pain, or difficulties with oral hygiene.
Signs Your Teen Might Need Orthodontics
