Navigating Teen Orthodontics: A Parent’s Guide to Treatment Options at Elite Orthodontics

December 3, 2024

The teenage years are pivotal for developing a healthy, beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime. Orthodontic treatment during these formative years can address a variety of dental issues, from simple aesthetic concerns to complex alignment problems. At Elite Orthodontics, we understand the unique needs of our teenage patients and are dedicated to providing them with the most effective, comfortable, and discreet treatment options available. Dr. Ammar Al-Mahdi and his team combine expertise with advanced technology to ensure that your teen receives the best care possible.

Common Conditions in Teenagers

Crooked Teeth and Spacing Issues: These common concerns can affect a teen’s self-esteem and oral hygiene. Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Overbite, Underbite, and Other Bite Irregularities: Misaligned jaws can cause difficulty in chewing, speaking, and may lead to long-term oral health issues.

Crowding: Crowded teeth can hinder proper brushing and flossing, making teens more susceptible to plaque buildup and gingivitis.

Clear Aligners

Orthodontic Treatment Options for Teens

Traditional Metal Braces: The most common type of braces for teenagers, known for their effectiveness in treating a wide range of orthodontic issues.

Clear Ceramic Braces: A less noticeable alternative to metal braces, ceramic braces blend in with the teeth, making them a popular choice among image-conscious teens.

Invisalign® Teen: A virtually invisible way to straighten teeth using custom-made, removable aligners. Perfect for teens who are active in sports or concerned about the appearance of traditional braces.

Lingual Braces: Brackets that attach to the back of the teeth, making them invisible from the front. Ideal for teens involved in performing arts or those seeking a completely hidden treatment option.
