Navigating the Teen Years with Confidence

Teen Orthodontics

Whether you have completed phase one treatment or you are just seeing us for the first time we want to provide you a beautifully aligned smile. At PS Orthodontics we believe it is crucial to align the teeth into their optimal positions, not just for a great smile but for a healthy bite that can last a lifetime. During this stage in your teen's development, we can address more complex alignment issues and make detailed adjustments that refine the smile as your child grows.

Once permanent teeth have emerged and all the baby teeth have gone, usually around ages 11 to 13, it's the perfect time for your teen to start on their orthodontic path. With options like clear aligners and our Damon braces system we can put your teen at ease in knowing they will have the best care possible.

By the end of this journey, your child will have a beautifully aligned smile that’s well-prepared for the future. If you’re ready to start on this transformative journey, we’re here to guide you through every step and celebrate every milestone with you and your teen.

Aligners for Teens

Aligners can be tailored specifically for adolescents, providing a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth without the hassle of traditional braces. These clear aligners are removable, blending perfectly with a teen’s active lifestyle, from sports to social gatherings, and they come with a blue compliance indicator dot to ensure they are worn enough to be effective.

Each aligner includes a blue compliance indicator dot that fades with wear, helping parents and orthodontists track adherence to the treatment plan. This feature ensures that teens are wearing their aligners for the recommended 22 hours a day, maximizing the effectiveness of their treatment. Plus, because the aligners are removable, maintaining good oral hygiene is simpler than traditional braces—no more struggle with flossing around brackets!

Damon Braces

Damon braces offer a modern twist on traditional orthodontics, providing an efficient solution for teens without needing extractions. These braces use a self-ligating mechanism that eliminates the need for elastics, reducing friction and making adjustments smoother and more comfortable. This innovative approach not only speeds up treatment times but also contributes to better oral hygiene, as Damon braces are easier to clean than their traditional counterparts.

Damon braces could be the perfect fit if your teen is looking for an effective, less invasive orthodontic solution. They offer the benefits of traditional braces with fewer appointments and less overall discomfort. Let's explore how Damon braces can create a beautiful, healthy smile for your teenager.
