Adolescent Treatment

Treatment during adolescence involves placing orthodontic appliances on the permanent teeth once they have erupted in the mouth. Orthodontic appliances can help correct the position of permanent teeth and sometimes the jaws helping to create a more stable bite so that teeth can look beautiful and also function well. Although there is a lot of variability, most girls have a complete permanent dentition between the ages of 10-12 years old , and most boys between the ages of 11-13 years old. Requesting an orthodontic evaluation would be the best way to make sure that the individual needs of your child will be met in a timely manner.
A beautiful and healthy smile can increase self-confidence.
