Premier braces for teens
Adolescence is the most common stage to begin orthodontic treatment. Between ages 11 and 15, most or all permanent teeth have emerged, allowing orthodontists to clearly identify and treat concerns such as crooked teeth, spacing issues, and bite misalignment. These conditions typically do not correct themselves over time, which is why many parents consider braces for teens to help their child develop a healthy, confident smile.
Why Are the Teen Years an Ideal Time for Braces?
Permanent Teeth Established: By around age 12, most permanent teeth have erupted, giving orthodontists a clear view of alignment and bite issues.
Greater Social Acceptance: Many teens begin orthodontic treatment at the same time as their peers, making braces a normal—and often exciting—part of this stage of life.
Increased Awareness of Appearance: As teens become more conscious of their smiles, they are often motivated to address crooked teeth or bite concerns.
More Efficient Treatment: Higher metabolisms during adolescence can contribute to shorter treatment times and less discomfort, creating a smoother orthodontic experience.
