About Fort Lauderdale Braces for Teens and Young Adults

Why Do Teens Need Braces?

Teenagers and young adults may require braces for several reasons, including crowded or crooked teeth or an issue with their bite, known as malocclusion. This condition arises when there’s a mismatch in the size of the upper and lower jaws. An overbite occurs when the upper teeth extend over the lower teeth, while an underbite happens when the lower teeth jut out ahead of the upper teeth.

Fixing these issues has many benefits. For starters, it enhances the appearance of your teen’s smile. This can have a tremendously positive impact on their self-esteem and confidence during these important formative years. But it’s not just about looks. A straight smile also has many health benefits, including the following:

  • Improving your teen’s ability to chew
  • Avoiding tooth decay and [gum disease]
  • Preventing bone erosion
  • Reducing the risk of chipped teeth

How The Fort Lauderdale Braces for Teens and Young Adults Works

When Should Teens Start Wearing Braces?

The teenage years are often the ideal time to begin orthodontic treatment. Most teens have all or most of their permanent teeth, making it the perfect time to address alignment issues. Additionally, teens are still experiencing growth, which allows for more efficient tooth movement and shorter treatment times.

Many teens appreciate starting orthodontic treatment during high school when braces are common among their peers. This social acceptance makes the experience more comfortable and less noticeable.

The best way to determine the right timing and type of braces for your teen is to schedule a consultation at DG Dental. Dr. Green will evaluate your teen’s specific needs and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique smile goals.

Teen and Young Adult Braces Options At DG Dental

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are very similar to traditional metal braces. They mimic them in shape and size and employ the same mechanism to move teeth. The only difference is that ceramic braces are clear or tooth-colored, making them almost unnoticeable. This is a great option for teens who prefer a less noticeable alternative to metal braces.

Age-Appropriate Treatment Approach

At DG Dental, we understand that teens and young adults have unique needs and concerns about orthodontic treatment. Dr. Green takes the time to address questions about treatment duration, lifestyle considerations, and aesthetic preferences to ensure each patient feels confident and informed throughout their orthodontic journey.

Traditional Braces

Metal braces are the original orthodontic tool for straightening crooked teeth and correcting facial asymmetries. If you had braces as a teen, you probably had traditional metal braces.

These braces consist of stainless steel brackets that are attached to each tooth and connected by a thin wire. The wire is attached to the brackets using tiny rubber bands or elastics that come in a variety of colors. Many teens love personalizing their braces with their favorite sports team colors or seasonal combinations.

The purpose of these braces is to create gentle yet continuous tension that gradually moves the teeth into their correct position.

Invisalign Teen

Invisalign clear aligners have become the most popular option for straightening teeth without the need for traditional braces. With Invisalign Teen, your teen will get a series of tailor-made aligners that they wear for one or two weeks at a time. A huge benefit of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, allowing patients to pop them out to eat, drink, and brush their teeth. However, it is essential to note that for the Invisalign treatment to be effective, aligners must be worn for approximately 22 hours a day, every day.

Getting braces is an important milestone in the lives of teens and young adults. That’s why at DG Dental, we are delighted to offer personalized orthodontic care for the entire family. In addition to utilizing the latest technologies to make treatments faster, more comfortable, and more reliable, all adult and teen dental services are provided under one roof, right here at DG Dental.
