Adolescent Treatment
Invest in your Teen
Comprehensive (or also known as Phase II) treatment is normal orthodontic treatment which involves placing braces or clear aligners on the patient once his or her permanent teeth have erupted.
Goal
To get straighten the permanent teeth into a stable bite that will protect the patient’s teeth for decades to come.
Why is this time so important?
Taking Advantage of Growth: Children at this age are growing rapidly, and orthodontists can usually take advantage of these growth spurts to help shape the bite and teeth correctly. Pre-teens and teenagers have high metabolisms, which can help shorten overall treatment time and reduce the discomfort of orthodontic treatment.
Socially: For many teenagers, wearing braces is a part of life - an important part of life because a beautiful and healthy smile can boost one's self-confidence.
