Braces for Teens

The teenage years are often the best time to have orthodontic treatment.The ages of 12 and 15 are the optimal years to receive treatment as the adult teeth have erupted but facial growth is still occurring.

Having braces in your teens has a variety of benefits including:

• Growth is ongoing and generally helpful to orthodontic treatment
• Friends and classmates are often also in braces
• A confident smile increases self-esteem at a sensitive age
• Provides a lifelong beautiful smile throughout adult years (with use of retainers)

At Appletree Orthodontics, we strive to keep treatment times as quick as possible while still ensuring amazing results. In general, treatment times are between 12 and 24 months. If you would like to learn more about orthodontic treatment for teens, visit our website or call us at 603-434-0190.
