Orthodontics For Teens

Orthodontics for Teens: Building Confidence One Smile at a Time

The teenage years are a transformative time filled with new experiences, friendships, and opportunities for self-discovery. At Marston Orthodontics, Dr. Marston understands that a confident smile can make all the difference during these important years. Whether your teen is concerned about crooked teeth, gaps, or bite issues, orthodontic treatment can provide both aesthetic improvements and long-term oral health benefits that last a lifetime.

Why Adolescence is the Ideal Time for Treatment

The teenage years are often the perfect time for orthodontic treatment because most permanent teeth have erupted, yet the jaw is still growing and responsive to treatment. This makes it easier for Dr. Marston to guide teeth into their proper positions efficiently and effectively. Addressing orthodontic issues during adolescence can prevent more serious problems later, including jaw pain, uneven tooth wear, difficulty chewing, and increased risk of tooth decay or gum disease. Beyond the health benefits, a straight, beautiful smile can significantly boost your teen’s self-esteem during a time when confidence matters most.

Treatment Options Designed for Teen Lifestyles

At Marston Orthodontics, Dr. Marston offers a variety of treatment options tailored to fit your teen’s unique needs and lifestyle. Traditional braces remain a popular and highly effective choice, now available with smaller, more comfortable brackets and fun color options that let teens express their personality. For image-conscious teens, clear ceramic braces provide a more subtle appearance, while Invisalign clear aligners & Invisalign offer a virtually invisible solution that allows teens to straighten their teeth discreetly without dietary restrictions or interference with sports and activities.
