Orthodontic appliances for teens
At this age, treatment can benefit from a "growth spurt" period that helps correct occlusion (bite) and jaw coordination. At this age, metabolism is increased and this helps to shorten orthodontic treatment periods.
There are more types of orthodontic appliances that work at this age, and are chosen according to the specifics of the case. Whether a removable, a classic fixed or an invisible appliance is recommended, the results are very good, so adolescence is a time when orthodontic appliances are very effective.
Advantages of wearing braces as a teenager
- They improve social and personal life: the teenager with a beautiful smile and an aesthetic facial appearance becomes more self-confident, more confident.
- With orthodontic treatments performed during adolescence, when the jaws are still growing, we achieve results that may not be possible once the face and jaw bones have fully developed.
- Improve general health by correcting the bite (occlusion) that causes easier chewing of food.
- They can help prevent tooth cavities as it is easier to clean teeth that are aligned than crowded, overlapping teeth.
- Decreases the risk of gum disease by correcting traumatic occlusion and aligning teeth to allow for better hygiene.
- Protects teeth: patients with an irregular bite pattern (occlusion) often show uneven stress and negative impact on certain teeth, causing problems of abrasion, abfraction, cracks in dental tissue.
- Prevent temporomandibular joint disorders.
