Setting Teens on the Path to Better Oral Health
Orthodontic assessments and treatments are really important for helping your teenager maintain a healthy, beautiful smile as it develops.
Although oral growth slows as children reach their teens, the face and jaw continue to develop. This allows us to help guide your teen's teeth and jaw toward the best result.
Sturbridge Orthodontics offers treatment plans with either braces or Invisalign that are tailored to address the unique needs of each of our teenage patients. In some cases, we will do this either as a stand-alone treatment or as a follow-up to Phase 1 orthodontics.
Whether your goal is to enhance bite function and comfort, correct tooth alignment, improve esthetics, or a combination of these, we're here to assist in guiding your teen into adulthood with a healthy bite and a confident smile.
Flexible Payment Plans & Financing Options
At Sturbridge Orthodontics, we believe that finances should never be a barrier to health care. To help our patients manage the cost of orthodontic treatment, we offer flexible payment plans and convenient financing with CareCredit.
Phase 2 Orthodontics for Teens
Ages 13 - 18
Phase 1 early orthodontic intervention is a crucial step in creating a healthier, straighter smile. However, even teens who haven't had early orthodontic treatment can benefit from Phase 2 once all their adult teeth have come in.
While your child is under the age of 12, potential orthodontic concerns can be monitored, and targeted treatments such as braces or Invisalign First can be offered to address specific issues and minimize the need for more invasive treatments later on.
However, the real work begins after the adult teeth have erupted. Phase 2 treatment directs the permanent teeth to their correct final positions and improves bite function.
For our teenage patients, we offer treatment with braces or Invisalign clear aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite misalignments. Considering their orthodontic needs, personality, and lifestyle, we can help you choose the best treatment option for your teen.
