Providing orthodontic care during the teenage years is one of the most effective ways of creating positive smile outcomes. Wondering why this is one of the best times for care? This is because teens have had most of their permanent teeth erupt through the gumline, and their bodies are still growing. The continued growth allows for more movement in their bone structures. At Green Valley Ranch Orthodontics (Formerly Helm Orthodontics), we are experts in teen orthodontic care. We are focused on developing, implementing, and completing teen orthodontic care in the most effective way possible. Every patient is different, that’s why we create different treatment plans for every case. Our specialized plans will create smiles that are healthy and beautiful!
We know teens can have a crazy busy lifestyle, between part-time jobs, school, friends, and extracurriculars. We offer scheduling that is flexible so you can fit us in around your schedule. We are here to support you!
Since every patient is different, we offer multiple different treatment options that can best suit your lifestyle. We offer traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign® clear aligners.
Why is Treatment During the Teen Years Important?
Orthodontic treatment during the teen years is important because it corrects potential jaw and tooth alignment issues early. Leaving misaligned jaws and teeth as they are can lead to more dental and overall health issues later in life.
Some of the advantages of implementing treatment in teens are:
- – Quick and efficient treatment as the smile develops.
- – Limit the need for complex procedures or tooth extractions.
- – Guide teeth that are growing into the correct placement.
- – Create adequate tooth spacing.
- – Creating good facial balance while perfecting their smile.
- – Limiting the risk for damage caused to misaligned or protruding teeth.
We want the entire orthodontic treatment to be one that makes you happy, positive, and achieve results that will last a lifetime!
