Setting Teens on the Path to Better Oral Health
Orthodontic assessment and treatment are crucial to ensuring your teenager's smile is healthy, and developing as it should be.
Although oral development slows as kids enter their teens, the face and jaw are still growing. This gives us the opportunity to guide the development of your teen's teeth and jaw toward the ideal outcome.
We offer personalized treatment plans with braces or clear aligners to address the unique needs of teenagers. We do this either as a stand-alone treatment or as a follow-up to early orthodontic treatment.
From improving bite function and comfort to adjusting tooth alignment and improving the overall appearance of the smile, we're here to help send your teen into adulthood with a healthy bite and a confident smile.
Flexible Payment Plans & Financing Options
Finances should never be a barrier to achieving a straighter, healthier smile. Munk Orthodontics offers flexible in-house financing and CareCredit to help you achieve a smile you are proud to show off.
Comprehensive Care for Teens
Ages 12 - 18
Whether your teen has been with us since childhood or they are coming to us for the first time now that their permanent teeth have grown in, we can develop a personalized treatment plan to give them a smile that functions as it should and looks great.
The most common time for orthodontic treatment to begin is between the ages of 11 and 15. By age 12, most if not all of the permanent teeth have erupted and are in place, and crooked teeth, gaps and jaw misalignments are easily detected. These problems rarely correct themselves, so this is when most parents decide to seek orthodontic treatment.
For our teenage patients, we offer treatment with braces and clear aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite misalignments. For more severe jaw alignment issues, we offer surgical orthodontics. Based on their orthodontic issue, personality, and lifestyle, we can help you determine the best treatment option for your teen.
