ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT FOR TEENAGERS & ADOLESCENTS 

Adolescent treatments are carried out for 12 to 17-year olds. At this stage, all baby teeth are lost which makes it the perfect time to straighten and set the smile right for life. We normally use ceramic braces as they’re subtle and effective.

A good smile is contagious! In an environment where image is important, one of the best social tools is a great smile. Treatment is frequently started around 11-12 years when the new teeth have grown in, although we often prefer to start sooner. For the older child and young adult we plan treatment with a keen awareness of the significant social and schooling needs during these important teenage years.

BEFORE AND AFTER

Why is ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT FOR TEENAGERS Important?


Orthodontic treatment during the teenage years is important because it usually coincides with the stage when most baby teeth have been lost and the adult teeth have fully come through, making it the perfect time to guide teeth into the ideal position. 

At this age, the jaw is still developing, meaning braces and aligners can work more efficiently and produce long-lasting results. 

Correcting crooked or crowded teeth early helps improve dental health by making teeth easier to clean and reducing the risk of gum disease or tooth decay. 

In addition, achieving a straighter smile during the teenage years can have a positive impact on confidence and self-esteem, helping young people feel happier and more comfortable with their appearance as they grow.

What treatments does bass orthodontics offer?


Ceramic Braces -  Our ceramic braces are the most popular and well-known orthodontic treatment for teenagers. Also known as fixed metal or train-track braces, we typically make the brackets a nice white. The brackets are tooth coloured so they blend in with our patient’s teeth and are almost imperceptible.

Invisible Braces - We have our very own Clearline® aligner system, which is similar to Invisalign™. Each case is personally designed by Dr Bass for fast and individual results, using the latest 3-D technology and software.
