For teens, a healthy smile can positively affect self-esteem and self-confidence. Having straight teeth might also positively impact a teenager’s role within their social circles and their behaviour, and improves nutrition and dental hygiene.
Our teen patients respond very well to Mar Orthodontics’ orthodontic education and hygiene program, which motivates them to develop and maintain healthy dental hygiene habits.
Mar Orthodontics welcomes teenagers, accepts and respects them as individuals, and empowers them to enjoy their orthodontic journey.
No doubt many teens are reluctant to get orthodontic treatment due to worries about braces, but with new orthodontic technology, virtually invisible treatments such as Invisalign may be a very good option for them.
Invisalign Teen is designed just for teens, and the clear plastic aligners are can accommodate new teeth. In addition there are wear indicators to help ensure treatment compliance and this treatment option offers six free replacement aligners.
Invisalign has continued to improve, and is now able to treat more advanced orthodontic cases, meaning more teens can use Invisalign for their unique needs.
50% of our patients are adults ranging in age from 18 to 75. Even those in their retirement years are getting orthodontic treatment!
Early orthodontic treatment for kids age seven to twelve can help to correct a variety of problems, which can prevent more invasive treatment or surgery later in life. It can also shorten treatment time once a child becomes a teen.
