Braces for teens has dramatically changed over the years. Braces have even become a right of passage for almost every child in America. Whether your teen loves the idea of adding color to their braces or wants a “clear braces” solution, Sweet Tooth Orthodontics is excited to build a treatment plan that’s just right for you.
The Importance of Orthodontic Braces
Braces help with dental alignment, corrects improper bites, crooked teeth and more. By helping your teen's teeth stay straight, they serve to prevent more complicated dental procedures from happening down the road.
Additionally, braces can help to reduce the risk of tooth decay, as well as gum disease. Sweet Tooth Orthodontics personalizes your teen's braces to fit their unique style and personality so that they can show off their confident, straight and beautiful smile.
Signs Your Child May Need Braces
Orthodontic treatment with braces can help correct a wide range of dental issues, ensuring your child enjoys a healthy and confident smile. If you're wondering whether your child may benefit from braces, watch out for the following signs:
- Crooked or Misaligned Teeth: Teeth that are noticeably crooked or out of alignment may indicate the need for braces.
- Overcrowded Teeth: Overcrowding occurs when there isn't enough space in the mouth for all of your child's teeth to align properly. This can result in overlapping or tightly packed teeth.
- Gaps or Spaces Between Teeth: Excessive gaps or spaces between teeth can be a sign of dental misalignment. Braces can help close these gaps for a more even smile.
- Irregular Bite Patterns: An irregular bite, such as an overbite (upper teeth protrude too far over the lower teeth), an underbite (lower teeth protrude too far in front of upper teeth), or a crossbite (upper and lower teeth don't align properly), may require orthodontic treatment.
- Difficulty Chewing or Speaking: If your child has difficulty chewing food or experiences speech issues due to dental misalignment, braces may help improve their oral function.
- Jaw Pain or Discomfort: Frequent jaw pain or discomfort, especially while eating or speaking, could be a sign of misaligned teeth or a bite problem that requires correction.
