With orthodontic issues, such as crooked, crowded or protruding teeth, it’s often best to intervene early for the best results and we often recommend treatment for teenagers. Addressing problems early saves teenage patients from suffering pain and experiencing problems with cleaning their teeth, speaking and eating and increases the chances of successful treatment. We offer various options for teenagers, including fixed orthodontics.

What are the benefits of fixed braces for teenagers?

Fixed braces have withstood the onslaught of popular new invisible braces and remain the most effective solution for many patients. Fixed orthodontics are versatile and they are capable of correcting major issues, as well as minor problems.

Fixed braces are proven to work and the success of treatment is not dependent on the patient in any way, as is the case with removable braces, which have to be worn for a minimum time each day.

Fixed brace treatment is also very simple; once the brace is in place, patients don’t have to worry about taking it out and putting it back in or remembering where they put the brace before they started cleaning their teeth or went out for dinner.

Braces are not the trendiest accessory, but modern braces are more discreet than older versions and the results will be well worth it! At the end of treatment, your smile will look amazing and you can eat and speak with confidence.

Are fixed braces the best option for my teenage son or daughter?

It’s impossible to say which treatment is best for anyone without examining their teeth and analysing their bite. We have detailed consultations with all our patients to identify issues, determine the severity of orthodontic problems and ascertain the best course of action. Once we have the relevant information about your child, we can discuss the options with you and decide which treatment to go for.
