Orthodontics for Teens in North Vancouver

The most common age for orthodontics treatments for your kids is between 12 and 16. At this age, it’s easiest and most effective for our orthodontist to identify issues associated with bite, jaw alignment, gaps and overcrowding between these ages. Some of the most comon orthodontic issues we see from our teenage patients are:

As a teenager, your child may become more aware of their appearance, which is why most teenagers tend to prefer to get treatment at the same time as many of their friends who are also getting treatment. Addressing your son or daughter’s smile at the right time can be crucial to their self-confidence in the long run.

While some teens would prefer not to get traditional braces, it’s important that we do a proper exam so we can come up with a customized treatment plan that will best address the needs of your child.
