Setting Teens on the Path to Better Oral Health

Orthodontic assessment and treatment are crucial to ensuring your teenager's smile is healthy and developing as it should be.

Although oral development begins to slow down as kids enter their teens, the face and jaw are still growing. This provides us with the opportunity to guide the development of your teen's teeth and jaw toward the ideal outcome.

North Seattle Orthodontics offers personalized treatment plans with braces or Invisalign to address the unique needs of each of our teenage patients. Orthodontic care at this stage can be highly effective in resolving tooth and jaw misalignments, either as a standalone treatment or as a follow-up to early orthodontic treatment.

Whether the goal is to improve bite function and comfort, adjust tooth alignment, improve esthetics, or all of the above, we're here to help send your teen into adulthood with a healthy bite and a confident smile.

Whether your teen has been with us since childhood or they are coming to us for the first time now that their permanent teeth have grown in, we can develop a personalized treatment plan that will help set them on the path to great oral health for life.

At this stage of life, confidence matters just as much as oral health. Our team understands the unique needs of teens and works to make treatment as comfortable and seamless as possible.
