Teen Treatment
McIntosh Orthodontics Teen treatment
There are many different options to look into to determine what kind of treatment would be best for your teenager’s specific needs.
Your child’s teenage years are the perfect time to start their orthodontic treatment. Most start with braces between the ages of 12 and 16 because that is when the majority of teenagers have all of their adult teeth grown in. Once adult teeth have officially arrived, issues such as gaps and crowding become apparent and treatment can then be essential to preventing more serious problems arising in the future.
Orthodontic treatment will be recommend by Dr. McIntosh if:
- Underbite or extending of bottom teeth forward beyond the upper teeth
- Overbite or extending of upper teeth forward beyond the bottom teeth
- Misaligned or crooked teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Overlapping or crowding teeth
