Guiding Teens Toward a Healthy, Confident Smile
Orthodontic evaluation and treatment play an important role in supporting your teenager’s oral health and ensuring their smile develops properly.
Even though growth begins to slow as kids enter their teen years, the face and jaw are still changing. This provides a window of opportunity to guide the development of teeth and jaws for the best possible outcome.
At Pavlo Orthodontics, we create personalized treatment plans using braces or Invisalign to meet the unique needs of each teen. Treatment can be stand-alone or follow Phase 1 orthodontics.
Whether the focus is improving bite function, aligning teeth, enhancing esthetics, or a combination of these goals, our team works to help your teen enter adulthood with a healthy bite and a confident smile.
Flexible Payment Plans & Financing Options
At Pavlo Orthodontics, we believe that finances should never be a barrier to health care. To help our patients manage the cost of orthodontic treatment, we offer flexible payment plans and convenient financing with Orthobanc.
Phase 2 Orthodontics for Teens
Ages 13 - 18
Phase 1, or early orthodontic intervention, lays the foundation for a healthy smile. Even teens who did not receive early orthodontic care can benefit from Phase 2 treatment once all adult teeth have come in.
For children under 12, potential concerns can be monitored and addressed with targeted treatments such as palatal expanders, braces, or Invisalign First. These early steps can help reduce the need for more extensive treatment during the teen years.
Phase 2 treatment begins after the permanent teeth have fully erupted. This phase focuses on guiding adult teeth into their final positions and optimizing bite function for long-term dental health.
For teenagers, we offer braces and Invisalign clear aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. For more significant jaw alignment concerns, surgical orthodontics may be recommended. Based on your teen’s orthodontic needs, personality, and lifestyle, we can help determine which treatment option is best suited to them.
