Setting Teens on the Path to Better Oral Health
Orthodontic assessment and treatment play an important role in keeping your teenager’s smile healthy and developing properly.
While oral development begins to slow down as kids enter their teens, the face and jaw are still growing. This gives us the opportunity to guide the development of your teen's teeth and jaw toward the ideal outcome.
Our Fairbanks and North Pole offices offer personalized treatment plans with either braces or Invisalign to address the orthodontic needs of each of our teenage patients. We do this either as stand-alone treatment or as a follow up to Phase 1 orthodontics.
Whether the goal is to improve bite function and comfort, adjust tooth alignment, improve aesthetics, or all of the above, our orthodontists are here to help send your teen into adulthood with a healthy bite and a confident smile.
Flexible Payment Plans & Financing Options
At Wentz Orthodontics, we believe that finances should never be a barrier to a healthy smile. We offer flexible payment plans and convenient financing with CareCredit. Now that's worth smiling about!
Orthodontics for Teens
Ages 13 - 18
Phase 1 early orthodontic intervention is an ideal foundational step in building a better smile. But, even teens who have not undergone early orthodontic care can still benefit from orthodontic treatment once all of their adult teeth have emerged.
It is after the adult teeth have erupted that the real work gets started. Comprehensive treatment guides the permanent teeth to their final, ideal position.
For our teenage patients, we offer treatment with braces, Invisalign clear aligners, and temporary anchorage devices to straighten teeth and correct minor jaw misalignment. For more severe jaw alignment issues, we offer surgical orthodontics. Based on their orthodontic issue, personality, and lifestyle, we can help you determine the best treatment option for your teen.
