Adolescents and BracesEvery case is different, however, because your child is still growing during their adolescent years, it is the optimal time for achieving the best orthodontic results. Treatment can take anywhere from one year to three years depending on several factors. One of the most important factors to the success of your child's orthodontic treatment is their commitment and understanding. To achieve the best results, your child will need to follow theinstructions of their orthodontist. This includes wearing the orthodontic appliances as prescribed by the orthodontist, good oral hygiene, keeping all appointments and avoiding certain foods that may damage the orthodontic appliances. Times have changed and now your child can customize their orthodontic look! Your child will be able to choose from myriad of colors for their elastic ties. Orthodontic brackets are now smaller and less visible than in past years. Clear brackets or Clear Correct Aligners are additional options for certain patients. |
