Orthodontic care is commonly recommended during adolescence, which is why Toothworks of Bakersfield offers teen orthodontics in Bakersfield, California. If you have a child that you would like to start teeth straightening treatment for, please call our dental office at 661-323-9421 and schedule an appointment with our friendly orthodontist, Dr. David Zaghi.
These days, appearances mean a lot, and what better way can you help your teen feel more self-confident than with healthy, straight teeth? For your teen to reach their ideal smile, our orthodontist and team recommend orthodontic treatment during their teenage years as their jaw and ligaments are still developing, making their treatment a lot easier.
We know teenagers like to be involved and keep themselves busy with their school, work, social lives, sports and other extracurricular activities. Our office will work with your teen to see which orthodontic treatment would best fit their needs to lead them to a healthy, balanced smile. These may include traditional metal braces or other discreet alternatives for your teen to work towards the smile they always wanted. We will also share tips with you and your teen on how to care for their smile during orthodontic treatment.
Other benefits of having your teen receive orthodontic treatment in their teenage years include:
- Improvements in their oral health
- Shorter treatment times
- Preserves the space for teeth that still need to erupt
- Enhances their facial symmetry
- Reduces the risk of a tooth extraction
Give us a call today to schedule a consultation for your teen to meet with our orthodontist and learn more about teen orthodontics.
