Orthodontics for Teenagers

Crafting Healthier, Happier Smiles for Teens
Orthodontic assessment and treatment are crucial to ensuring your teenager's smile is healthy and developing as it should.
While oral development begins to slow 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.
Nalchajian Orthodontics offers customized treatment plans with braces or Invisalign to address the unique needs of each of our teenage patients. This can be done either as a stand-alone treatment or as a follow-up to early orthodontic treatment.
Whether the goal is to improve bite function and comfort, adjust tooth alignment, improve the overall appearance of your teen's smile, or all of the above, we're here to help send your teen into adulthood with a healthy bite and a confident smile.
Flexible Payment Plans to Make You Smile
Investing in a straighter, healthier smile has never been easier. At Nalchajian Orthodontics, we help patients and their families manage the cost of orthodontic treatment with flexible in-house payment plans and convenient financing with CareCredit.
Comprehensive Care for Teens
Ages 12 - 18
Whether your teen has been with us since childhood or is visiting for the first time now that their permanent teeth have come in, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to set them on the path to lifelong oral health.
Under 12 years of age, potential orthodontic concerns can be monitored and targeted treatments can be provided to address specific issues and minimize the need for more invasive treatments in the teen years. However, it is after all of the adult teeth have erupted that most orthodontic treatments really get started.
For our teenage patients, we offer treatment with braces, Invisalign clear aligners, and TADs to straighten teeth and correct bite misalignments. 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.

Orthodontic Treatment Options for Teens
We offer a range of orthodontic treatment options for our teenage patients. Whether braces or Invisalign clear aligners are right for your teen, we'll tailor their treatment to achieve a healthy, confident smile.
