Building a Foundation for a Lifelong Healthy Smile
Having a functional bite and aligned teeth sets the stage for lasting oral health. Plus, teenagers can get a huge confidence boost from loving their smile. We know today’s teens are juggling a lot with school, family, friends and activities. That’s why we rely on the latest technology to ensure the teeth-straightening process is efficient, comfortable and convenient. To learn more about orthodontic options for your teenager, book a consultation at our Kelowna office online or by calling us at 250-762-2824.
Improving Teenage Smiles
For a lot of patients, the teenage years are a great time to start orthodontic treatment. At this point, the majority of the permanent teeth have erupted and Dr. Scramstad can get a clear picture of issues, such as spacing or crowding. Since teens are still growing and have high metabolisms, we can harness their growth spurts to shift the teeth and jaws into place more efficiently. The outcome? Dramatic, long-lasting results!
We Have Options
We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach at Straight Smiles. We know every patient has unique needs. Dr. Scramstad will assess your teenager’s bite and talk with you both about their goals and lifestyle. He’ll then recommend a customized treatment plan to bring out the best in their smile. Whether your teen opts for metal braces, clear braces or Invisalign® Teen, we’ll make sure their experience with us is just as awesome as their results.
