Straighten Your Smile with Braces, Invisalign, and Personalized Treatment

Braces and Clear Aligners for Teens

Orthodontic care is particularly important during the teenage years. Addressing any misalignment or crowding as your child’s teeth and jaw continue to grow is necessary to ensure a radiant, beautiful, and healthy smile. Orthodontic treatment during the teen years will save them from future costly and inconvenient orthodontic issues.

Orthodontic issues in teens can lead to difficulty speaking, chewing, or even breathing if there are severe misalignments. It can also affect mental health, social interactions, and self-esteem. As a result of these orthodontic conditions, tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease are also more likely to occur.

Having a healthy, confident smile is important for your child’s overall health. Here at Movement Orthodontics, we are dedicated to helping your child’s teeth and jaws develop properly as they grow. Our team provides personalized and compassionate care to your child, whether they need traditional braces or clear aligners.

Types of Braces for Teens

Traditional Braces

Traditional braces are incredibly reliable and effective for correcting a wide range of orthodontic problems. Compared to the early versions of traditional braces, our modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than ever. Using braces can solve various problems, including tooth decay and gum disease caused by misaligned teeth.

Angel Clear Aligners

Angel Aligners offers a cutting-edge solution for enhancing your smile without traditional metal braces and wires. This treatment features a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners designed for discreet and comfortable wear. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Dao and with their unique features, Angel Aligners gradually straighten your teeth, helping you achieve your ideal smile.
