Orthodontics for Teens

Orthodontics for Teens

The teenage years are the most common time for orthodontic treatment, as most permanent teeth have come in and the jaw is still growing. At Redwater Dental Clinic, we provide orthodontic assessments and offer Invisalign Teen in-house. For teens who need traditional braces, we work closely with a trusted specialist orthodontist and coordinate the referral so the process is easy for both you and your teen.

Why Teen Years Are Ideal for Orthodontics

• Most permanent teeth are in place for comprehensive treatment
• Jaw is still growing, making corrections more effective
• Straighter teeth are easier to keep clean and healthy
• Improved confidence during important social years
• Invisalign Teen available in-house for a discreet look
• Early assessment can prevent more complex orthodontic issues later

How It Works

Start your teen's orthodontic journey with an assessment at our clinic:

1. Book a consultation — we assess your teen's teeth, bite, and alignment
2. If Invisalign Teen is suitable, we begin treatment right here at our clinic
3. If braces are recommended, we refer to our specialist orthodontist and coordinate the entire process
4. Your teen continues their regular dental care (cleanings, check-ups) with us throughout treatment
5. Retainers and follow-up care to maintain results

We understand teens have busy schedules with school and activities. We work to make appointments convenient and keep the process as smooth as possible.
