Orthodontics for Teens

Our friendly, supportive team offers a range of options to suit the needs of your teenager.

Teens at Fine Orthodontist Sydney clinic.

Fine Orthodontist Sydney has plenty of experience with teenage orthodontics. We understand that this is a time of tremendous growth and change, both physically and emotionally.

This period of rapid development is an ideal time for targeting certain types of orthodontic issues, including addressing jaw alignment discrepancies, if commenced prior to a growth spurt. Alignment and correction during your teens’ formative years can ensure better, and more stable final results.

Whilst we often associate traditional braces with teenage orthodontics, this is no longer the only option. 

Discrete options are now great alternative options in most cases. This will depend on your family’s individual needs and preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions about Teenage Orthodontic Treatment

While a check up to rule out early-intervention opportunities is recommended as early as age 8, active treatment with braces or aligners (if clinically indicated) often begins between ages 11-13, depending on individual growth and development.

Orthodontic problems are common, but can often be easily addressed. The teenage years coincide with growth spurts, making it an optimal time to correct bite and alignment issues while growth and development are still occurring.
