Starting orthodontic treatment as a teenager can be the best decision to make for your teen’s dental health. As a teenager, the primary or “baby teeth” have all been replaced with permanent ones. This is the ideal time to address orthodontic concerns like poor tooth spacing, improper alignment, or uneven bite.

 

At Alphabet Orthodontics, we proudly provide teens in the Portland area with quality care to overcome any orthodontic problems. Dr. Miller believes that the teenage years are a great time to treat orthodontic issues because the body is still growing and can be corrected faster than it can be in adults.

If you are recommended braces it may seem intimidating, but it is not unlikely that someone else in your class has braces too and there are a variety of braces to choose from! Dr. Miller will help you pick the braces that will create the best results for you and your smile.
