ProviderBraces for Teens in Monrovia & Surrounding Areas
Starting braces is a big step, and teens can have very different feelings about treatment. Our goal is to make the experience comfortable and help each patient feel confident about the care they're receiving.
At Hwang Orthodontics, we offer Damon self-ligating braces for teens with a variety of tooth alignment, spacing, and bite concerns. The brackets use a built-in mechanism to hold the archwire in place rather than elastic ties, providing a streamlined approach to braces treatment.
Teens can choose between Damon metal braces and Damon Clear braces. The clear brackets blend more subtly with the natural color of the teeth, providing a more discreet option for patients who are concerned about how their braces will look.
Throughout treatment, we'll help your teen understand how to care for their braces, answer their questions, and support them as their smile gradually changes.
Orthodontic Treatment During the Teen Years
The teen years can be an ideal time to address tooth and bite concerns as the permanent teeth come in and the smile continues to develop. At Hwang Orthodontics, braces may be recommended as part of a personalized treatment plan based on your teen's individual needs.
The Benefits of Braces for Teenagers
Both braces and Invisalign clear aligners can be effective options for teens. Depending on your teen's orthodontic needs and preferences, Damon braces may be recommended as part of their treatment plan.
Versatility
Braces can be used to address a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowded or crooked teeth, spacing, and different types of bite misalignment. Your teen's treatment plan will be customized to guide their teeth toward their planned positions.
Consistency
Because braces remain fixed to the teeth throughout treatment, your teen doesn't have to remember to put them back in or follow a daily wear schedule. The brackets and archwire work continuously to gradually guide the teeth as treatment progresses.
Metal & Clear Options
Damon braces are available with metal or clear brackets. Damon Clear braces blend more subtly with the natural color of the teeth, giving teens who prefer a less noticeable look another option for their orthodontic treatment.
