Benefits of Braces for Teens

The teenage years are a critical time for orthodontic care, when the mouth and jaw are still developing and treatment can be most effective. Starting now can also help prevent more serious issues later and give your child a smile they’ll feel proud to share.

Here are just a few reasons why braces during the teen years are a smart choice:

A beautiful smile can do wonders for your teen’s self-esteem, whether they’re giving a class presentation, posing for senior photos, or hanging out with friends, these opportunities encourage lifelong habits.

When teeth are properly aligned, they are easier to clean. That means fewer cavities, healthier gums, and better oral hygiene overall.

Braces help correct bite issues like overbites, underbites, and crowding that can cause discomfort, difficulty chewing, or even adverse skeletal development.

Addressing alignment issues now can save time, money, and discomfort later in life, reducing the need for more involved treatment down the road.

Braces for Teens at Sheffield & Le Orthodontics

At Sheffield & Le Orthodontics, we exclusively use Damon® braces because we believe your teen deserves the most advanced, comfortable, and efficient treatment available. Damon braces aren’t just an upgrade, but a game-changer in how we create confident, healthy smiles.

Unlike traditional braces, Damon braces use a self-ligating system that gently guides teeth into place with less friction and fewer adjustments. That means shorter treatment times, fewer office visits, less discomfort, and improved hygiene throughout treatment.

If your teen is worried about how braces will look, Damon Clear brackets offer a nearly invisible option with all the same functionality. They provide the same benefits as Damon braces while providing your teen with an option that some teens prefer to feel more confident at school, in photos, and everywhere in between.
