Teens

The majority of orthodontic patients belong to this age group. Either they are children who have started a first phase of treatment at a younger age and are continuing to optimize the result, or children who are now starting their orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontic problems, not only dental but also most skeletal problems, can be successfully treated using the modern and sophisticated tools offered by the science of orthodontics.

In general, orthodontic appliances include the fixed classic metal braces (metal brackets), the fixed transparent braces (ceramic brackets) and the mobile transparent tooth moving splints (Invisalign, Spark, clear aligners etc).

In addition, special mechanisms or accessories may be needed for some time in order to achieve the required orthodontic result, such as for example the transmandibular elastic forces or common "rubber bands" placed by the patient, following instructions.

Orthodontics "enters" the lives of adolescents when their schedule starts to become more demanding and is accompanied by their internal and external changes and concerns. At our practice, we invest substantially in creating a climate of trust, support and collaboration with the adolescent orthodontic patient so that their orthodontic "journey" is a fundamentally enjoyable experience culminating in the reward of a beautiful smile.
