Give Your Teen A Winning Smile!

Does your teen avoid smiling because they don’t like their teeth? An adolescent’s smile can actually have a profound effect on their self esteem and even impact their social skills. Further, according to a research study out of Webster University, a confident smile can be seen as even more attractive than traditional good looks. 

We know that our teens are super conscious of their image. Just look at the number of selfies they take, and how much time they spend liking, commenting and sharing their friends’ photos on Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram. That’s why when teens come to Woodfin Cabassa Orthodontics for orthodontic treatment, we want to be sure we have options for them, to ensure their confidence stays high while their smile improves.

Through orthodontic treatment (either with traditional braces or Invisalign) The doctor can correct genetic issues from crowding and spaced teeth to protruding upper teeth. Or, we can address improper bites due to thumb-sucking as a child, periodontal disease, poor dental hygiene, early or late loss of primary teeth or trauma to the teeth from a sporting injury, for example. 

The other good news is that adolescence is the optimal time to rectify orthodontic problems since teens haven’t yet finished growing. Early correction of orthodontic problems frequently takes less time in treatment and is less costly when compared to correction of dental problems that have been allowed to progress into adulthood.

Improving and encouraging your teens’ self esteem is one of our core values at Woodfin Cabassa Orthodontics. Our practice utilizes the latest technology, offering a variety of safe and gentle treatment options to give your teen the customized, individual care you deserve. 

Our treatment options include:

Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are what most people think of when they envision braces. These consist of metal brackets affixed to the teeth and connected by metal wires. Despite their conventional appearance, modern metal braces are more comfortable and effective than ever before. They are a reliable option for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues.

Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer a more discreet option compared to traditional metal braces. The brackets are made from a tooth-colored or clear ceramic material, blending in with the natural color of your teeth. While they are less noticeable, they function similarly to metal braces and are suitable for various orthodontic corrections.

Damon Braces
Damon braces are a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that is more efficient, convenient, and comfortable than traditional braces. They use brackets and archwires to move the teeth but do not require elastic bands to connect the archwires to the brackets. Instead, Damon braces use a self-ligating system that is more convenient.

Invisalign & Invisalign Teen: Invisalign offers a cutting-edge approach to orthodontics by using a series of custom-made, invisible aligners. Using 3-D computer imaging, each aligner is specific to your teeth and gradually and gently shifts your teeth into place. The best part about the whole process is that most people won’t even know you are wearing the aligners. So you can smile with confidence, both during and after your treatment.
