Orthodontic Treatment Needs for Teens

What parents need to know?

The teenage group (13-19) is by far the most psychologically challenging stage in humans. According to research, this age group quite often falls prey to peer pressure, subject to social media exposure while at the same time struggling to understand their hormones. They may often feel conscious of their appearance, code of conduct and social behaviour. Studies have proven that teens choose to smile less or laugh loud less in public places or while taking photographs, owing to gaps in teeth or teeth in front. This often may also pose a concern for the parents, who are always in a dilemma about the corrective procedures.

Malocclusions that teenagers can be subjected to:

  1. Gaps in teeth
  2. Teeth in front
  3. Lower jaw placed behind the upper jaw
  4. Large front teeth
  5. Crooked teeth
  6. Non pleasing smile
  7. Gummy smile
