Adolescent Treatment

Your Premier Deerfield Orthodontic Practice For Adolescent Treatment! 

At Jarosz & Valente Orthodontics, our board-certified orthodontists and dental team provide expert orthodontic care for adolescents all across Arlington Heights & Deerfield, IL! The most common time for adolescent orthodontic treatment is between ages 10 to 14, and for a good reason. By age 12, most young teenagers' permanent teeth have erupted and are in place, allowing our staff to easily detect crooked or misaligned teeth, large gaps between teeth, and any structural problems with the jaw. These common orthodontic problems will hardly ever correct themselves over time, so it's crucial for parents to seek out our professional orthodontic opinion right away for their young teenagers!

Benefits Of Braces During Adolescent Growth Spurts

Aside from the benefits of fitting in with their friends, children who are in their early years of adolescence are growing rapidly, and our orthodontists can usually take advantage of these growth spurts to help shape their bite and teeth correctly. Children at this age also have high metabolisms, which can help shorten overall treatment time and reduce the discomfort of their orthodontic appliances. The benefits of adolescent treatment include a shorter orthodontic treatment period, and feeling less discomfort from appliances while the teeth are growing.

 

Our Cutting-Edge Orthodontic Treatment Options For Adolescents

During your teen's first appointment at Jarosz & Valente Orthodontics, our dental team will create diagnostic records of their mouth, which may include digital photographs, x-rays, and digital scans. Dr. Jarosz or Dr. Valente will use this diagnostic information to create a unique treatment plan that will best meet your teenager's needs. Once the records have been analyzed by our doctors, our team will sit down with you and your teen to chat about their findings and your teen's potential treatment options.
