Orthodontics for Teenagers
Does your teen avoid smiling because they have
crooked teeth? If so, you should give serious thought to
their concern about their appearance. Crooked teeth
can have profound effects on your teen's self-esteem
and social skills. That's why you should you look to
Dr. Joshua L. Johnson, a highly trained and board certified
orthodontist. He offers the full spectrum of
orthodontic solutions for teens to help them achieve a
lifetime of healthy, beautiful and confident smiles.
COMPREHENSIVE ORTHODONTIC
CARE FOR TEENS.
Once Dr. Johnson assesses your teen's oral health
and orthodontic needs, he will recommend an
individualized treatment program. His comprehensive
orthodontic care includes conventional and cosmetic clear
braces. Image-conscious teens can maintain
their "cool factor" with cosmetic clear braces because
they are virtually invisible. Dr. Johnson also offers self-ligating
braces that can align teeth more quickly and with less discomfort than traditional braces. Self-ligating
braces also require fewer office visits, making them a
great choice for busy teens. Finally, some mature teens
are also candidates for Invisalign®, which involves the
use of clear removable aligners to straighten teeth.
PUTTING FEARS TO REST
Most teens are concerned that their braces are going to
be uncomfortable. Trust that Dr. Johnson uses a gentle
touch and does everything he can to keep his patients
relaxed. To avoid discomfort once the braces are on,
Dr. Johnson thoroughly educates his patients on foods
to avoid, proper care and dental hygiene.
