Teen Orthodontic FAQs
When should a teen see an orthodontist?
Teens can have an orthodontic evaluation when they or their parents notice crowding, bite concerns, or shifting teeth. An orthodontist can assess their smile and discuss whether treatment may be helpful now or later.
Are braces or clear aligners better for teens?
The right option depends on a teen’s smile, treatment needs, and ability to follow care instructions. An orthodontist can explain how braces and clear aligners compare and which choices may fit.
Can teens play sports with braces?
Many teens continue playing sports during orthodontic treatment. A mouthguard can help protect teeth and braces during contact activities. Ask the orthodontist which type is appropriate and how it should fit.
What foods should teens avoid with braces?
Hard, sticky, or chewy foods can damage braces or get caught around them. The orthodontic team can provide specific food guidance, plus ideas for snacks that are easier to enjoy during treatment.
How can teens keep their teeth clean with braces?
Teens should brush carefully around brackets and wires and clean between teeth every day. An orthodontist can demonstrate helpful tools and techniques, including ways to keep up with oral care at school.
