Teen Orthodontics In Miami, Weston And Brickell, FL

Building A Beautiful Smile For A Lifetime

When is the right time to seek orthodontic treatment? According to the American Association of Orthodontists, the teenage years are perfect because the jaw and facial bones are still growing. This makes it easier to guide the teeth into their proper positions and correct bite issues. Dr. Maria Yazji brings a variety of convenient and customizable teen orthodontics treatments to choose from, including Invisalign® Teen, Incognito™ Lingual Braces, ceramic braces and traditional braces.

Why Choose Orthodontic Treatment Now?

There are many reasons as to why seeking teen orthodontics treatment is important. Not only can it build confidence, but it can also make life-lasting improvements in your teenager’s oral health. Benefits include:

Aesthetics

Straighter teeth can boost confidence and self-esteem, particularly during the formative adolescent years.

Health Benefits

Misaligned teeth can contribute to oral health issues such as difficulty in cleaning, increased risk of tooth decay and gum problems. Orthodontic treatment can help align teeth, making them easier to clean and maintain.

Preventative Measures

Some orthodontic problems, if left untreated, can lead to more severe issues later in life.

Functionality

It can address jaw misalignment and bite correction.

Invisalign® Teen

Invisalign® Teen uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth and is specifically designed to address the unique needs and concerns of teenagers. Starting Invisalign® Teen at our office typically includes the following steps:

Consultation

The process begins with a consultation with Dr. Yazji. She will assess your teenager’s dental condition, take impressions and create a digital 3D model of their teeth.

Customized Plan

Based on the assessment, Dr. Yazji will create a customized treatment plan. The 3D model helps visualize the step-by-step movement of the teeth throughout the treatment.

Clear Aligners

A series of clear, custom aligners are made from a smooth, comfortable material that is virtually invisible. Your teen will wear each set for about one to two weeks before switching to a new set, depending on Dr. Yazji’s recommendations. For best results, they should be worn for at least 20 to 22 hours a day.

Monitoring Progress

We will schedule regular check-ups to monitor progress and provide the next sets of aligners. These appointments typically occur every 6 to 8 weeks.

Incognito™ Lingual Braces

Incognito™ Lingual Braces are placed on the back (lingual) surface of the teeth, making them virtually invisible when smiling. Unlike traditional braces that are attached to the front of the teeth, lingual braces offer a discreet option for teens who strive for their dream smile without the appearance of visible braces or orthodontic treatment.

Traditional Braces

Traditional metal braces remain a popular choice for orthodontic treatment due to their effectiveness, durability and affordability. They work for patients of all ages, including teenagers and are often recommended for more complex teen orthodontics cases where precise control over tooth movement is essential. Advances in technology have also led to smaller and more comfortable brackets, making the overall experience more manageable for patients.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces serve the same purpose as traditional metal braces but the brackets are made of ceramic or porcelain materials. The key difference is in their appearance, as ceramic braces are made to blend in, offering your teen a discreet orthodontic treatment experience. Due to their clear, tooth-colored brackets, they are less noticeable than traditional braces and other treatment options.
