Adolescent Orthodontics

Teenagers can benefit greatly from orthodontic treatment because their developing jaws allow effective corrections. Dr Vundla provides tailored solutions for adolescents. Therefore, treatment can support a confident and healthy smile.

Braces and Aligners

South Coast Orthodontics offers several options for correcting tooth alignment:

• Traditional Metal Braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually align the teeth through regular adjustments.
• Clear Braces offer a less noticeable option while providing the same benefits as metal braces.
• Invisalign Clear Aligners use custom-made, removable clear aligners to gradually move teeth into the correct position without wires or brackets.
• Lingual Braces attach to the inner side of the teeth and provide an almost invisible orthodontic option.

Surgical Orthodontics and Adult Treatment

Surgical orthodontics can help patients who need advanced treatment for severe jaw irregularities. This approach can improve both function and aesthetics.

Adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment. A well-aligned smile can improve self-confidence and dental health. In addition, orthodontic correction can address destructive bites that contribute to excessive tooth wear.

Early Treatment and Retainers

Interceptive orthodontic treatment can begin as early as 6 or 7 years old. Early treatment helps manage issues such as protruding teeth and crossbites, which can cause uneven jaw growth.

Signs that a child may need early orthodontic treatment include:

• Thumb or finger sucking
• Teeth grinding or clenching
• Deep bite or protruding teeth

After treatment, retainers help maintain the corrected alignment of the teeth. These removable appliances help keep the teeth in their new positions over time.
