Orthodontics for Teens at Cloverdale Orthodontics

The teenage years are a key time for personal growth, self-expression, and—yes—smile development. At Cloverdale Orthodontics, we understand the importance of giving teens the confidence to shine, both in appearance and oral health. That’s why we offer orthodontic treatments designed specifically for teens—with options that fit their lifestyle, preferences, and needs.

Why Orthodontics During the Teen Years?

The teenage years are often the ideal time for orthodontic treatment. By this age, most permanent teeth have come in, and the jaw is still developing—making it easier to correct misalignment, spacing issues, and bite concerns.

Treating these problems now can prevent more serious complications in adulthood and improve overall oral health. Plus, teens typically adapt quickly to braces or aligners, making treatment more efficient and successful.

Options That Fit Teen Lifestyles

Today’s teens want choices—and we offer them. From traditional metal braces with colorful elastics to ceramic braces and nearly invisible Invisalign® for Teens, we provide a full range of options to suit different personalities and comfort levels.

We’ll help your teen choose the best treatment based on their goals, orthodontic needs, and day-to-day activities. Whatever the option, our goal is to make treatment seamless, effective, and as low-stress as possible.

Staying on Track During Treatment

Teens are busy—from school and sports to social lives and screen time. That’s why we create flexible care plans, schedule convenient appointments, and provide helpful reminders to keep treatment on track.

We also educate teens on how to care for their braces or aligners, what to eat, and how to maintain good oral hygiene. When they feel informed and in control, they’re more likely to stay consistent and achieve great results.

Support at Every Step

We understand that braces can feel like a big change, especially at a time when appearance matters. That’s why our team works hard to create a supportive, positive experience—celebrating progress, encouraging responsibility, and answering every question along the way.

We also communicate closely with parents to keep everyone in the loop. Our friendly, experienced staff makes sure teens feel comfortable, confident, and motivated throughout their treatment.
