Braces For Teens In Lawrenceville & Loganville, GA

Orthodontic Treatment With Braces For Teens

It’s common for teens to worry about their appearance, and the idea of braces might not appeal to them right away. However, because they are still growing, orthodontic treatment is easier now than it would be later in life. With modern self-ligating braces, orthodontic treatment for teens at Koch Orthodontics is much more advanced than a few years ago, both in appearance and results.

Signs Of Orthodontic Issues

If concerned about the idea of braces, teens may not always voice any oral issues they experience. In contrast, some teens may develop habits to hide their smiles if they are self-conscious about certain aesthetic issues. In either case, a few months of orthodontic treatment today will mean a confident smile for years to come!

Your teenager should get an orthodontic examination if they have:

  • Crooked or overlapping teeth
  • Large gaps between teeth
  • Missing or crowded teeth
  • Noticeable overbite or underbite
  • Difficulty chewing, biting, and speaking
  • Gaps between the top and bottom teeth while biting

How Does Orthodontic Treatment For Teens Help?

Timely orthodontic treatment for teenagers can help by:

  • Developing self-esteem and confidence in their appearance
  • Regulating upper and lower arch width for an even smile
  • Straightening and aligning permanent teeth
  • Preventing depression, anxiety, and discomfort in social situations
  • Guiding jaw development for facial symmetry
  • Correcting unsightly overbites and underbites
  • Reducing the risk of tooth decay and extractions later
  • Preventing trauma or damage to protruding front teeth
  • Improving speech problems caused by alignment or bite issues

Life With Braces

While they do require some routine adjustments, braces are not meant to disrupt your lifestyle! Some soreness is common when you first get your braces and after adjustment appointments. This discomfort can be alleviated with a pain reducer and eating soft foods for a day or two after visiting the orthodontist. Sometimes, friction between the brackets and the inner gums can lead to tenderness, which we recommend treating with dental wax provided by our team.

One important lifestyle change to keep in mind is the types of foods you eat with your braces. Hard, sticky, or foods that are tough to bite into can loosen or damage parts of your braces, causing discomfort or potentially requiring additional appointments for appliance repairs. We’ll provide you with detailed recommendations of what foods to eat and others to avoid when you first get your braces.

When you have braces, it’s also important to keep up a top-notch oral hygiene routine. It is imperative that you brush at least twice a day, and use a flosser to clean in between your teeth and brackets. The tiny nooks around your braces act as a magnet for plaque and buildup, making it paramount to keep up good dental hygiene during treatment. Doing so will ensure that you will not only have straighter teeth by the end of treatment but healthy ones too!

Deanna P.
I decided to get braces on again for cosmetic reasons after about 20 years. I went to a few places for consultations, and ultimately chose Koch Orthodontics based on the clean office, welcoming staff, and great online reviews. I’m about a year through my treatment and I was getting a discouraged I was not going to get my “dream smile” I had envisioned in my head. I asked to make an appointment with my doctor and Dr Koch to talk me through my concerns and go over the rest of my treatment. Initially, everyone’s schedule wasn’t lining up until after my braces were supposed to come off (in 3 wks) which left me kind of bummed. However, the next day, I received a phone call from a lady named Ashley saying Dr Koch wanted to review my plan with my Dr (Gass) and can get me in for an appointment the next day. It was then I knew I picked the right orthodontist. Not only were my concerns listened to, openly discussed with me, and thoroughly reviewed with my current treatment plan by both Dr. Gass and Dr Koch, they really made me feel like they wanted the best for my smile. I truly appreciated the effort of everyone involved making sure I’m happy with my outcome. I can honestly recommend this orthodontist now.

And continuously, the two best techs I’ve had are Johnny and Devonte. Shoutout to them!
Response from the owner:Hi Deanna! Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re so glad Dr. Koch, Dr. Gass, and Ashley could put your mind at ease and make sure you feel confident in your smile journey. And Johnny and Devonte will love the shoutout, they really are the best!

Amina B.
I’ve had such a great experience with my orthotist and aligner journey! From the very beginning, everything was explained clearly and I always felt comfortable and informed. The aligners have been easy to use, and I’ve already noticed such a positive difference. My orthotist has been supportive, attentive, and genuinely cares about my progress. Appointments are always smooth, and I never feel rushed.

Overall, I’m really happy with the results so far and would definitely recommend both the aligners and my orthotist to anyone considering treatment.
Response from the owner:Hi Amina! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that your aligner journey has been smooth and that you’ve already noticed such a positive difference.
