Give Your Teen A Winning Smile at Gutsche Orthodontics!

Does your teen avoid smiling because they don’t like their teeth? An adolescent’s smile can actually have a profound effect on their self esteem and even impact their social skills. Further, according to a research study out of Webster University, a confident smile can be seen as even more attractive than traditional good looks. 

We know that our teens are super conscious of their image. Just look at the number of selfies they take, and how much time they spend liking, commenting and sharing their friends’ photos on Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram. That’s why when teens come to Gutsche Orthodontics for orthodontic treatment, we want to be sure we have options for them, to ensure their confidence stays high while their smile improves.

Through orthodontic treatment, Dr. Stuart Gutsche can correct genetic issues from crowding and spaced teeth to protruding upper teeth. Or, we can address improper bites due to thumb-sucking as a child, periodontal disease, poor dental hygiene, early or late loss of primary teeth or trauma to the teeth from a sporting injury, for example. 

The other good news is that adolescence is the optimal time to rectify orthodontic problems since teens haven’t yet finished growing. Early correction of orthodontic problems frequently takes less time in treatment and is less costly when compared to correction of dental problems that have been allowed to progress into adulthood.

Improving and encouraging your teens’ self esteem is one of our core values at Gutsche Orthodontics. Our practice utilizes the latest technology, offering a variety of safe and gentle treatment options to give your teen the customized, individual care you deserve. 

Our treatment options include:

Damon Clear Braces: One of the treatments we offer here is the breakthrough Damon system. This revolutionary approach combines tieless brackets and high technology archwires that are clinically proven to align your teeth more efficiently and comfortably. If a clear smile is important to you, Damon Clear can be a great choice.

Metal Braces: Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today's metal braces are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive.

Invisalign Teen: The Invisalign System uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners to straighten your teeth. Since Invisalign is nearly invisible, you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing!
