Teen Orthodontics

The teenage years mark an ideal time for orthodontic treatment, when all permanent teeth have emerged and the jaw is still developing. At this crucial stage, Dr. Boris Kaltchev DMD provides comprehensive orthodontic care tailored specifically to adolescent patients at our Evanston and Wood Dale locations.

Overview

After all permanent teeth have erupted, around age 12, final alignment of the teeth can be accomplished with braces or clear aligners. Bite problems can still be addressed at this age.

Our Approach

We consider all aspects of each individual case and design a treatment plan including braces or clear aligners, whichever is most appropriate for the patient.

Personalized Treatment for Growing Smiles

Every teenager’s smile is unique, which is why we offer personalized treatment plans using both traditional braces and clear aligners. Our approach considers not just the alignment of teeth, but also bite correction, facial harmony, and long-term dental health. Whether your teen prefers the reliability of traditional braces or the discretion of clear aligners, we provide options that fit their lifestyle and treatment needs.

Dr. Boris and our experienced team understand that orthodontic treatment is about more than just straight teeth – it’s about giving your teenager the confidence to smile brightly through these important years and beyond. We take pride in creating a comfortable, supportive environment where teens feel understood and valued throughout their orthodontic journey.
