TeenOrthodonticsinGardenGrove

The best orthodontic treatment for your teenager depends on where they are clinically and what their day actually looks like.

Bloom Orthodontics & Bloom Smile Studio's Garden Grove location offers a full range of teen orthodontic options, all overseen by Dr. Thao Vu, board-certified orthodontist. We match the treatment to the teen.

Options for Garden Grove Teens

Clear Aligners are the discreet removable option. Nearly invisible, removable, and designed to fit a teen's lifestyle. Works well for teens who will consistently wear them.

Clear Braces use tooth-colored ceramic brackets and white wires. More discreet than metal, fixed, practical for complex cases or teens with unpredictable schedules.

Lingual Braces are placed on the inside of the teeth and completely invisible from the front. Fixed, no compliance concern. Strong option for self-conscious teens.

Traditional Braces remain the most efficient approach for significant bite correction. When the case calls for it, traditional braces often produce the fastest results.

When to Start

Initial evaluations are recommended around age 7, mostly to monitor what's developing. Active treatment for most teens begins between ages 11 and 14, when permanent teeth have mostly erupted.

Some bite patterns respond better to treatment during growth phases. Dr. Vu will explain when timing matters clinically.

What Treatment Covers

• Crowding
• Spacing and gaps
• Overbite, underbite, crossbite
• Open bite
• Protruding front teeth
