Looking into smile makeover options for your teenager? If your teen is feeling self-conscious about the way they look when they smile, then they likely will not smile as often. Being a teen can be a difficult time, and when there are solutions that can make their life easier, then these solutions should definitely be further explored. Nowadays, there are many modern dental options when it comes to improving one’s smile, for both teenagers and adults, and many can be done in only one or two dental appointments, making the ability to improve one’s smile easier than ever.
Why a smile makeover?
Why would someone want to get a smile makeover? To improve the way they look when they smile, of course! Today’s modern dental procedures make it easy for anyone to improve their smile, which is great because so many people are busy and find it hard to make the time to visit their dentist. When it comes to how long a smile makeover will take, it will simply depend on what exactly the person wants done. Some people may need only one or two makeover procedures to get the smile of their dreams. Others may need three, four or five makeover procedures to complete their smile makeover process.
Teenagers
As long as a teenager is in overall good health, there should be no problem with them undergoing one or more smile makeover treatments. If they have crooked teeth, they can wear traditional metal braces with colored rubberbands or invisible braces. If one or more of their teeth has a chip or crack in it, dental bonding can be used to repair the tooth. If they have a gummy smile, gum correction treatment can be applied. If they are missing a tooth, a tooth replacement option will be utilized.
According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, teenagers should not get their teeth whitened until they are at least 14 years old.
