ORTHODONTICS FOR TEENS
Braces, retainers, and everything else that you want to know about orthodontics!
You’ve just heard the three words that every teen dreads: “YOU NEED BRACES!”
BRACES! WHAT NOW?
Don’t worry! Braces aren’t nearly as scary as you may think. In fact, braces today come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making life with braces much easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past.
HOW LONG WILL I HAVE TO WEAR BRACES?
The amount of time it takes to treat your smile with braces depends on three key factors:
- Early treatment — Early treatment allows orthodontists to monitor the growth of the jaw and recommend further orthodontic treatment if it becomes necessary. Not everybody receives early orthodontic treatment, and in some cases it may be recommended that a patient wait until they are older to receive treatment.
- What needs correction — The amount of treatment needed to correct a problem will determine how long the process takes. Different patients react to treatments differently, so while it may take one patient only 12 months to complete their treatment, it may take another patient 24 months. Treatment times can vary depending on how quickly your body responds and how much work is needed to give you the show-stopping smile you expect.
- YOU! — Your willingness to use the appliances your orthodontist gives you plays a major role in the length of time it takes to complete your treatment. Always remember to take care of your braces and appliances; this truly will help make your treatment shorter!

WHAT SETS
US APART
“Dr. Rojas communicated with my son's dentist directly and facilitated the transfer of information between the offices. That was very helpful to me, since I don't know most of the technical terms for specialty x-rays and other procedures. I look forward to working with Dr. Rojas for many years to come, with my 9-year old son and his younger siblings. I recommend them to families seeking a knowledgeable, skilled, patient, and kind orthodontists. ” Erica H.
“As an adult patient with periodontal issues, finding an orthodontist who is keyed into my special needs was the priority. I am well taken care of in the more-than-capable hands of Dr. Rojas, each appointment is pleasant and feels like a visit with an old friend. Most importantly, my smile transformation is coming along nicely. I am eager to face the world braces-free!” Neil N.
“At my age it was difficult to decide whether to go through orthodontic treatment; I wondered if it would be worth it. Well, it was! Even though I had to wear the Invisalign trays for a couple of months longer than projected, I'm very pleased with the final results. From the initial consultation through the entire orthodontic process, I was made to feel welcome and treated with professionalism. Thank you Dr. Jenniffer Rojas for giving me my healthy smile back. ” Esther S.

“My 9-year old son and I have had an excellent experience with Dr. Rojas. They makes sure the visits are comfortable by being kind and setting a positive tone. Also, they always makes time to explain to me and to my son what they will be doing that day, and to answer all our questions. ” Erica H.
