Adolescent Orthodontics

Treatment Built Around Your Child's Growth

Orthodontic treatment for adolescents can be completed in different ways based on your child's individual needs and growth patterns. Our orthodontist in Manalapan will meet with you and your child to discuss all possible treatment options and determine which plan is the best fit. Dental braces can effectively correct misalignment, improve oral health, and give your teenager the confident smile they deserve going into adulthood.

01. Phase 1 — Full Braces

Phase 1, or comprehensive orthodontic treatment, begins once the permanent teeth are in and the jaw has fully set. This phase focuses on achieving final alignment, a balanced bite, and a complete, healthy smile. Phase 2 treatment is designed to:

Improve overall teeth function and facial appearance
Move permanent teeth into their ideal final positions
Increase your child's self-esteem and confidence in their smile
Correct bite issues that, if left untreated, can lead to long-term wear or jaw discomfort
Establish proper alignment that is easier to clean and maintain for life

02. Phase 2 Treatment

Phase 2 treatment builds on the foundation established in Phase 1, continuing to refine your child's bite and alignment as their jaw and permanent teeth reach full maturity. While Phase 1 addresses the foundational and developmental concerns, Phase 2 focuses on bringing every tooth into its ideal final position for a complete, functional, and beautiful result. This phase typically involves full braces or Invisalign and is customized to each patient based on the progress made in Phase 1 and their current stage of development. Phase 2 treatment is designed to:

Improve overall teeth function and facial appearance, creating a smile that works as well as it looks
Move all permanent teeth into their correct final positions for optimal alignment and bite function
Increase your child's self-esteem and confidence by giving them a smile they feel proud to share every day

Hear from Our Happy Patients

I want to thank Dr. Moran and his team for helping in an emergency situation and saving my son's smile. I walked into the office right as they were closing at 5:02 after my son fell and chipped his front tooth. Dr Moran and the team stayed late to see us and walked us to the process of fixing his tooth. They explained the procedure and were patient with my son. We are very pleased with the outcome and grateful for their flexibility to see us at a moment's notice.

I brought my twins in for their first visit, and I couldn’t be happier with our experience. The office was super clean, and both the staff and the doctor were very informative about caring for my twins’ teeth. They showed me helpful tips and tricks, and made my twins feel so comfortable—they didn’t even cry! I’m so pleased with this office and would recommend it to every parent. Thank you, Dental Studio! See you in 6 months!

As a person who truly doesn't mind the dentist, I can actually say I enjoy going. The office is very clean, short wait time and extremely attentive to the patient's needs. I love the convenience of adult and pediatric dentistry for myself and kids. The staff is friendly and I would strongly recommend them. I appreciate all the dentists' attention to all my concerns and the ease with which my emergencies with my kids have been handled.

Dr Katie and her team are kind and patient and made my kids very comfortable! They explained everything thoroughly so my kids knew what to expect and were very much at ease. Between my three kids multiple visits I have interacted with many of their staff and have found everyone to be very friendly and helpful. The place is clean and cozy, and visits are always on time, and end with a treat that my kids love!
