Braces for Teens in Fort Lauderdale
The teen years are the classic time for braces, and we make them easy. Dr. Chris Freeman gives Fort Lauderdale teens a comfortable, personalized path to a confident smile that fits sports, school, and life.
Why the Teen Years Are the Best Time for Braces
By the teen years most permanent teeth have come in while the jaw is still growing, which makes this a very efficient window to straighten teeth. Teens also tend to adapt quickly to treatment.
It is the age when a great smile matters most, socially and personally, and we take that seriously. Every teen sees Dr. Freeman directly at each visit, so care stays consistent from start to finish.

We Work Hand in Hand With Your Dentist
Great results come from a great team. Teen treatment often overlaps with baby teeth that are still falling out, permanent teeth still coming in, cavities or sealants, and the occasional extraction or wisdom tooth question. Dr. Freeman coordinates closely with your family or pediatric dentist, sharing scans and timing so every one of those pieces lines up with your teen's braces.
