Orthodontics for Teenagers in Geneva
Adolescence is the ideal time to correct dental alignment. Studio Smile supports teenagers and their parents in Chêne-Bougeries, Geneva.
Why treat teeth during adolescence
Between the ages of 11 and 16, bone growth is still active. Teeth move more easily. Treatments are shorter and more predictable than in adulthood.
Misalignment during adolescence causes real problems: difficulty chewing, increased risk of cavities in hard-to-clean areas and self-consciousness about one's smile. Orthodontics solves these problems for the long term.
