Serving Children, Teens & Adults
Everyone in San Tan Valley deserves outstanding orthodontic care and a beautiful, healthy smile. At Peterson Family Orthodontics, we proudly offer a full range of orthodontic care for children, adults, and everyone in-between.
Teens
Will My Teen Need Braces?
Let’s face it, being a teen can be difficult. During the teen years, life can be confusing for both children and parents. But achieving the perfect smile doesn’t have to be. We’ll guide you through the process every step of the way!
Simply schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Peterson and we’ll make sure you understand everything from the financials, to treatment length, to how to care for your smile once it’s complete.
How Long Do Braces Take?
While every case is different, most teens end up wearing braces or Invisalign for 1-2 years. Having braces or Invisalign is something that most teens expect, and many want it in order to fit in with their peers.
Peterson Family Orthodontics confidently treats cases of all severity, so don’t ever think your child’s smile can’t be improved. Just come on in to our San Tan Valley office and we’ll explain all the options available to you and your teen.
My Teen’s Teeth Look Pretty Good, Are Braces Really Needed?
Maybe…maybe not. Even if your teen’s teeth look straight and their bite looks natural, there may still be some underlying issues that could cause problems for your teen when they become an adult. To make sure there aren’t any concerns, it’s best to bring your teen into Dr. Peterson for a complimentary observation visit.
Teens who receive and complete orthodontic treatment experience the following benefits:
- Less prone to wear and tear, tooth trauma, and tooth chipping
- Teeth are easier to keep clean, which saves on dental costs down the road
- The chances of developing gum disease are largely reduced
- Properly aligned teeth and bites help teens to chew properly, which helps them to digest their food better
Adults
It’s My Turn for a Fantastic Smile!
As an adult, it’s very common for that beautiful smile you once had as a teenager to shift. Or maybe you never had the opportunity for braces when you were young. Most adults want that perfect smile, but they may be worried about how it will look or what it will cost when they already have their own children in braces.
Well, we have good news! Dr. Peterson offers many types of braces to fit a look you’re comfortable with and a budget you can handle. In fact, we offer special financing plans for parents who already have another family member in treatment with us. Come in today for a complimentary consultation to learn about all of your options and get you on the path to having a perfect and happy smile. You deserve it!
