A child’s self-confidence is precious and fragile, especially in the tween and teen years. We’ve all been there - middle school and high school can be tough places to shine, or even to just get by. That’s why at Lenz Orthodontics, we see our job as not only creating healthy, beautiful smiles for our tween and teen patients but also caring for their overall well-being. Our goal is to become an active part of our patients' support system. By opening conversations with our patients and building relationships we are often able to root out problems and help them come up with strategies to overcome them.
We also have a secret weapon in our back-pocket when it comes to self-esteem: Invisalign Teen clear aligners. Here’s why: A recent study found that while 22% of teens who get braces feel a boost in self-esteem; nearly half of teens wearing Invisalign feel more confident! (Not surprisingly, after conversations with our adult patients, we think the findings would be similar.)
We know that our teens are super conscious about their image. Just look at how many selfies they take, and how much time they spend liking, commenting and sharing their friends’ photos on Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram. That’s why when teens come to us for orthodontic treatment, we want to be sure we have options for them, to ensure their confidence stays high while their smile improves. Plus, allowing your child to have some say in their treatment can increase their feelings of autonomy and self-esteem.
Whether Invisalign or braces are on the table for your child, we will work to help them build their self confidence with a healthy and happy smile. We hope to positively impact their lives not only throughout treatment but also in the years to come.
At Lenz Orthodontics we strive to provide the highest quality orthodontic treatment while also ensuring incredible customer service to make you feel like you’re at home while you’re visiting us. We’re the friendliest, safest and most fun orthodontic office around. Come by and meet me, Dr. Mike, my father, Dr. Mark Lenz and the entire staff to see what we mean!
