Straight Teeth, Big Confidence: Lake Oswego’s Favorite Braces Option for Teens

Feb 5th, 2025
For many teens, braces aren’t just about straight teeth—they’re about unlocking confidence, self-esteem, and a healthier future. At Garfinkle Orthodontics, we specialize in providing modern, effective Lake Oswego braces that help teens feel their best during and after treatment. Whether it’s for school photos, social events, or just everyday life, a confident smile can make all the difference. Let’s explore how today’s braces empower teens in Lake Oswego to achieve both confidence and great oral health.

Why Braces Matter for Teens

The teenage years are a critical time for orthodontic care. Misaligned teeth, bite issues, or crowding can impact not only a teen’s smile but also their self-confidence and oral health. Modern braces like Damon Braces offer advanced, comfortable treatment options tailored to teens’ active lifestyles. Benefits of Braces for Teens:
  • Boost Confidence: Teens love seeing their smiles transform over time.
  • Improve Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
  • Long-Term Results: Braces create lasting benefits that teens will carry into adulthood.

Real Success Story: Max’s Journey

Max S. chose braces after consulting with Dr. Garfinkle: “Dr. Garfinkle explained to Max and his parents that improving the position of Max’s teeth and bite would help the long-term health and look of his smile. Max was given the choice of braces or Invisalign. After 22 months of treatment with braces, Max’s teeth and bite are now well-aligned and staying in place with nightly retainer wearing.” Max’s story highlights the lasting benefits of Lake Oswego braces—a confident, healthy smile that will stay with him for life.
