Teen Orthodontics That Builds Confidence and Healthy Smiles

The teen years are one of the most common—and effective—times to begin orthodontic treatment. As permanent teeth are in place and growth is still active, orthodontics can correct alignment and bite concerns while supporting long-term oral health. Teen orthodontics is often recommended during the adolescent years because teeth and jaw growth are still developing, allowing orthodontic treatment to guide alignment effectively.

At Jacaranda Smiles, teen orthodontic care is supportive, clearly explained, and designed to fit real life. We help parents feel confident in the plan and help teens feel comfortable with the process—whether treatment involves braces or Invisalign® clear aligners.

  • Treatment timed with teen growth and development

“My daughter used to be terrified of the dentist, after just one visit, she even asks when she can go back! The team is so patient and the office feels like a playground. I wish I’d found Jacaranda Smiles sooner.”

Sarah|Parent of Patient

Milena C.|Patient

“We’ve been going to Jacaranda Smiles for five years with two small children and they’ve been AMAZING. We had to navigate early dental issues when both of our kids were infants and Dr. Landa and the team have always been great. Highly recommend this practice to anyone in the area!”

Doug L.|Parent of Patient

Tracy M.|Parent of Patient

“I have been to this office many times over the last few months (oral health with an 8 year old is always a fun time) and I can’t say enough how much I love it. Most importantly, my kid loves it. The staff is the best thing about this office. Destinee treats my child so well! Jennifer at the front office is also the absolute best! I am so glad to have found such a great dental office!”

Kristen S.|Parent of Patient

“We had a fantastic experience at Jacaranda Smiles Children’s Dentistry and Orthodontics! I was very nervous since it was my little girl’s first dental visit, but Johana was incredibly sweet and made her feel safe and comfortable. My daughter didn’t cry at all during the entire procedure, even though she’s only two years old! Dr. Rene Landa was also excellent—very professional and kind. We’re truly happy with the care we received. Thank you so much!”
