Invisalign Teen is a revolutionary way to straighten your adolescent’s teeth without the inconvenience of traditional metal braces. Invisalign uses a system of clear, removable aligner trays custom-fit for your teen. These aligners are worn over the teeth and swapped for a new set every two weeks. Gradually, your teen’s teeth will shift into place, resulting in a beautiful, straight smile. If you’re considering Invisalign Teen, it’s essential to understand how it works and the benefits it offers.
Effective for Various Orthodontic Problems
With proper use, Invisalign Teen can treat both mild and more severe orthodontic issues, including underbites, overbites, gaps, and excessive crowding.
Flexibility and Comfort
One of the key advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. This feature allows your teen to continue enjoying their favorite activities, like playing sports or playing musical instruments, without worrying about damaging wires or brackets.
No Food Restrictions
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign Teen allows your teen to eat whatever they like, without the need to avoid certain foods that can damage metal braces.
Easy to Clean
Invisalign aligners are simple to remove for cleaning, brushing, and flossing, ensuring that your teen’s oral hygiene routine remains intact throughout treatment.
Treatment Duration
In most cases, the treatment time with Invisalign is similar to or even shorter than that of traditional braces. The exact time will depend on the condition of your teen’s teeth.
Optimal Wear for Best Results
To achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time, it’s recommended that your teen wears the Invisalign aligners 20-22 hours a day. Invisalign Teen also features a built-in indicator that helps your orthodontist track whether the aligners are being worn for the required amount of time.
Fewer Office Visits
With Invisalign, your teen will spend less time at the orthodontist’s office. Traditional braces often require regular adjustments and repairs for broken wires or brackets. With Invisalign, office visits are needed only every 4-6 weeks.
Eligibility
Most adolescents who need orthodontic treatment are good candidates for Invisalign Teen. It’s important to consult with an orthodontist who is a qualified Invisalign provider to determine if this treatment option is right for your teen.
