Let’s be honest - teenagers already have enough going on. Orthodontic solutions with wires and brackets might not be the most appealing option between school, sports, social events, and selfies. That’s where Invisalign for teens comes in. It offers a clear, comfortable, and flexible way to straighten teeth - without the wires and brackets.
Let’s take a look at how this cosmetic alignment solution benefits teenagers and aligns teeth!
Why Is Invisalign Ideal For Teens?
These customized aligners are crafted from flexible, clear SmartTrack plastic, which gently moves teeth into a straighter position over time. They’re nearly invisible, which is a big deal for image-conscious teens who might feel insecure having wires or brackets in their mouths.
Here are a few reasons Invisalign can benefit teenagers:
- No Interruptions: Invisalign is designed not to interrupt your teen’s life. We know how busy they are, whether in sports, extracurricular activities, or socializing with friends; teenagers have a lot on their plates. Invisalign allows them to place the aligners in when needed and remove them for easy eating and maintenance.
- Discreet Solution: Teens appreciate subtlety, especially when it comes to resolving minor imperfections. We understand that they do not want to shine a light on their smile issues, which braces with wires and brackets can do. Invisalign is completely transparent and easily placed over the smile, so their friends may not even realize the aligners are being worn!
- Comfortable System: No irritation or slight cuts caused by wires or brackets! With Invisalign, this solution is specifically created to fit securely and comfortably and not cause your teen discomfort or annoyance. This helps ensure they wear them for the duration required!
- Effective Results: Invisalign treats overbites or deep bites, some underbites, certain cases of crossbites, gapped teeth, open bites, crowded teeth, and even smiles that are generally straight, but patients want them to be completely aligned.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Your Invisalign journey starts with a simple consultation with our experienced and dedicated team. We’ll take a digital scan of your teeth and use that to create a tailored plan that shows exactly how your smile will transform - step by step. From there, you’ll get a set of custom-made aligners, each designed to push your teeth a little at a time carefully. You’ll wear each set for about two weeks before switching to the next. Little by little, your smile gets closer to where you want it to be - and we’ll be with you the whole way!
Your teen will love the convenience, comfort, and secrecy of Invisalign aligners. If you’re interested in learning more about this system, we’re here to help. Our trusted doctor will closely examine your teenager’s smile, walk you through the process, and create a plan tailored just for them. Contact us today for a consultation!
