Invisalign Teen

Is Your Teen a Good Fit for Invisalign?

Clear Invisalign aligners are a discreet and more comfortable way for your teen to straighten their smile. Here are some things to consider when deciding whether Invisalign is right for your child: 

• Treatment Required: Invisalign can help with most simple alignment treatments. However, traditional braces might be more suitable if your teen requires more complex treatments. 
• Responsibility Level: During treatment, your child will have to wear their aligners for 20-22 hours a day and remember to remove and replace them when eating and brushing their teeth. 
• Mental Health: Invisalign can help ease worrying thoughts about self-image and judgment from others. 

How Invisalign Teen Works

Invisalign Teen is similar to the standard Invisalign approach. Plastic aligners are used to fit over your child’s teeth. These aligners gradually move their teeth into position and are switched out every few weeks. 

Invisalign Teen has added compliance indicators to help teens stay on track with their treatment. Blue dots on the back of each aligner fade after being worn fully for two weeks. Invisalign Teen also comes with six replacement aligners at no cost to you. If your child loses or damages one, they can continue their treatment with ease.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign Teen?

Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of Invisalign Teen: 

• Self-confidence: Invisalign is discreet and less noticeable than traditional braces, giving your child greater confidence throughout treatment. 
• Oral health: These plastic aligners allow your teen to remove them when they need to eat, brush or floss their teeth, leading to improved oral health. 
• Comfort: Invisalign offers a more comfortable treatment process, with minimal soreness or discomfort.
