Invisalign for Teens: Clear, Comfortable, and Effective

Benefits of Invisalign for Teens

Nearly Invisible

Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic, making them virtually invisible. Teens can smile confidently without feeling self-conscious about wearing braces. Discover more about our orthodontic services.

Comfortable to Wear

The aligners are made from smooth plastic, which is more comfortable than metal braces. There are no wires or brackets to cause irritation in the mouth. Learn about our durable dental treatments.

Removable for Convenience

Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This means your teen can continue to enjoy their favorite foods and maintain good oral hygiene more easily than with traditional braces. Explore our financial options.

Fewer Office Visits

With Invisalign, there are typically fewer office visits compared to traditional braces. This is because there are no wires to adjust or brackets to tighten. Instead, you simply switch to a new set of aligners every two weeks. 

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Here's what you can expect during the Invisalign treatment process:

1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a comprehensive examination to determine if Invisalign is the right choice for your teen. 
2. Custom Treatment Plan: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we create a personalized treatment plan that outlines the movement of your teen's teeth throughout the course of treatment.
3. Receiving Aligners: Your teen will receive a series of custom-made aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set.
4. Regular Check-Ups: Periodic visits to our office will ensure that treatment is progressing as planned. These check-ups are less frequent than those required for traditional braces. Learn about regular adjustment visits.
5. Completion and Retention: Once treatment is complete, a retainer will be provided to help maintain the new alignment of your teen's teeth.

Caring for Invisalign Aligners

Proper care of Invisalign aligners is essential for effective treatment. Here are some tips:

• Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Encourage your teen to brush and floss regularly to keep their teeth and aligners clean
• Clean Aligners Daily: Have your teen clean their aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap, avoiding hot water which can warp the plastic.
• Avoid Certain Foods: While aligners are removable, it's important to avoid eating or drinking anything other than water while wearing them to prevent staining.
