It’s fairly common for teens to be concerned about how braces may affect their appearance. With Invisalign Teen, you can get the affects of braces without the appearance. The teenage years are one of the most effective times for orthodontic treatment. There are options to help your teens straighten their teeth, without subjecting them to a significant change in appearance.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign Teen aligners are clear, removable, comfortable, and customized for your mouth. You won’t have to eliminate certain kinds of foods from your diet. Whether you are eating popcorn or caramel, the removable aspect of these aligners will allow you to eat whatever your heart desires. Additionally, this can make it safer to play sports, because Invisalign aligners won’t cause damage to the inside of your mouth.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses a series of aligners to straighten your teeth. Each aligner is worn for one to two weeks. They should be removed only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Each additional aligner will move the teeth a little bit at a time until the straightening process is complete. The patient typically has to visit our office every six weeks. This will ensure that treatment continues to be effective and the orthodontist can continually monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed. Treatment time varies between individuals, but on average, treatment lasts nine to fifteen months. Regular visits will help you complete your treatment process in as little time as possible.
Benefits of Invisalign
Teenagers can have a significant amount of stress in their life. They’re trying to figure out how to complete their homework, school activities, social events, and more into their already busy schedules. Obtaining braces can cause even more unnecessary stress, especially when it is time for yearbook pictures. Fortunately, with Invisalign Teen treatment, you won’t have to change your lifestyle.
