Flexible Orthodontic Treatment for Teens
As the school year begins and you and your child begin to research methods of teeth straightening, you may come across Invisalign Teen. Similar to adult Invisalign, Teen Invisalign uses removable trays to gradually shift your teeth. There are several things you should know when choosing the right orthodontics for your child.
Convenient & Easy to Remove
Invisalign trays need to be worn for 22 hours per day in order to work properly and can be easily removed for eating, cleaning, and sports practice. Since they can be taken out, your child won’t face the dietary restrictions that come with traditional braces. Without brackets and wires to worry about, your teen can enjoy all of their favorite foods and still maintain proper brushing and flossing. Without any obstacles, they will be able to keep their mouth cleaner and avoid discoloration at the end of treatment. This added flexibility helps teens stay comfortable and confident throughout their Invisalign journey. Teen Invisalign trays have specialized indicator dots on the molars that fade as they are worn, nearly disappearing by the time your child is ready for the next set. By checking the dots, you and your dentist will be able to ensure that the aligners are being worn as directed and treatment is staying on track.
Solves Multiple Dental Issues
In addition to straightening your teeth, Invisalign can correct other orthodontic problems that would otherwise require additional dental visits. Straightening your teeth helps close gaps and relieve overcrowding as teeth gradually shift into proper alignment. As your teeth move, overbites and underbites can also be corrected. This results in a healthier bite, improved comfort, and a more confident smile without the need for traditional braces.
More Time Effective
You and your teen are busy with work, school, and extracurricular activities. It can be difficult to coordinate schedules for appointments. With Invisalign, the number of required visits is cut down since the trays can be sent to you and the treatment will not need adjustments. If you elect to go with an accelerated treatment, you will just need to schedule visits every six weeks in order to check your progress. The process to accelerate your progress can be done at home for a short period each day.
