Why choose Invisalign Teen over traditional braces?
1. Virtually Invisible Treatment
Invisalign Teen aligners are made from a clear, SmartTrack material, making them virtually invisible. This means you can confidently flash your smile without the noticeable metal brackets and wires that come with traditional braces.
2. Comfort and Convenience
Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth. There’s no pain from tightening wires or the risk of broken brackets. Plus, they’re removable, so you can eat all your favorite foods without any food restrictions and maintain your oral hygiene routine without any added complications.
3. Customized for Teens
Invisalign Teen treatment considers the unique needs of growing teenagers. The aligners come with a blue dot wear indicator, which fades as the aligner is worn, letting you know when it’s time for a new set. And because accidents happen, Invisalign Teen offers free replacement aligners, just in case one goes missing.
4. Effective for Complex Cases
Many teens and their parents worry that Invisalign might not be suitable for complex orthodontic cases. However, with advancements in Invisalign technology and our skilled orthodontists at Orthospaceship, we can treat a wide range of cases, from simple to complex, using Invisalign Teen aligners.
Invisalign Teen treatment process
1. Free Consultation
Your journey begins with a free consultation at our Los Angeles office. Our experienced orthodontists will evaluate your teeth and discuss your treatment goals. Using advanced imaging technology, we’ll show you a digital roadmap of your treatment plan, giving you a glimpse of your future smile.
2. Custom-made Aligners
Once you decide to proceed with Invisalign Teen, we’ll take precise impressions of your teeth. These will be used to create custom-fit trays, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
3. Treatment Time
The average treatment time for Invisalign Teen is about the same, if not shorter, than traditional braces. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. Regular check-ins at our office will ensure your treatment is on track.
4. Life with Invisalign Teen
One of the best parts of Invisalign treatment is the minimal disruption to your daily life. Whether you’re on the school soccer team, play the flute in the school band, or love popcorn during movie nights, Invisalign Teen aligners won’t hold you back. Plus, with no metal to irritate your mouth, you’ll have a more comfortable orthodontic experience.
Comparing Invisalign Teen to other orthodontic options
1. Traditional Metal Braces
The most common image that comes to mind when thinking of orthodontics is traditional metal braces. While effective, they are noticeable and come with food restrictions. Brushing and flossing also require extra steps to ensure proper oral hygiene.
2. Clear Braces
Similar to metal braces but made of clear or tooth-colored ceramic. They’re less noticeable than metal braces but still come with the same food restrictions and hygiene challenges.
3. Lingual Braces
These are placed behind the teeth, making them invisible when you smile. However, they can be more challenging to adjust to and clean.
4. Invisalign Clear Aligners
The clear advantage (pun intended) is the nearly invisible appearance. They’re also removable, making eating and oral care a breeze. Invisalign Teen takes this a step further by addressing the specific needs of teenagers.
Benefits beyond aesthetics
While the virtually invisible nature of Invisalign Teen is a significant draw, the benefits go beyond aesthetics:
Improved Oral Health
Without brackets and wires, brushing and flossing are straightforward, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
Boosted Self-Esteem
- Many teens feel self-conscious about braces. Invisalign Teen allows for a more discreet treatment, boosting confidence during these formative years.
- No Activity Restrictions: Whether your child plays sports, a musical instrument, or loves to sing, Invisalign Teen won’t be a hindrance.
