Why Invisalign Teen?

Invisalign Teen offers all the benefits of traditional Invisalign aligners but with added features tailored specifically for teenagers.

Here’s why Invisalign Teen might be the right choice for your child:

• Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, so teens can smile confidently without the metal braces look.
• Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners are more comfortable than metal braces, which can cause irritation and discomfort.
• Removable Aligners: Teens can remove the aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy their favorite foods.
• Blue Compliance Indicators: Invisalign Teen aligners come with blue compliance indicators that fade over time when worn as directed, helping to ensure that the aligners are being worn consistently.
• Room for Growth: The aligners are designed to accommodate the continued growth of teenage mouths, making them a suitable option for growing teens.

 The Invisalign Teen Process

1. Initial Consultation: Your teen’s journey with Invisalign begins with a visit to Elgin Street Dental. During this consultation, we will evaluate their teeth and discuss their goals to determine if Invisalign Teen is the right choice.
2. Custom Treatment Plan: If Invisalign Teen is suitable, we will take digital impressions of your teen’s teeth to create a precise 3D model. This model will help us plan the exact movements of their teeth and show the expected results before treatment begins.3. Aligner Creation: Custom aligners will be made specifically for your teen’s teeth. They will receive a series of aligners, each slightly different, to gradually move their teeth into the desired position.
4. Wearing Aligners: Your teen should wear their aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. The more consistently they wear their aligners, the faster they will see results.
5. Regular Check-Ups: We will schedule check-ups every 6-8 weeks to ensure that the treatment is progressing as planned and to provide new sets of aligners.6. Completion: Once the treatment is complete, your teen may need to wear retainers to help maintain their new smile.

Benefits of Choosing Invisalign Teen

Invisalign Teen offers several advantages that make it an attractive option for teenagers:

– Confidence: The clear aligners allow teens to smile confidently throughout their treatment.

– Convenience: Removable aligners mean fewer dietary restrictions and easier oral hygiene.

– Less Time in the Dentist’s Chair: Fewer visits are needed compared to traditional braces, allowing teens to spend more time on their activities and less time at the dentist.
