Your Teen Will Love Invisalign®
If your teen is concerned about their appearance and doesn’t want to look different than their friends, Invisalign can be a great option for straightening teeth.
Invisalign created a system that meets the unique needs of teens. Invisalign for Teens can be a great clear option for teens shying away from traditional metal braces.
Almost Invisible
The Invisalign for Teens aligners are made of clear plastic and almost invisible. Instead of hiding behind a mouth full of metal, they'll enjoy the confidence of showing that smile every day. Your teen's friends probably won’t even know they're wearing them.
Your teen probably has friends with braces who aren’t allowed to chew gum or eat their favorite foods like popcorn and whole apples. Invisalign Teen aligners are completely removable so your teen can eat all of their favorite foods whenever they want.
This also means your teen can easily keep brushing and flossing as they normally would for proper oral hygiene. Try that with braces.
Whether your child plays sports or a musical instrument, a mouth full of metal can hold them back from enjoying the things they want to. It’s hard to perform at your best knowing you could get hit in the mouth with a ball, or cut your lip trying to hit that note on the trumpet.
Invisalign for Teens helps your child focus on doing what they do best—being a teen.
Great for Active Teens
Invisalign for Teens effectively straightens teeth the same way metal braces do. It’s an ideal choice for teens who play sports or play certain types of instruments.
Or maybe they just love crunchy foods or are worried about how metal braces will look at homecoming or in the yearbook.
Whatever the reason for choosing Invisalign for Teens, teenagers should be able to participate in the activities they’re interested in while still having the confidence to attend social events and make lasting memories.
You should also be able to get efficient orthodontic treatment for crowded teeth, uneven spacing, and bite issues. Teens can keep being themselves and love their smiles even more with the clear, comfortable technology of Invisalign.
Benefits of Invisalign for Teens
Perfect for Busy Schedules
Invisalign for Teens doesn’t just benefit your child. It’s great for busy parents because there aren’t any emergency appointments for broken wires or brackets.
Compared to traditional braces, Invisalign often requires fewer appointments because you get your aligners in advance, and each visit is shorter.
The typical Invisalign for Teens patient is seen once every 8 weeks for a total average treatment time of 9 to 15 months.
Doesn't Cost More than Traditional Braces
Your smile is unique to you. Many factors determine the cost of Invisalign treatment. In most cases, Invisalign is a similar price as traditional braces, and the treatment is covered by more dental insurance plans.
Financing options are also available to make Invisalign more affordable for your family.
Responsibilities of Invisalign
For the aligners to do their job, it’s important to wear them for at least 22 hours every day. Like with traditional braces, you will generally need to wear a retainer after Invisalign treatment to maintain your new alignment—and your confident new smile.
