You shouldn’t have to be an adult to enjoy the teeth-straightening benefits of Invisalign. With Invisalign Teen, adolescents can achieve a more beautiful, confident smile without having to crowd their mouths with metal wires and brackets. Using Invisalign Teen’s clear and custom-made aligners, your teenage memories can be captured with confidence while you work toward a straighter smile.
Everything You Need to Know
Invisalign Teen is a clear, more comfortable, and cosmetically appealing way to straighten teeth. Instead of relying on metal brackets and wires like braces, this teeth-straightening system utilizes a series of clear, removable aligners that have been custom-made for your smile.
What Conditions Does Invisalign Teen Treat?
With its advanced technology, Invisalign Teen can treat a broad range of dental and orthodontic conditions, such as:
- Overly crowded teeth
- Widely spaced teeth
- Crossbite
- Overbite
- Underbite
The Treatment Process:
- You will consistently wear each set of aligners for 2 - 3 weeks
- Your teeth will move gradually each week
- The total treatment time will average between 6 - 24 months.
- And the number of Invisalign Teen aligners you’ll use can range from 10 - 50
The Perks of Invisalign Teen
- Invisalign Teen’s transparent aligners are virtually invisible, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone being the wiser
- Invisalign Teen aligners are removable, which means you can still eat and drink whatever you want (unlike with braces), brush and floss normally, and take your aligners out for special occasions
- There are no wires, metal materials, or brackets to cause mouth abrasions and discomfort
Key Differences Between Invisalign & Invisalign Teen
In order to ensure that all patients receive the best orthodontic treatment possible, the Invisalign corporation went to leading orthodontists, parents, and teens themselves to custom-design an Invisalign system that is just right for the dental needs of teenagers. Thus, Invisalign Teen was created to include:
- A Blue Dot Wear Indicator to show how long each aligner has been worn
- Six free replacement aligners in case some are broken or lost
- Other changes designed to accommodate growing mouths
