What is it?
New Invisalign Teen straightens your teen's teeth with a series of custom-made clear aligners, rather than using traditional metal bands, brackets, and wires, which are obvious and sometimes painful. The aligners are comfortable, practically invisible, and also removable. Invisalign Teen was developed with leading orthodontists. And it works – one million patients worldwide have made Invisalign their clear choice. It's also FDA-cleared.
What it Treats?
By using its advanced technology, the Invisalign Teen system can treat a broad range of dental a
nd orthodontic conditions, which, in the past, were usually treated with traditional braces:
- Overly crowded teeth
- Widely spaced teeth
- Crossbite
- Overbite
- Underbite
It's good to know that the Invisalign Teen system can treat all of those issues. Of course, you'll want to discuss your teen's specific orthodontic issues with a professional. Please be sure to contact a designated Invisalign Teen provider. That name indicates you're dealing with a professional who has been trained on Invisalign Teen tools and technology. To become designated, dentists and orthodontists have to demonstrate a certain level of experience working on actual teen cases.
Your Invisalign Teen provider will create a customized plan to ensure your teen gets a brand-new smile.
Invisalign Teen was designed with the needs of your teen in mind. Here's why Invisalign Teen is so unique.
It's important to make sure your teen is following his or her treatment. The Blue Dot Wear Indicator provides an approximate gauge of wear. The dot is designed to fade to clear over a two-week period, if your teen wears his or her aligners properly. She or he has to wear the aligners for about 20 to 22 hours everyday, except to eat and clean his or her teeth, or to play sports or go to a special event. The fact that teens can floss and brush normally is one of the reasons why parents ask for Invisalign Teen by name. There are many other benefits that you'll want to read about too.
