Top Benefits of Invisalign for Teens

Invisalign aligners offer several benefits, making them an attractive option for teenagers needing orthodontic treatment. Here is a list of the top benefits of Invisalign for teens:

• Appearance – Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible so that teenagers can feel more confident about their smiles during treatment.
• Comfort – Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic, which is more comfortable than traditional braces. There are no brackets or wires to can poke or irritate the inside of the mouth.
• Removability – Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
• Compliance – Invisalign aligners have indicators that show if they are being worn properly, helping teenagers stay on track with their treatment plans.

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign uses a series of removable aligners that slowly shift your teeth into their ideal position. The aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable plastic material and are virtually invisible when worn. Each set of aligners gently shifts your teeth into the desired position until your treatment is complete.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

Invisalign treatment is a step-by-step process that gradually shifts your teeth into the desired position. Here are the typical steps involved in the Invisalign teen treatment process:

• Consultation and Evaluation – The process starts with a consultation with an orthodontist at one of our locations, who will create a 3D digital model of your teeth.
• Impressions – Your orthodontist will take impressions of your teeth to create a 3D image of your mouth. This will be used to create your custom treatment plan.
• Customized Treatment Plan – Your orthodontist will use the 3D image of your teeth to create a customized treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and the expected duration of treatment.
• Creation of Aligners – Based on your custom treatment plan, a series of clear, custom-made aligners will be created for you to wear.
• Wearing the Aligners – You will wear each set of aligners for roughly two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, and clean your teeth.
• Progress Check-Ups – Your orthodontist will schedule regular check-ups every six to eight weeks to monitor your progress and provide you with the next set of aligners.
• Finishing Treatment – Once your teeth have moved into their desired position, your orthodontist will provide a retainer to help maintain your new smile.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

Traditional braces consist of metal brackets and wires attached to the teeth and tightened periodically to shift the teeth into the desired position gradually. Invisalign, on the other hand, uses clear plastic aligners that are custom-made to fit over the teeth and gradually shift them into place. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable and virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for those who want a more discreet orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign FAQs

Is Invisalign painful?

While you may feel discomfort during the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners, it is generally less painful than traditional braces. Most new patients report feeling pressure or soreness that typically subsides within a few days.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The treatment length varies depending on your case’s severity.

Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?

You can eat and drink with Invisalign, but you should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Be sure to brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in.
