Invisalign for Teens: Boosting Confidence and Inspiring Truly Happy Smiles

November 10, 2014 By ParkAvenueDental

invisalign teen
Like the Invisalign process for adults, Invisalign Teen offers many benefits specific to children’s orthodontics and teenagers’ dental needs. Invisalign Teen – again, like the adult cosmetic dentistry approach – remains the virtually invisible way to straighten teens’ teeth without the restrictions associated with braces for teens. Devoid of brackets and wires, Invisalign utilizes a series of clear, removable aligners custom-designed for your teen’s teeth and mouth. Your teen simply wears them over their own teeth, changing them out for a new set of aligners every two weeks. Slowly, you will notice that your teenager’s teeth are gradually shifting into place, ultimately achieving that confident smile for beaming pictures during prom, Sweet Sixteen parties and more.

Invisalign vs. Braces: The Teenager Factor

When considering Invisalign vs. braces, Invisalign Teen can be just as effective as traditional braces for the most common teeth-straightening issues, when worn according to the recommendations of an experienced Invisalign-trained orthodontist like Dr. Michael Sherman of Park Avenue Dental. Because symptoms such as underbite, overbite, overcrowding and gaps between teeth are somewhat common amongst the teen demographic, chances are your teen will be an ideal candidate for Invisalign.

Some of the practical advantages of Invisalign for Teens over Braces include:

• No metal wires and brackets
• Removable aligners so teens can play sports without worry of being hit in the mouth by a ball
• Teens can continue playing musical instruments properly without braces getting in the way
• No food restrictions so teens can eat such normally mouth-inflaming items such as popcorn, apples and raw carrots
• Removable aligners make it simple to brush and floss normally to maintain proper oral hygiene

The Invisalign for Teens Value

Invisalign Teen, on average, costs approximately the same as traditional braces, but costs for orthodontic treatment can vary according to geography and complexity of the treatment. Dr. Michael Sherman and Park Avenue Dental of Orange Park can go over all costs associated with Invisalign for teens including insurance plan protocols and any possible flexible and affordable monthly payment plans.

The Final In’s and Out’s of Invisalign for Teens

This system is most effective when worn 20 to 22 hours per day and changed every two weeks. As such, clinical study data has shown that most teens wear their aligners on average for just under 21 hours per day, exactly as recommended. Additionally, Invisalign Teen boasts a built-in assurance check which includes blue-colored indicators that fade over time when used as directed, so an orthodontist can track compliance.

Keeping in mind that many teens have a tendency to lose much of their personal belongings from time to time, Invisalign Teen even comes with six replacement aligners free of charge. In the event an aligner is lost, an orthodontist’s office should be notified. Perhaps best of all, Invisalign Teen requires less time in the orthodontist office than traditional braces do. With no adjustments to make and no broken wires to fix, there’s merely follow-up appointments scheduled every four to six weeks on average.
