\"happyAre you considering orthodontic treatment for your teen? While traditional bracket and wire braces are often the best option for patients at any age, convincing teens to deal with the change in their appearance, oral hygiene routines, and diet can be a struggle. Not to mention fitting all those orthodontist appointments into your schedule. It\u2019s time to talk to your dentist or orthodontist about Invisalign Teen<\/a>. This treatment option offers more flexibility, fewer office visits, and a flawless smile throughout the process.
\n<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 Easier to Keep Teeth Clean<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s face it, it\u2019s hard enough getting kids to brush and floss properly without adding physical barriers to their success like brackets and wires. Invisalign trays are removable, so your teen can simply remove them, brush, floss, and replace.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 No Changes in Diet<\/h2>\n

With bracket and wire braces, you have to worry that your teen is eating popcorn every time they go to the movies. With Invisalign, your teen can eat whatever they want, and you can stop stressing about paying to repair those damaged brackets and wires. Actually, Invisalign Teen is designed with your kids in mind, so the cost of treatment factors in several complimentary replacement aligners. If your teen tosses out their alignment tray with lunch, you\u2019ll likely be able to order a new one at no additional cost.<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 Great for Busy Schedules<\/h2>\n

Does it seem like your teen has something to do every day after school and all weekend long? Fitting frequent trips to the orthodontist into that schedule can be a hassle. With Invisalign Teen, your kids only need to visit their dentist every six to eight weeks for short checkups.<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 They Have Built-In Compliance Indicators<\/h2>\n

Many parents worry that, because they can\u2019t see the aligners, their teens will not wear them as directed. The Invisalign Teen appliances have built in compliance indicators, making it easy for you and your dentist to tell whether or not your teen is following their treatment plan. These indicators also make it simple for the dentist to adjust treatment plans and get your teen back on track.<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 Kids Keep Their Beautiful Smiles Throughout Treatment<\/h2>\n

This may be the most appealing benefit for your teen. Because the Invisalign trays are almost completely clear (especially when kids keep them clean), your teen can smile with confidence throughout treatment. In addition to looking great, the smooth, low profile aligners are the ideal for teens who compete in athletics as well as those who play wind instruments.<\/p>\n
