What Is Invisalign Teen?

Invisalign Teen is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. Made from BPA-free plastic, these virtually invisible aligners are custom-designed to fit your teen’s teeth comfortably. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign Teen aligners are removable, making it easier to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions.

Why Choose Invisalign Teen Over Traditional Braces?

For many parents and teens, Invisalign Teen is an attractive option for orthodontic treatment. Here’s why:

Benefits of Invisalign Teen

• Discreet & Comfortable: The clear aligners are nearly invisible, helping teens feel confident during treatment.
• Removable: With removable aligners, teens can enjoy their favorite foods without food restrictions and maintain good oral hygiene with ease.
• Shorter Treatment Time: In many cases, Invisalign Teen can achieve results faster than traditional braces.
• No Metal Brackets or Wires: Say goodbye to discomfort and irritation caused by metal braces, as Invisalign trays offer a smooth, comfortable fit without the hassle of traditional brackets and wires.

Considerations

There are some considerations about Invisalign Teen aligners:

• Commitment Required: Aligners must be worn for at least 22 hours daily for optimal results.
• Not for All Cases: Severe orthodontic issues may require traditional braces or other treatments.

How Does Invisalign Teen Work?

The Invisalign Teen process is simple and tailored to your teen’s unique needs:

1. Initial Consultation: During your visit to our Bethesda office, we’ll evaluate your teen’s teeth and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment option.
2. Custom Treatment Plan: Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we’ll map out a step-by-step plan to straighten your teen’s teeth, showing the expected results before treatment begins.
3. Wear and Care: Your teen will wear custom-fit aligners for 20-22 hours daily, switching to a new set every one to two weeks as their teeth gradually shift into place.
4. Regular Check-Ups: We’ll monitor progress with visits every four to six weeks to ensure the treatment stays on track.

What Can Invisalign Teen Correct?

Invisalign Teen is effective for treating a variety of orthodontic issues, including:

• Tooth Crowding: Gently aligns teeth when there’s insufficient space in the jaw.
• Gaps Between Teeth: Closes spaces caused by missing teeth or jaw structure.
• Overbite & Underbite: Corrects misaligned bites for a healthier, more balanced smile.
• Crossbite & Open Bite: Addresses issues where upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly.

Caring for Invisalign Teen Aligners

Proper Invisalign care ensures the success of your teen’s treatment and maintains good oral hygiene:

• Clean Daily: Rinse Invisalign aligners with lukewarm water and brush them gently with clear soap. Avoid hot water, which can warp the aligners.
• Store Safely: Use the provided case to protect aligners when not in use.
• Follow Instructions: Change aligners as directed and attend all scheduled check-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can teens play sports with Invisalign?

Yes! Invisalign Teen aligners are designed for active lifestyles. However, we recommend wearing a mouthguard during contact sports to protect both the aligners and teeth.

Can my teen switch from braces to Invisalign?

In many cases, yes. Our Bethesda team can evaluate your teen’s progress and determine if switching to Invisalign Teen is a viable option.

Is Invisalign Teen more expensive than traditional metal braces?

The cost of Invisalign Teen is comparable to traditional braces, though it varies depending on the treatment plan. Many insurance plans cover Invisalign treatment, and we offer flexible payment options to make treatment affordable.
