About Invisalign teens
Technique
- Orthodontic Evaluation: The process begins with a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation to determine if Invisalign Teen is the right treatment for the teenager’s specific needs.
- Customized Treatment Plan: Once Invisalign Teen is selected, the orthodontist creates a personalized treatment plan. This plan includes a series of aligners designed to gradually move the teeth.
- Digital Impressions: Digital scans or impressions of the teenager’s teeth are taken to create a 3D model of the mouth. This model guides the design of the aligners.
- Aligner Progression: Teens wear each set of aligners for a specified period (typically one to two weeks) before progressing to the next set. The orthodontist monitors the progress and provides new sets of aligners.
- Maintenance of Oral Hygiene: Teens need to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. They should also clean the aligners to prevent the buildup of bacteria.
- Compliance: Successful treatment with Invisalign Teen relies on wearing the aligners as directed by the orthodontist, usually 20 to 22 hours per day.
Benefits
- Aesthetic Appeal: Invisalign Teen aligners are virtually invisible, allowing teenagers to straighten their teeth discreetly. This can boost their confidence during the treatment process.
- Comfort: Invisalign Teen aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic, reducing the risk of irritation to the cheeks, lips, and tongue.
- Removability: The aligners are removable, making it easy to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy meals without dietary restrictions.
- Less Impact on Lifestyle: Teens can continue to play musical instruments, engage in sports, and participate in social activities without the interference of traditional braces.
- Fewer Office Visits: Invisalign Teen often requires fewer in-office visits compared to traditional braces, making it convenient for busy teenagers.
- Predictable Results: Computer modeling allows for a clear prediction of the treatment’s outcome, helping teens understand what to expect.
- Treatment Compliance Indicators: Invisalign Teen aligners have built-in compliance indicators that change color to help parents and orthodontists monitor whether the aligners are being worn as recommended.
