Invisalign Invisible Braces For Teens
What is it?
The Invisalign Teen™ system straightens your teeth with a series of custom-made clear aligners, which are comfortable and practically invisible. It was developed with leading orthodontists. And it works – nearly one million patients worldwide have made Invisalign their clear choice.
The aligners…
• snap on your teeth easily.
• are comfortable and practically invisible.
• allow for your growing permanent teeth.
• gently and continuously move your teeth in small increments.
• are worn for about two weeks. Then you swap them for a new pair.
• have a Blue Dot Wear Indicator, designed to show an estimation of wear-time. The dot is designed to fade to clear over a two-week period if you wear (20 to 22 hours everyday) your aligners properly.
• can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, or going to a special event.
• are replaceable if lost. That’s right, you get up to six, free, individual replacements.
Treatable conditions
Invisalign Teen can treat a broad range of dental and orthodontic conditions, which, in the past, were usually treated with traditional braces:
• Overly crowded teeth
• Widely spaced teeth
• Crossbite
• Overbite
• Underbite
How treatment works
Overall, an average treatment takes about a year2 and is made up of these main steps:
You meet with a designated Invisalign Teen provider for a consultation about your treatment.
Your provider takes pictures and impressions of your teeth, and maps out a precise visual plan of your tooth move ments, from the beginning to the end of your treatment.
