Invisalign Teen Braces Overview
We understand that for many teens, a crooked smile is a major source of insecurity. Invisalign for teens provides a discreet treatment option, which can help them feel more confident in social situations and yearbook photos. Invisalign Teen also helps address a wide range of teeth misalignment problems.
Invisalign trays are removable, so patients can continue to enjoy the foods they love. Unlike traditional braces, which trap food and can be damaged by chewy, sticky or hard items like popcorn, taffy, licorice, caramel and pizza crust, Invisalign trays can easily be removed before meals. This makes it easier for teens to eat with friends without worrying about damaging their appliances, and allows them to snack at school or during class without having to think twice about what they can and cannot eat.

The trays can also be removed for oral hygiene. This allows kids to brush and floss regularly, with less risk of food stuck in brackets or wires. Regular oral care can also help reduce the risk of cavities and gum issues during treatment. Invisalign Teen trays also feature compliance indicators that fade with use, making it easy for parents and teens to keep track of how often the aligners are being worn.
Invisalign is a fast and effective way to straighten teeth, helping teens improve their confidence. But it is important to remember that treatment success depends on a commitment to wearing the trays as instructed. If a patient is prone to forgetting to wear the trays, it could lead to an extended treatment time or worsened results.
