If you want to set your teenager on the right path toward a brighter and happier smile that they can feel confident with during their youthful years, consider turning to California Dental Care & Orthodontics. While we offer a variety of treatment options for patients in the Alta Loma, California, area, Invisalign Teen is among the most popular for—you guessed it—teenagers. This innovative treatment option is a great way to help improve your child’s smile in a discreet manner.
You’re surely familiar with traditional braces and you may have even had them yourself back in your teenage years. However, you might not be as familiar with Invisalign, which is a more recent innovation that has only increased in popularity since its introduction. Invisalign Teen uses clear aligner trays that are removable and virtually invisible, which means they work to straighten teeth without anyone noticing.
Plus, because these trays are removable, this type of treatment doesn’t create any need for lifestyle changes the way traditional braces might. In other words, your child won’t have to change their eating or drinking habits, nor will they have to alter their brushing and flossing habits. And because there are no wires, metal, or brackets, they won’t have to worry about mouth abrasions or using a different type of mouthpiece if they play sports.
In addition to being a discreet treatment option for patients needing to straighten their teeth, Invisalign Teen treatment can help with these specific conditions:
California Dental Care & Orthodontics’ Invisalign Teen treatment process is straightforward. It’ll start with an initial consultation, where a specialist can review your teenager’s dental history and complete an oral exam. Then, with X-rays and scanning technology, we can create a custom teeth-aligning plan that works specifically for the patient’s needs. This part of the process is also when we’ll determine how many sets of aligner trays are needed for this particular plan—as well as the duration they’ll need to be worn.
Once the Invisalign Teen treatment plan is set, we’ll order the plastic aligner trays. These must be worn 24/7, with the exception being meal times. Your teenager needs to brush and rinse both their mouth and the aligners after every meal and any time they drink anything that isn’t water. The duration of Invisalign Teen treatment plans vary from patient to patient, depending on the complexity of the case. However, most patients notice positive results within weeks. Discipline is key, as results and the timeline of treatment will be determined by how regularly the aligners are worn.
