Many teens need orthodontic treatment to achieve their best smile and oral health. Wearing braces has been a right of passage for many decades, but it is not necessary for many teenagers. Invisalign for teens offers a more comfortable option for straightening teeth. At Neville Dental Studio, we provide Invisalign treatment for teens at our dental centers in Scottsville, Bowling Green and Horse Cave, KY.
Braces are effective orthodontic devices that can slowly shift teeth into alignment. However, anyone who has worn braces knows that it is not an enjoyable experience. The brackets are attached to the front of the teeth, which is very noticeable. Wires connect the brackets and are tightened to put pressure on the teeth to shift them into place. Braces can poke and rub against the soft tissues in the mouth, and they are very noticeable when you speak or smile.
Invisalign Teen is designed to give teenagers the orthodontic treatment they need without the discomfort of braces. We use our 3D iTero technology to design a treatment plan with clear aligners that are customized for each patient. Teens wearing Invisalign aligners can enjoy the benefits of avoiding braces while still straightening their smiles.
Advantages of Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen can shift teeth into place using customized clear aligners designed by 3D imaging and advanced digital technology. Teens will receive a new set of aligners every few weeks that bring them closer and closer to their ideal alignment over several months or longer. Some of the advantages of Invisalign over braces include:
- Almost invisible aligners
- No food restrictions – aligners can be removed to eat
- No rubbing or poking from brackets or wires
- Easier to keep teeth brushed and flossed
Invisalign can be used to close gaps or straighten crooked teeth, just like braces. Most treatments are comparable in length to braces, but without the discomfort or “metal mouth” appearance.
If you have a teenager that needs orthodontic treatment but does not want to wear braces, come see us at Neville Dental Studio. We have Invisalign for teens at our dental centers in Scottsville, Horse Cave and Bowling Green, KY. Call the clinic near you to schedule an Invisalign consultation for your teen.
