Invisalign for Teens

Less Detectable Than Regular Braces

One of the most significant highlights of Invisalign Teen is that they are almost invisible, which makes them far less detectable and easy to carry. No teenager wants to roam around with a mouthful of braces, which is why Invisalign Teen is the preferred choice. With clear aligners, teens feel far more confident and don’t shy away from socializing. 

Shorter Dental Appointments Save Time

Invisalign Teen is far less complex and low-maintenance than metal braces. All you have to do is wear the aligners for 20-22 hours. Also, unlike braces, Invisalign does not require any adjustments. With Invisalign, the standard practice is to visit the dentist every six to eight weeks for a quick check-up. These dental appointments are short, to the point, and do not require dental work, saving you precious time. 

They are Damage Proof

Metal braces are made of multiple tiny parts, such as brackets and wires. Sometimes these parts get damaged when chewing hard food or in case of a dental injury. Patients must rush to dentists in cases of loose brackets or broken wires. Invisalign is damage-proof because it is made of flexible plastic and does not comprise tiny pieces. Hence with Invisalign, your teen will be saved from emergency trips to the dentist’s office. 

Dental Hygiene is Easy to Maintain

With braces, metal wires and brackets get in the way, making brushing and flossing daunting. Teenagers are careless about dental hygiene, and since braces make brushing and flossing quite challenging, teenagers prefer to skip the routine altogether.

With Invisalign, teenagers can remove the aligners when it is time to clean their teeth. Since Invisalign makes it easy to maintain dental hygiene, the daily brushing and flossing routine is not disturbed. 

Offer A Painless Experience

Teenagers have a low pain threshold and have little patience for anything uncomfortable. In this regard, Invisalign is the best option because they are painless to wear. Metal braces are anchored on each tooth which can be moderately uncomfortable. In addition, braces present multiple safety hazards, such as broken wires causing cuts on the cheek and tongue. With Invisalign, you don’t have to worry about such incidents.  

Eat Whatever You Want, Whenever You Want

Teenagers are picky eaters, and with metal braces, they must follow dietary restrictions, such as avoiding hard and crunchy foods. With Invisalign, your teen won’t have to deprive himself of his favorite food. Removing the aligners allows them to eat any food without worrying about damaging them.  

Aligners Allow You The Freedom To Enjoy Your Favorite Sports

Playing high-paced sports or a wind instrument with metal braces is unsafe. Getting hit by a ball or tripping over accidentally can result in broken wires. Sharp-edged wires can cause injuries inside the mouth. Because Invisalign is removable, they don’t get in the way of enjoying one’s favorite hobby. Hence, your teen does not have to make significant lifestyle changes with Invisalign.
