Q: Can my younger teenager achieve straight teeth with the clear aligners -- i.e., Invisalign® -- rather than braces? Or, is Invisalign® a teeth-straightening process just for adults?
 |
| Invisalign® can be a successful orthodontic treatment alternative for adults and teens, as long as patients responsibly comply during the entire treatment process. |
A: Teenagers can often be excellent candidates for Invisalign®!
First and foremost, a teenager considering Invisalign® instead of braces needs to have a high level of dedication. Invisalign® clear trays need to be worn 22 hours per day to be effective. If a young person is not responsible and diligent with aligner wear, the entire process fails, and they end up in braces.
Also, with the many activities teenagers participate in -- such as sports, dance, band, etc. -- there are many opportunities to lose the aligners. Even during school lunch, aligners are often forgotten. But, with care and persistence, even teenagers can be successful with Invisalign®.
Stop by for a free consult to see if Invisalign® is right for you or your teen. Keep smiling.
