Invisalign Teen

Invisalign is a treatment system that uses transparent plastic straightening trays (aligners) to move your teeth. With Invisalign, you avoid the brackets, metal wires, and rubber bands needed with metal braces. Invisalign aligners are completely painless and are barely detectable when you talk and smile. Because they’re removable, they’re incredibly convenient and easy to use.

Most people prefer Invisalign aligners to traditional metal braces because the clear aligners are less noticeable and comfortable. In many cases, using Invisalign takes less time than traditional braces. You also won’t have sharp metal components poking the inside of your mouth. There are less emergency visits as broken wires and brackets are not an issue with invisalign.

It is crucial to wear Invisalign clear aligners for at least 22 hours a day to make sure you’re on track with your treatment.

Absolutely! This is one of the many reasons why most active teens love Invisalign Teen. It is removable and they can remove it before a game or when they’re about to play instruments.

Teens are made to move, which means they can lose or break their aligners more often than adults. That is why, unlike regular Invisalign, replacement aligners are available at no additional cost, with up to six free replacement aligners.

The length of your child’s orthodontic treatment will depend upon their individual case. We will discuss the proposed treatment length during the initial consultation with Dr. Perih. On average, orthodontic treatment with Invisalign lasts about 12-24 months.

In some cases, it definitely is possible to switch from traditional braces to Invisalign. However, there is typically a fee if a patient switches.
