TEENS’ ORTHODONTICS OPTIONS
Many of our patients opt for Invisalign Teen treatments – and with good reason.
Invisalign Teen allows patients to straighten their teeth – but without metal wires and brackets. That leaves teen patients free to better enjoy their teenage years.
HERE ARE SOME OTHER BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN TEEN:
- Eating with more freedom: Many teens with traditional braces cannot chew gum or eat some of their favorite snack – from popcorn at the movies to healthy favorites such as apples. But with Invisalign Teen, teens can remove aligners, allowing them to eat all of their food favorites whenever they want to. Invisalign Teen also promotes easier brushing and flossing, just like teens without braces. Proper brushing and flossing can be a challenge with traditional braces.
- Keep Playing: Whether your teenager takes part in athletics or enjoys playing a musical instrument, metal braces can sometimes prevent or limit them from taking part in activities they love. That’s not the case with Invisalign Teen. Play away!
- Benefits of Straight Teeth: The benefits of having teeth that are properly aligned are many – and go far beyond just having an attractive smile. The American Dental Association reports that straightening teeth can significantly improve your dental health – and your overall health. Invisalign Teen reduces the risk of tooth decay and gum disease – conditions we all want to avoid.
- Healthy Teeth and Gums: Teeth that are crowded or spaced too widely can lead to swelling and discomfort, even bleeding. These also can signal the presence of periodontal disease. But when teeth align correctly, it aids in the gums fitting more securely around teeth. That promotes a strong defense against periodontal disease. Invisalign Teen’s clear and comfortable aligners move teeth into the right position, gradually and without pain. And without wires and brackets!
- Cleaner Teeth: One of the toughest parts of wearing traditional braces is getting rid of food trapped in wires and brackets. This build-up can cause plaque and lead to tooth decay and cavities. Invisalign aligners can be taken out, making brushing and flossing easier – and not a chore.
- Most people don’t associate healthy teeth and gums with their overall health. Cavities and gum problems are often caused by bacteria. If untreated, these problems can lead to painful sores, bad breath, and the loss of teeth. Even worse, oral infections can lead to heart disease, strokes, diabetes and pneumonia. Invisalign Teen effectively helps fight off these potential problems and protects your overall health.
