Invisalign Teen™ at All-Star Family Orthodontics

At an age when image is so important, the thought of having metal brackets and wires constantly attached to teeth may intensify the already delicate confidence of today's teens. Today, the team at All-Star Family Orthodontics thought we'd remind you about Invisalign Teen™, the clear alternative to traditional braces.

So how does Invisalign Teen work, you ask? Much in the same fashion as Invisalign, but with a few added characteristics tailored specifically to teenagers’ lifestyles. For instance, Invisalign Teen is designed with “compliance indicators” that fade from dark to light during the two week period that particular tray is used and once it has faded teens know to change trays. Each aligner comes with up to six free individual replacement aligners in case the original aligner ends up lost or broken. Another big benefit for the patient!

Dr. Vives is a Certified Invisalign Teen Provider. The treatment period for Invisalign Teen varies from nine to 18 months. If your teen is considering orthodontic treatment, please give us a call and we’ll answer any questions you may have about Invisalign Teen.

Have a great week!
