Our
Anchorage orthodontist, Dr.
Johnson, and his friendly team
strive to provide children, teens and adults with a variety of treatment
options. We proudly offer everything from traditional metal braces to clear
ceramic braces and even Invisalign.
Invisalign
Teen is one of our most popular treatment options for teenagers. Using a series
of transparent, removable and custom-made aligners, Invisalign Teen straightens
your teen's teeth without the hassle, discomfort and embarrassment of regular
braces. Invisalign clear aligners help our younger patients achieve straight,
beautiful smiles without anyone knowing! Continue reading to learn more about
the benefits of Invisalign for your teen!
A
Clear Advantage
Most teens
aren’t too wild about having to wear metal braces due to the indiscretion of
wires and brackets that may also poke and irritate the inside of their mouths. With
Invisalign Teen, your teen will not have to deal with any pain and hassle of
wires and brackets. The aligners are made of a smooth, clear plastic material,
making this solution very comfortable. Because the aligners can be taken out when
eating, your teen can enjoy any favorite food, including popcorn, pizza crust,
bagels and corn on the cob. With regular braces, eating these foods is not
possible because the hardness, stickiness, crunchiness and gooeyness of the foods
can easily damage and break the wires and brackets.
Invisalign
Teen Makes Maintaining Oral Hygiene Easier Than Ever
Maintaining
good oral hygiene is never an issue with Invisalign Teen because the aligners can
be easily taken out when it is time for brushing and flossing. Teens no longer
have to deal with the wires and food stuck in brackets, and parents no longer
have to worry about their teen not keeping up with an oral hygiene regimen
anymore. It’s a win-win situation!
Customized
And Personalized To Fit Your Teen’s Life
Another
feature we love about Invisalign Teen is the fact that the aligners come with
small, blue dot wear indicators. These discreet dots fade from blue to clear as
the aligners are worn, ensuring that the aligners are being worn as often as directed.
Moreover, the blue dot helps your busy teen remember how long each aligner has
been worn!
Easy
Replacements for Lost or Broken Aligners
Everyone
knows that teenagers lead very active lifestyles and that sometimes they
misplace things, including their retainers or aligners. But with Invisalign
Teen, if your teen happens to lose or even break an aligner, it's not a problem
at all! Each Invisalign Teen system comes with six extra aligners in the case
of an accident.
Self-Esteem
and Confidence
For many teens,
looking and feeling their best is very important. And we agree! At an age where
image is important, the thought of sharing the spotlight with brackets and
wires can shake the confidence of anyone. With Invisalign Teen, there is no
need to feel self-conscious, as the clear aligners are nearly invisible, providing
teens with self-esteem from the beginning of their treatment to the day when
their aligners are no longer needed!
