Clear aligners with Invisalign® are an excellent option for busy teens who would like to straighten their teeth without wearing braces.
Invisalign aligners are removable, making brushing, flossing, and eating meals simple. Kids will wear their aligners for two to three weeks, and then move on to the next set in the series. Clear aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day to achieve the best results.
With excellent compliance in wearing their aligners, most teens will finish their treatment in about 10 to 24 months, depending on their needs.
What Are the Advantages of Invisalign?
Here are some of the benefits of Invisalign that many teens love:
- Discretion — Since aligners are clear, no one notices their orthodontic treatment.
- Comfort — Clear aligners are smooth and more comfortable to wear than braces.
- Ease — Home care is simple and efficient with removable aligners instead of having to navigate around brackets and wires.
- Freedom — There are dietary restrictions with clear aligners since they're removable. Your teen can enjoy all the foods they love throughout their Invisalign treatment.
