Why Invisalign Teen®?
Invisalign Teen® is designed keeping in mind the lifestyle of teenagers. It is virtually invisible which means you may not have to feel conscious about the appliance being visible when you smile. The treatment is effective in straightening your teeth and the best part is that the system does not intervene in your life. Since the aligners can be removed, it gives you the freedom to eat your favorite food, play your favorite game and play your favorite musical instrument without being conscious about an accidental injury that can hurt your lips and cheeks.
Who can get Invisalign Teen®?
Any teenager who has got his/her permanent teeth or they are in the stage of erupting can get Invisalign Teen®. Our dentist takes impressions, X-rays, and photographs to let you know how your teeth can be straightened using the virtually invisible aligners.
The Invisalign Teen® treatment process involves three phases which are the initial consultation, the treatment, and aftercare. During the initial consultation, our dentist thoroughly evaluates the position of the teeth and lets patients know how they can be straightened. A 3D digital model of the dentition is created and our dentist maps the movement of teeth. A preview of the expected result is shown to the patient. A series of aligners are custom-made in the lab. Each pair of aligners should be worn for about 2 weeks. The patients may be asked to visit our office once in 6 weeks to see how the treatment is progressing. On completion of the treatment, retainers are provided to ensure that the teeth do not move back to old positions.
