Invisalign For Teens

Most people are familiar with Invisalign by now. Since receiving FDA clearance in 1998, it has dominated the clear aligner market and revolutionized orthodontic treatment.

Originally, Invisalign was primarily reserved for adult patients requiring minimal tooth movement for cosmetic enhancement. But technological breakthroughs over the past twenty years have transformed its capabilities, allowing skilled orthodontists like Dr. Kim and Dr. Yamada to successfully treat complex cases across all age groups.

Your teenager’s Invisalign journey involves wearing a carefully planned sequence of custom aligners, each one precisely engineered to shift specific teeth toward their final positions. This gradual process unfolds over months, systematically guiding your teen’s smile toward perfect alignment. Invisalign Teen builds upon the proven foundation of the original system while incorporating teenager-specific enhancements.

Teenagers choose Invisalign because it seamlessly integrates with their active lifestyles while delivering exceptional orthodontic results. The crystal-clear aligners remain virtually undetectable during wear. Invisalign empowers teens to:

• Enjoy their favorite foods without dietary restrictions
• Maintain their regular oral hygiene routine effortlessly
• Participate confidently in athletics and music without worry about orthodontic emergencies

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign represents a treatment approach that employs transparent, customized plastic aligners to straighten your teeth and develop a stunning smile. These aligners are nearly invisible, conveniently removable, and crafted using 3D scanning technology to ensure a precise, comfortable fit.

Your initial aligner set closely matches your teeth’s current positioning, while the final set will result in a beautifully aligned smile. Each aligner set requires wearing for a minimum of 20-22 hours daily, and you’ll transition to the subsequent set every 1-2 weeks, based on Dr. Kim and Dr. Yamada’s guidance. As you switch each aligner for the next in the series, your teeth will shift—gradually, incrementally, week by week, until they reach their ideal positions. For best outcomes, remove your aligners only when eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth. Each time you brush, gently clean your aligners as well to maintain superior oral hygiene and prevent accumulation.

Invisalign serves as an outstanding treatment option compared to braces for patients across all age groups due to its proven and verified success.

The aligners are engineered to provide a more convenient treatment journey and offer numerous advantages, including:

• Reduced Clinic Appointments – By switching aligners at home, you’ll only need brief clinic visits every few weeks to confirm proper progress.
• Simplified Oral Care – Removing aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing allows your oral hygiene routine to remain largely unchanged. Simply remember to brush after meals before reinserting the aligners!
• Highly Discreet – Many people choose Invisalign specifically because it’s so subtle, it’s virtually undetectable! You can maintain confidence in your smile throughout treatment just as you will afterward.
• Proven & Efficient – Invisalign not only works effectively for addressing various orthodontic concerns, but research shows it delivers remarkable results in reduced timeframes! During your initial consultation, we can estimate your treatment duration and display a preview of your future smile.
