Invisalign Teen – What Parents Should Know

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - May 6, 2015 - PRLog -- Vancouver, British Columbia – Does your teen want straight teeth, but you aren’t sure what the difference is between all the options available today? Invisalign Teen offers wonderful benefits for your teenager’s busy lifestyle.

Invisalign Teen offers a way for your teen to straighten his or her teeth discretely. We all know the teen years can be hard, and if your child already has a less than perfect smile, he or she may be self-conscious. Metal braces can just draw more attention to something they’re already embarrassed by. With Invisalign, your child’s teeth will be straightened through the use of a series of clear, virtually invisible aligners.

Each set of custom-created aligners will be worn by your teenager for two weeks before moving to the next set. The aligner uses a gentle force to guide the teeth into their proper locations. When treated by a certified Invisalign provider, it is as effective as traditional braces for treating a host of orthodontic issues.

With traditional braces, there can be a host of issues that may annoy your teen, or that can even cause damage to their braces. The metal wires and brackets can get in the way, and if your child plays contact sports, you may be worried about what damage could be done if your child is hit in the mouth. That’s no longer a concern with Invisalign’s smooth plastic aligners. Your child can play wind instruments properly without the brackets getting in the way, and you don’t have to worry about the injury that could occur if your child gets hit in the mouth while playing sports.

One thing your teen will love about Invisalign is that they are removable. That means there’s no altering their diet to eliminate the hard, crunchy or sticky foods that can damage traditional braces. This also makes the teeth easier to care for, because there are no brackets or wires to brush and floss around.

Another advantage is that your child won’t need to spend as much time at the orthodontist’s office with Invisalign. Their orthodontic treatment won’t require adjustments or repair for broken wires or loose brackets. Follow-up appointments are typically every four to six weeks.

Invisalign Teen(http://www.vancouverorthodontics.com/invisalign-teen.html) is most effective when worn the prescribed 20-22 hours a day. Treatment time with Invisalign is similar to that of traditional braces(http://www.vancouverorthodontics.com/traditional-metal-br...), but exact treatment time will depend on the severity of your child’s orthodontic issue and whether he or she follows the orthodontist’s recommendations.
