At Vac Orthodontics, we are certified Invisalign teen providers. Invisalign is a great treatment alternative to braces for many teens. Unlike braces, you do not have to avoid certain foods or spend extra time cleaning and brushing.
Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment for teens and children that uses custom-made clear trays to straighten teeth without fixed braces. All trays are made with 3-D printing technology to the specifications indicated by Dr. Vaccariello.
You are given a series of customized trays that you wear 22 hours a day and change every 1-2 weeks or as prescribed. As you progress through the clear aligners, your teeth will continue to move with each tray until your bite and smile are perfected. You will still require regular visits every 4-8 weeks for the orthodontist to monitor your progress and make any needed adjustments.
Invisalign Teen is a great treatment option for teens who do not want visible braces. The trays are virtually invisible and removable, so you can take them out to eat and to brush and floss. As an added bonus, Invisalign offers a "Teen Guarantee": if you are not happy with your teen's Invisalign treatment in the first 6 months, you can switch to braces at no additional cost—a win/win!
Since Invisalign is removable, it greatly benefits the busy teen lifestyle. There are no food restrictions—you just remove the trays before meals. Brushing and flossing is much easier than with braces; simply remove the trays and brush and floss normally. Many teens find that Invisalign easily fits into their daily routine with no interruptions to after-school activities.
