Can Invisalign Help Teenagers?

People often undergo orthodontic work in their teen years. Your teenager may be less than thrilled by this news, as they can picture themselves with uncomfortable, conspicuous braces that they have to wear for the next several years. Through the use of alternative appliances, it is possible to avoid metal braces and instead rely on discreet and easily removed aligners. At our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office, we can provide support through Invisalign treatment. With these appliances, it becomes easier to commit to a treatment. Your teenager can feel relief upon learning that this is a treatment option available to them. You can appreciate that this approach requires fewer checkups and no manual adjustments, and that pictures you take of them at this time will be free of distracting braces.

Starting Invisalign Treatment For Your Teen

Malocclusion is one of the developmental issues that dentists watch for when they evaluate growing smiles. A timely warning can lead to timely treatment that closes any gaps or straightens any awkward overlaps that affect their appearance and oral health. When you look into Invisalign for their treatment option, you can find that they are more receptive to care. You can also discover how these appliances make the overall teeth straightening process easier.

Planning Personalized Treatment With Custom Aligners

Every patient’s treatment with clear aligners is carefully planned, which is how we are able to provide individualized appliances. We take detailed digital images of teeth and oral structures so that we can ensure aligners are the right size, and to determine how your corrective work should proceed. Each Invisalign aligner represents a step in overall treatment. It is important that your teen wear them throughout the day to stay on track with their completed adjustment. Because they are difficult to see, it can be easier for them to comfortably and confidently wear them at school, work, or social situations.

Benefits Of Having Straighter Teeth

By addressing an individual’s issues with malocclusion, we can address several concerns. On top of making welcome changes to their smile, corrective care will help them maintain a bite motion that is natural and comfortable. Problems with an uneven bite can lead to the overuse of certain teeth, as well as to problems with TMJ pain. Straighter teeth can also make smile care easier, as areas that were previously hard to reach will become easier to clean.
