Like Invisalign, Invisalign Teen uses a series of removable, clear plastic aligners to straighten a teen’s smile millimeter by millimeter, week by week. The system can be used to treat crooked teeth, crowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, overbites, crossbites, and underbites.
Invisalign Teen aligners are shaped to allow permanent teeth to grow in with ease. Designed to fit a teen’s busy schedule and active lifestyle, free replacement aligners are offered if they are lost or misplaced. Most important to teens, the aligners are easily removable for special occasions like prom, senior portraits, and graduation.
Advantages of Invisalign include:
- Virtually Invisible – Only you will know you’re wearing braces.
- Completely Removable – Eat, drink, brush and floss, or take them out for special occasions.
- Faster Treatment Time – No metal brackets or wires to adjust means less time visiting the orthodontist.
- Proven Results – Over 1 million patients have used Invisalign worldwide.
Another benefit? Since Invisalign straightens your teeth with a series of easily wearable aligners, you will require less visits to our office.
Invisalign® FAQs
How much does Invisalign cost?
Invisalign is generally slightly more expensive than traditional braces, but the exact cost depends on the complexity of a patient’s case. We do not let finances stand in the way of you getting a beautiful smile. We offer a number of payment plans to make treatment affordable.
Does Invisalign really work?
Yes. In both clinical research and orthodontic practices nationwide, Invisalign has been proven effective at straightening teeth.
Does insurance cover Invisalign?
If a patient has orthodontic coverage, Invisalign should be covered just like traditional braces. Medical benefits differ from policy to policy, however, so patients should review their coverage.
What are the aligners made of?
Aligners are made of clear, strong medical grade plastic that is virtually invisible when worn.
What do aligners look like?
Aligners look similar to clear tooth-whitening trays, but are custom-made for a better fit to move teeth. Some orthodontists and dentists refer to them as “contact lenses for teeth.”
How does Invisalign effectively move teeth?
Invisalign aligners move teeth through the appropriate placement of controlled force on the teeth. At each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move, and these movements are determined by the orthodontic treatment plan.
