Orthodontics at any age can be challenging, but even more so during the teen years. That’s why many parents opt for Invisalign for Teens. Invisalign simplifies the orthodontic process without compromising on beautiful results. You can obtain Invisalign treatment for your teens at Avanti Dentistry in Tysons, Virginia.
Here are some of the reasons parents prefer Invisalign over metal braces for their teens:
With Invisalign aligners, you’ll never have to deal with broken wires, loose brackets or the discomfort of food getting lodged in metal braces when you eat. Imagine the freedom to enjoy your favorite meals without any dietary restrictions! The best part? These aligners can be easily removed when it’s time to eat, letting teens indulge in all the foods they love without worry. Removable aligners work well for teens who play sports or musical instruments, as they can continue to enjoy these activities while undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign aligners are custom-made for your teens’ teeth and will fit snugly, yet comfortably in their mouth. They’re made of clear, thermoplastic material with no sharp edges or metal parts to irritate their gums or cheeks. Increased comfort makes it easier for teens to concentrate on school, work or sports without worrying about their teeth.
Appearance is of great importance to teens. Putting metal braces on your shy teens can make them even more self-conscious about their appearance. In contrast, Invisalign treatment is discreet, as the aligners are practically invisible. Invisalign won’t draw unwanted attention to your teens’ teeth, giving him the confidence to smile, laugh and continue his normal routine during his orthodontic treatment.
Traditional braces are permanently attached to your teens’ teeth for the duration of their orthodontic treatment, making oral care difficult and time-consuming. Invisalign removable aligners make oral hygiene a breeze! Your teens can continue brushing and flossing like normal to maintain good oral health throughout their treatment. We’ll also book dental cleaning every six months to minimize the risk of decay and gum disease.
Invisalign aligners don’t need to be “adjusted” like metal braces, so there’s no need for frequent dental visits. This gives your teens more time for personal activities. Dr. Farhoumand may see your teens every six to eight weeks to monitor their progress and ensure all is well with their treatment.
Invisalign makes use of advanced digital technology to plan your teens’ treatment with greater accuracy and precision. Your teens will be given a preview of how their smiles will appear, so they’ll know what to expect. For optimal results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20 – 22 hours a day. To help with compliance, Invisalign for Teens has built-in indicators to keep track of aligner use.
If your teens need orthodontic treatment, we highly recommend Invisalign for Teens! To learn more about this treatment, contact Avanti Dentistry in Tysons, VA at (703) 952-0663.
