we understand teenagers
invisalign for TEENS @ octagon orthodontics
We offer a range of treatment options for teenagers. The great benefit of Invisalign Teen is that it provides an aesthetic, more flexible way to give teenagers the confidence of a great smile. Invisalign aligners are comfortable, removable and nearly invisible, which means teenagers can carry on enjoying life without the restrictions, irritation and self-consciousness often associated with metal brackets and wires.
Invisalign aligners are also removable, so teenagers can continue brushing and flossing normally.
what options are available to teenagers?
Invisalign has several treatment options available for teenagers, depending on the stage of dental development. Some teenagers will be suitable for the same Invisalign treatment as adult patients. Younger teenagers, or those whose adult teeth have not yet erupted can be treated with Invisalign Teen – a treatment designed specifically for teenagers. Our specialist Invisalign Providers will determine which treatment best suits your individual needs and the condition of your teeth.
why Invisalign teen?
Invisalign Teen has been developed with teenagers, parents and leading orthodontists who understand the active lifestyles and unique treatment needs of teenage patients.
The Invisalign Teen aligners are made with the same Invisalign technology used for Invisalign aligners, moving teeth gradually without the need for metal or wires!
how does invisalign teen work?
Invisalign Teen works just the same as all other types of Invisalign; plastic aligners are custom-made to fit over your upper and lower teeth. These aligners, which look like a thin sports mouthguard, gently move your teeth into position. For best results, you need to wear them for 20-22 hours a day and you change them in accordance with the advice of your orthodontist.
what are the benefits of invisalign for teenagers?
- Virtually invisible: Invisalign Teen aligners are virtually invisible. This means you won’t need to feel self-conscious about having treatment because no-one will be able to tell.
- Low impact: Invisalign Teen won’t get in the way of your lifestyle. Simply remove your aligners when playing sports or musical instruments, or for important social occasions, such as graduation or the school prom.
- Easy to clean: Because Invisalign Teen aligners can be removed at mealtimes, you can continue to eat your favourite food, clean your teeth as usual and reinsert your aligners.
- Good for oral health: Invisalign Teen’s removable aligners make it easy to keep your teeth clean. Simply remove the aligners to brush and floss then put them back in to ensure you’re wearing them for the required 20-22 hours!
- Invisalign aligners are custom-made to your child’s teeth, taking into account the growth and development of teenage teeth and jaws. This means you can be guaranteed a result that suits your teenager’s facial profile.
