Invisalign Teen - Invisible Braces For Teenagers

Conditions Treated By Invisalign Teen Braces
By using its advanced technology, Invisalign Teen can treat a broad range of dental and orthodontic conditions, which, in the past, were usually treated with traditional braces:
- Overly crowded teeth
- Widely spaced teeth
- Crossbite
- Overbite
- Underbite
How The Treatment Works
Overall, an average treatment takes about a year and is made up of these main steps:
- You meet with a designated Invisalign Teen provider for a consultation about your treatment.
- Your provider takes pictures and impressions of your teeth, and maps out a precise visual plan of your tooth move ments, from the beginning to the end of your treatment.
- Aligners are made to custom-fit your teeth. The number of aligners changes for each person.
- You wear your aligners about 20 to 22 hours everyday, except to eat, brush, and floss, or go to a special event.
- About every two weeks, you swap your old aligners for new ones. The aligners will gradually move your teeth into their final prescribed position.
