What is Invisalign Teen?
Now teens don't have to worry about embarrassing metal braces in their photo's at school, with family or friends or for Facebook Profiles - as Invisalign Teen is here!
Invisalign Teen is the perfect teeth straightening system designed to address the needs of teenagers. Using a series of clear, removable aligners which are virtually invisible, you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. Say bye, bye to metal braces and smile with confidence whilst in treatment.
Invisalign teen uses the same technology as that used for adults but in addition a few special features have been introduced
- Blue wear-indicators fade from blue to clear to show that the next aligner needs to be worn.
- As teenagers grow, the special design compensates for the eruption of canines, second premolars and second molars.
- Six free replacement aligners are included in case any get lost, misplaced or broken.
How does Invisalign Teen work?
- Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks and then wear the next aligner.
- Your teeth will move gradually each week.
- You visit the practice every 8-10 weeks.
- Total treatment time averages 6-15 months.
- Average number of aligners is between 18 and 30.
- You can eat what you like as aligners should be removed only to eat, drink, brush and floss.
What conditions does Invisalign Teen treat?
- Invisalign Teen can treat a broad range of dental and orthodontic conditions, which, in the past, were usually treated with traditional braces. These conditions include:
- Overly crowded teeth
- Widely spaced teeth
- Crossbite
- Overbite
- Underbite
The majority of our clients are situated in the local London area but we are also able to provide services to those residing in surrounding boroughs such as Hounslow and Brentford.
