Outstanding Service. Outstanding Smiles!

Why Choose Invisalign Teen

If your child are getting ready to get braces as an adolescent, congratulations: getting braces for the first time is an exciting period, and it’s the first step on the road towards a beautiful, lifelong smile. However, traditional metal braces – the orthodontic treatment that most people are familiar with – are no longer the only option for a healthier smile. Advances in orthodontic technology now let us at Sonneveld Orthodontics offer a variety of orthodontic treatment options to our patients, one of which is Invisalign Teen.

What Is Invisalign Teen?

Invisalign Teen is an alternative treatment to braces that does away with metal brackets and wires, instead relying on a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten the teeth. The aligners lay flat against the teeth, are virtually invisible when worn, and are easy to pop in and out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This means that teens don’t have to worry about having braces for important milestones like prom, can still enjoy their favorite foods, and can maintain oral hygiene normally. In addition, Invisalign Teen aligners come with built-in compliance indicators that show if a teen is wearing the aligners enough, and each treatment course comes with 6 free replacement aligners.

Benefits of Invisalign Teen

Thanks to the revolutionary design and the specially-tailored features of Invisalign Teen, adolescent patients who choose Invisalign Teen get a variety of benefits and advantages to their treatment:

  • Virtually Invisible: Because the aligners are clear, the patient won’t have noticeable braces for school pictures, dances, or prom.
  • No Dietary Restrictions: Whether it’s raw carrots, gum, or popcorn, Invisalign Teen patients still get to enjoy all of their favorite foods.
  • Easy Oral Hygiene: With traditional braces, patients need to use special tools like floss threaders – but with Invisalign Teen, patients brush and floss as normal.
  • Improved Comfort: Invisalign aligners lie flat on the teeth and are smooth to the touch, meaning they are comfortable to wear.
