Straightening the teeth of a teenager does not always require the use of braces. Your Las Vegas orthodontists may recommend Invisalign Teen as an alternative to traditional braces. As a parent, you want to understand the treatment option and determine if it may help with your child's smile.
What is Invisalign Teen?
Invisalign Teen refers to a clear, removable set of aligners used to straighten your teen's teeth without the use of traditional wires and brackets used in braces. The aligners gradually change as your orthodontists in Las Vegas, NV recommend changing to a new aligner as your teen's teeth move and straighten over time.
The advantages associated with Invisalign Teen range from better oral hygiene to improvements in quality of life due to the ability to remove the aligners. A teen can take the aligners out to eat meals, brush and floss his or her teeth or when playing sports. When used according to the recommendations of your Las Vegas, NV orthodontist, Invisalign is an effective option for straightening a teen's teeth.
Who Qualifies for the Braces?
Aligners used in Invisalign are appropriate for most teenagers. Professionals at your Las Vegas, NV orthodontics office have the tools and experience to determine if a teen will benefit from the aligners or if traditional braces are more appropriate for the specific concerns a parent or teen wants to address with braces.
Invisalign Teen is an alternative to traditional braces. Since it uses clear aligners, a teen will need to change the aligners as directed by orthodontists in Las Vegas, NV. It is also most effective when worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, so parents should encourage teenagers to keep the aligners in place unless they are eating, brushing their teeth, cleaning the aligners or engaging in sports or similar activities.
