When it comes to your child’s dental health, their needs change a bit as they grow older. Yet one important concern no matter a person’s age is the straightness and alignment of the smile. Misaligned teeth can lead to self-consciousness due to their appearance. In addition to this, a number of dental health problems may be caused by teeth that are improperly aligned.
It’s for this reason that many parents turn to Grussmark Orthodontics in Miami to learn about Invisalign Teen®, a clear alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign Teen® uses clear plastic aligners that are custom-fitted to your teenager’s teeth. This means that each Invisalign® treatment will involve uniquely designed care, precisely determined with the latest in dental technology.
One clear advantage to Invisalign Teen® is that the aligners are almost undetectable. Whereas traditional braces have noticeable brackets and wires, Invisalign Teen® is virtually invisible. In addition to this, the Invisalign® aligners are removable. Your teenager can still eat his or her favorite foods, and can still clean their teeth with ease, and can also remove the aligners for sports and special occasions. You can’t say the same thing about braces.
It’s also important to consider that Invisalign Teen® means fewer visits to our office in Miami than if your teenager received traditional braces. The Invisalign Teen® aligners have a special blue dot indicator system on the aligners themselves. This discreet blue dot will note to you and your teen when to switch to the next set of Invisalign® aligners.
In addition to all of those other advantages, there’s something else that makes Invisalign Teen® great for you and your teenager. Sometimes accidents happen and an Invisalign® aligner may be lost or misplaced. The team here at our Miami orthodontic office understands this completely, which is why we will offer six replacement Invisalign Teen® aligners free of charge. That’s less of a financial burden for you. It will also help ease the mind of your teenage child who has a lot of other things to worry about. (Please note that the free replacement aligners are not available for adult Invisalign®.)
With all of these great advantages over traditional braces, it’s no wonder that so many teens and parents throughout Miami are interested in Invisalign Teen®. For more information on Invisalign Teen®, please call Grussmark Orthodontics in Miami today.
