Being a teenager is not always easy. You’re going through major changes in your life, and you may find that you’re more self-conscious and hyperaware. If you have crooked teeth, you know just how much that can affect your appearance. Of course, the catch is that getting traditional braces to help straighten your teeth can affect your appearance as well. It’s for this reason that more and more teens are becoming interested in Invisalign® at our Miami orthodontic office. Invisalign Teen® offers many of the benefits of traditional braces with none of the hassle.
One of the biggest benefits to teenagers is that Invisalign Teen® is practically invisible. The Invisalign® aligners are made of a sturdy, clear plastic that no one will notice. This is much better than those brackets and wires with traditional braces which are quite conspicuous even if made of clear or ceramic materials.
Another major advantage to Invisalign Teen® is that the aligners are removable. You’ll wear the Invisalign Teen® aligners at all times save for when eating, drinking, or cleaning your teeth. This means you can still eat your favorite foods without any problems, and that cleaning your teeth is just as easy as before. You can also take out those Invisalign Teen® aligners if you play sports or for special occasions like the prom. This versatility and convenience just isn’t available with traditional braces.
Invisalign Teen® also means fewer visits to our orthodontic office in Miami. The Invisalign Teen® aligners have a special blue dot that lets you know when to switch to the next Invisalign Teen® aligner. You don’t have to visit us for bracket or wire adjustments, and we won’t need to reassess your progress as often.
Yet another major advantage of Invisalign Teen® is one that your parents will appreciate. Here at Grussmark Orthodontics, we know that accidents can happen. Sometimes you may misplace an aligner somewhere and be unable to find it. For that reason, our Miami office offers six Invisalign Teen® replacement aligners free of charge. That’s less stress for you if you happen to lose an aligner and less of a burden on your parents. (It should be noted that the six replacement aligners are only available for Invisalign Teen®, not for adult Invisalign®.)
With so many clear advantages to Invisalign Teen®, it’s no wonder it’s such a popular option. To find out if it’s right for you, contact Grussmark Orthodontics in Miami for an Invisalign Teen® consultation.
