Invisalign® for Teens

As everyone knows, the teenage years are typically a time of significant physical and emotional development. In addition to acquiring a more adult appearance, the teen years are a time of heightening self-awareness, building self-confidence, and an ever-growing investment in peer relationships.

For adolescents, teeth that are crooked, gapped, crowded, or protruding can potentially impact their self-image as well as their self-esteem. Furthermore, untreated malocclusions can predispose teens to TMJ issues, headaches, and dental disease.

Invisalign® offers teens a more cosmetic, comfortable, and convenient alternative to other types of orthodontic appliances.

Despite the desire for a beautiful and well-aligned smile, today's teens are far more image conscious than previous generations. How they look to peers on social media, and other online platforms can factor into their preferences for orthodontic care. Given the choice between conventional braces and clear, removable aligners, most prefer the latter.
