Invisalign Teen, the Alternative to Traditional Braces

Teens today are faced with more and more challenges with self confidence, from Social Media to Social Lives.  Getting braces is most likely last of their priority list however, creating a beautiful smile can greatly boost their self esteem.

Your team at Ashburn Orthodontics thought we’d remind you that Invisalign Teen gives you a whole new way to wear braces for a “clearly” amazing smile!

Invisalign Teen works much in the same fashion as Invisalign, but with a few added characteristics tailored specifically to teenagers’ lifestyles. For instance, Invisalign Teen is designed with “compliance indicators” that fade from blue during the two-week period which that particular tray is used. Once the indicator has faded, teens know to change trays. Each aligner comes with up to six free individual replacement aligners in case the original aligner ends up lost or broken, which is another big benefit for the patient!

The treatment period for Invisalign Teen varies much like traditional braces and can vary depending on each case. If your teen is considering orthodontic treatment, please contact our office and we’ll answer any questions you may have about Invisalign Teen.

Remember, It’s All About Your Smile!
