Invisalign for teens at Scott Smith Orthodontics

At Scott Smith Orthodontics, we know what it's like to be a teenager. That is why we are excited to announce that we use Invisalign for teens, a virtually invisible treatment option that allows teens to get straight teeth without anyone noticing. 

What is Invisalign for teens?

Invisalign for teens is the version of Invisalign that is designed specifically for teenagers. The clear plastic aligners are virtually invisible so none of your friends will know you're having treatment - unless you tell them of course. 

The aligners work just the same as the adult version of Invisalign does. They sit over your teeth like a thin sports mouth guard and gradually move your teeth into a straighter position. You just need to remember to change the aligners as directed by the Dental Monitoring app, as each set is slightly different and helps to move your teeth along. 

Getting great results

The key to getting great results from your Invisalign treatment is remembering to wear your aligners. Because they are removable it can be tempting to take them out, but we only advise you do this at certain times, such as when you're eating, cleaning your teeth, playing sports or practicing a musical instrument. 

You need to wear your aligners for 22 hours per day. You will notice a little blue dot on your aligner. This will fade the more you wear your aligners so it helps you - and us - keep track of how often you're wearing them. 

Benefits of Invisalign for teens

• The aligners are so discreet your classmates won't even knowing you're having orthodontic treatment.
• You can take them out to eat all of your favourite foods.
• You can keep up a great oral hygiene routine so your teeth stay in top condition throughout treatment.
• You can take them out for special occasions.
