Summer is a busy time for orthodontists. Kids are out of school, so there’s more freedom to make it to appointments. And if your child or teen is starting orthodontic treatment for the first time, it’s nice to have some time to adjust to wearing braces or Invisalign® before returning to school.
If your child or teen needs orthodontic care, or you do, consider Jennifer Martin Orthodontics. They serve patients of all ages, in a family friendly atmosphere, and understand the need to adjust to your busy schedule.
Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign is becoming more popular with teens. It’s all about social media and selfies these days, and teenagers prefer the clear plastic aligners as opposed to heavy metal braces.
Invisalign aligners work best for mild to moderate cases of misaligned teeth. If your child has a more severe case of misalignment, a different approach may be necessary. Dr. Martin will thoroughly examine your case, and work with you to decide the best option for treatment.
Teenagers perform really well with Invisalign. Many parents exclaim surprise and delight with their teens willingness to adhere to the strict compliance necessary for the aligners to do their job. They do need to be worn for up to 22 hours a day, only to be removed for eating and cleaning the teeth.
If your teenager is fairly disciplined, and dedicated to finishing their treatment in a timely manner, Invisalign may be a wonderful option for orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign for Adults
Orthodontic care isn’t just for teenagers anymore. More adults than ever are seeking out orthodontic care, in order to prolong the health of their teeth and their overall wellness. Straight teeth are great for confidence and a bright smile, but they also have a lot to do with maintaining a healthy lifestyle as you grow older.
When your teeth are straight there is less wear and tear on them. You won’t come across as many microchips and cracks in straight teeth, and it’s also easier to eat the healthy foods you need to maintain your body’s health.
Invisalign is great for adults, especially working in a professional field. They are virtually invisible, so you can achieve orthodontic treatment with no one being the wiser!
It’s never too late to get the beautiful smile you deserve, so whether or not your kids need orthodontic treatment, you deserve a healthy smile just as much!
