The month of March is peak Spring Break Season for many schools in the Bay Area & at time some teens are home from college. Spring break is an ideal time to start your teen with Invisalign clear aligners. Many parents take time off during spring break & can accompany their child to the orthodontist for their Invisalign consultation & start. You may want to act fast to schedule since we do get busy during this time of year when everyone has a break from school.
If your teenager needs orthodontic treatment then you’ve probably considered Invisalign aligners. Many teenagers prefer Invisalign ovetal braces, and a lot of them have successful results. Invisalign aligners can be taken out of the mouth in order to brush and floss, making it easier to clean your teeth thoroughly and consistently. They are to be worn up to 23 hours a day however, so it’s important to remember to put them back in!
Invisalign aligners are clear, so you don’t have that chunky “metal mouth” that braces do. For teenagers in high school this is especially important, given the presence of selfies and social media these days. Self-confidence is important for everyone, and for teenagers going through orthodontic treatment the sleek and virtually invisible appearance of Invisalign aligners can help with that.
Invisalign consists of fewer parts than braces- there are no brackets or rubber-bands to deal with. This may mean fewer trips to the orthodontist for repairs. They are also less likely to break during sports or other physical activities, and you can carry back-ups around with you in case something does happen to them.
Invisalign aligners work best for teens who possess a lot of discipline, are willing to comply to all the orthodontists instructions, and are very dedicated to wearing the aligners at all times. It’s important to note that most teenagers perform better than their parents expect. We have countless numbers of successful Invisalign cases for teens, and we absolutely recommend them if the case is appropriate.
