Invisalign for Teens in Merrillville, IN
Everyone wants to grow up with a beautiful, healthy smile, but many of us are prone to naturally misaligned teeth. These problems could be minor, ranging from a twisted tooth on the bottom front row, to major, with spacing issues all around the mouth. Either way, the only way to fix these issues is with braces. The trouble is that most teenagers have no interest in traditional metal braces being placed in their mouth, even if it will eventually mean a straight and gorgeous smile.
Fortunately, technology has brought about many advancements in orthodontic care. One of those is Invisalign Teen. These clear braces fit similarly to a mouth guard, but they are very form-fitting and once placed, it’s almost impossible to tell that your teen is wearing them. And, unlike traditional braces, Invisalign can be removed for eating and brushing, ensuring the healthiest dental hygiene routine possible.
Invisalign Teen is suitable for most misalignment cases. However, in some serious instances, traditional braces and other forms of treatment may be necessary to achieve a perfect smile. The price of Invisalign ranges depending on whether your teen will require a bottom or upper tray, or both. Their treatment plan will be custom-tailored to suit their needs.
After the initial tray is made, your teen will need to come back to the office every so often for a new tray to be made so that their teeth get progressively straighter. This schedule could last anywhere from a few months to a year or so, depending on the extremity of the re-positioning that’s required to achieve a straight smile.
These benefits are just the tip of the iceberg. If you are curious to know how Invisalign Teen in Merrillville can be the perfect solution for your teen, contact our office today!
