You teenager may be a candidate for this option if their smile features mild to moderate cases of:
• Crooked teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Crowded teeth
• Cross bite
• Underbite
• Overbite
• Open bite
Severe cases of one or more of these issues are best corrected with a more traditional appliance, such as braces or a version of.
Invisalign Teen has several features that make the process as easy as possible. This includes dots that disappear with use, which helps the patient, patient’s parents, and our expert know if the aligners are being worn enough. This treatment version also comes with expanding aligners to accommodate growing jaws and erupting wisdom teeth, and up to six replacements.
Invisalign may work for your teenager if they are able to keep track of how long they wear the aligners for, which have to be used for at least twenty hours a day. Treatment may be prolonged if any of the aligners are damaged or go missing. Talk to our Los Angeles Invisalign doctor to see if your teen qualifies for this treatment option.
