How Invisalign® Teen Works
Invisalign® teen can be the perfect teeth-straightening system for today’s busy teen lifestyle. If your orthodontist feels Invisalign® is a good fit for your orthodontic needs, a set of x-rays and a digital scan of your teeth will be taken. This scan will be sent to a lab where the Invisalign® aligner trays will be made using a 3D computer projection of how your teeth could move with the help of aligners. The result of that projection is the basis for creating your custom-made aligners.
Your specific case will determine how many aligners you will need throughout your treatment, but typically a set of 7 to 30 aligners are needed for both the upper and lower teeth. Your orthodontist will provide your Invisalign® aligners in various amounts depending on what is being accomplished. Each aligner should be worn approximately 22 hours per day for 1-2 weeks. Invisalign® trays are removable, and should be removed for eating and brushing your teeth, but wearing them consistently is vital to treatment success.

Orthodontic Treatment with Invisalign®
If you need orthodontic treatment, chances are Invisalign® can help. Invisalign® can treat a wide range of cases. The teeth straightening process will vary from person to person, but the basic idea stays the same. Your orthodontist will take x-rays, pictures and a digital scan of your teeth, and then use that information to create a treatment plan. You’ll receive a series of custom aligners that you’ll change about every 1-2 weeks. Over time, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place.
Invisalign® vs. Traditional Braces
Traditional braces tend to be unsightly and less comfortable, and they make it difficult to keep your teeth clean during orthodontic treatment. Invisalign® clear aligners help you to stay confident and comfortable throughout the teeth straightening process. They’re also removable and wire-free, so it’s easier to maintain proper oral hygiene and not worry about getting food stuck in hard-to-reach areas. Invisalign® offers many advantages over braces, often at about the same cost as other orthodontic treatments.
