Our Orland Park cosmetic dentists have found that Invisalign is a very popular treatment with patients of many ages. There are a few specific reasons that teens, in particular, pick Invisalign to perfect their smiles, and today we are going to be reviewing some of these key benefits. Keep reading to learn more!
As you may already know, Invisalign treatment uses customized clear plastic aligners to move a patient’s natural teeth over a period of months. This is a completely metal-free orthodontic option. In order to move your teeth, you will wear a series of aligners—switching out aligners every month or so. Each aligner you wear is designed to move your teeth a little more until you achieve your dream smile.
The first reason that teens love Invisalign is that these aligners are practically invisible once they are in place (hence the name Invisalign!). Teenagers prefer to use these clear aligners, rather than dealing with metal brackets and wires.
Another benefit of Invisalign being completely metal-free is that the aligners glide over your oral tissues, rather than snagging and irritating them. In general, Invisalign wearers report that their treatment experience is very comfortable, and they have high rates of treatment compliance.
Both younger dental patients and their parents prefer Invisalign because these aligners make it simple for the patient to care for his or her smile throughout the treatment process. Because you can take the aligner out of your mouth completely, you will be able to floss and brush your teeth as you normally do!
