ProviderClear Aligners for Monrovia Teens
For teens who want a less noticeable approach to orthodontic treatment, Invisalign Teen offers a clear, removable alternative to braces.
Invisalign Teen uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually guide the teeth toward their planned positions. Because the aligners fit closely over the teeth, they provide a discreet option for teens who may be concerned about the appearance of orthodontic treatment.
The aligners are also removable, allowing teens to take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes it easier to maintain their usual oral hygiene routine and enjoy meals without brackets or wires to work around.
Invisalign Teen is designed with the needs of growing teenagers in mind, with features that help accommodate their developing smiles and support treatment throughout the teen years.
Orthodontic Treatment During the Teen Years
The teen years can be an ideal time to address tooth and bite concerns as the permanent teeth come in and the smile continues to develop. At Hwang Orthodontics, Invisalign Teen may be recommended as part of a personalized treatment plan based on your teen's individual needs.
The Invisalign Process at Hwang Orthodontics
Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually guide your teen's teeth toward their planned positions.
Each set of aligners is designed to make specific tooth movements based on your teen's personalized treatment plan. Your teen will progress through the series according to the schedule provided by their orthodontist while we monitor their smile throughout treatment.
How Is Invisalign Teen Different?
Invisalign Teen includes features designed with growing smiles and the needs of teenage patients in mind.
Eruption Tabs
Because some permanent teeth may still be coming in during the teen years, Invisalign Teen aligners may include eruption features that leave appropriate space for developing teeth as they emerge.
Compliance Indicators
Some Invisalign Teen aligners include small compliance indicators that gradually change with wear. These can help your teen, their parents, and their orthodontist monitor aligner wear throughout treatment.
Replacement Aligners
Aligners can occasionally be lost or damaged during treatment. If this happens, contact our team so we can determine the appropriate next step and, when needed, arrange for a replacement aligner.
