Invisalign® Teen in Katy, TX 77494
Over the years, Invisalign® has introduced two features specifically for teens!
Are you concerned that your teen will not wear their aligners consistently?
The first was that teens would not consistently wear their aligners for the recommended 22 hours per day. This is now addressed by blue dots, or “compliance indicators,” located on the aligners themselves. These colored dots fade slowly over time as the aligners are worn in the mouth to indicate patient cooperation.
Does your teenager have teeth that have not yet erupted?
The second was that many teens have some permanent teeth still erupting (emerging from below the gums), which caused problems with the fit of the retainers. This is now addressed by the inclusion of “eruption tabs” built in, which are designed to hold space for teeth that are erupting or have yet to erupt.
Today, more people than ever – both adults and teens – are finding that clear aligners suit their needs best. We recommend an orthodontic exam to see if clear aligners are right for you!
