Appearance is everything these days, and nobody worries about their appearance more than teens. Social standards of today demand that teens in high school and first years of college maintain a certain image. This image is what introduces them to the world, sort of their greeting card. One of the most unattractive things that can certainly ruin that image is braces. While braces are effective, and in some cases necessary to improve one’s appearance, they are downright ugly. Kids are resilient, so they can accommodate that unsightly appearance for a year or two, but teens – like adults- are a different matter. For these reasons and more, Invisalign technology came as an absolute savior. If you are in search for a provider for Invisalign teen, Freehold NJ residents trust our team at Freehold orthodontics.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the solution to every problem that braces create. Instead of the metallic brackets attached to teeth, on which metallic wires and colorful elastics are attached to move the teeth, Invisalign is composed of a series of plastic, transparent molds known as aligners. These aligners fit the outer surface of the teeth without being attached to them, and apply pressure in a calculated manner to move the teeth to the desired location.
What is Invisalign teen?
Invisalign teen uses the same aligners as traditional Invisalign. However, there is one key difference. Traditional Invisalign is made for adults, meaning people who have reached their growth completion. Teens are still in their development phase, so the aligners for Invisalign teen accommodate and promote that growth, so as not to interfere with the development of the jaws and teeth.
What are the benefits of Invisalign or Invisalign teen?
-
Improved appearance:
No brackets, wires or elastics certainly means a better look. No longer do teens have to endure that horrible “metal mouth” appearance. The aligners are transparent and practically invisible.
-
Comfort:
Nothing attached to the teeth means no cuts, bruises or ulcers. Traditional braces make your mouth feel full and always cause discomfort, but aligners are tightly fitting the outer surface, so no bulges and no fullness and ultimately, much more comfort.
-
Improved oral hygiene:
Traditional braces are an absolute nightmare when it comes to cleaning. No brush – even the electric brush – is enough to fully clean the teeth, especially the area around the brackets. More often than not, braces are accompanied by gum disease and in some cases even decay. Invisalign took care of all that. You can remove the aligners easily so that you can clean your teeth thoroughly.
-
Accuracy:
Invisalign is a technology that is mainly dependent on computers. After the initial molds are taken, a computer is used to formulate the entire treatment plan and produce the aligners. Therefore, Invisalign is extremely accurate as well as faster in most cases.
