Invisalign® Teen
At La Jolla Dental Image, we are committed to providing orthodontic solutions for all ages. In addition to our specialized
Adult Invisalign treatment, we proudly offer
Invisalign Teen, a comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional metal braces tailored specifically for younger smiles. Dr. Hamidy and our skilled team work with teens to help them achieve beautifully aligned teeth while keeping up with their active, busy lives.
What is Invisalign for Teens?
While many adults enjoy the convenience and subtlety of Invisalign,
Invisalign Teen
is a separate solution designed specifically for the unique needs of teenagers. This treatment uses clear, custom-made aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment without interfering with a teen’s lifestyle. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign Teen aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and customized to ensure a comfortable fit that adapts to a teenager's active schedule.
Benefits of Invisalign for Teenagers
Invisalign Teen brings a range of unique advantages, making it a popular choice for both teens and their parents. Here are the core benefits:
Discreet Appearance:
The clear aligners allow teens to feel confident while undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Removable Convenience:
Teens can remove the aligners to eat, drink, and brush, avoiding restrictions common with traditional braces.
Comfortable Fit:
Crafted from smooth, clear plastic, Invisalign Teen aligners are more comfortable than metal braces, minimizing irritation.
Less Time in the Dental Chair:
For families on the go, Invisalign Teen requires fewer office visits compared to traditional braces
How Invisalign Teen Treatment Works
The Invisalign Teen process at La Jolla Dental Image follows a straightforward plan similar to our Adult Invisalign treatment but includes additional features suited for teens. The process begins with a consultation with Dr. Hamidy, where we assess your teen’s needs and customize a treatment plan using advanced 3D imaging.
Here’s what you can expect with Invisalign Teen:
Digital Impression and Treatment Planning:
Dr. Hamidy uses digital scans to plan out each tooth’s movement for a seamless and effective alignment journey.
Custom Aligners:
Your teen will receive a set of aligners customized for them, with each set worn for about two weeks before moving to the next.
Regular Check-Ups:
We’ll schedule periodic check-ups to ensure progress, provide new aligners, and monitor the alignment process.
Tracking Compliance:
Invisalign Teen includes a compliance indicator, helping parents and Dr. Hamidy ensure the aligners are worn as prescribed.
Common Questions and Concerns About Invisalign Teen
Since Invisalign Teen is a specialized service in addition to our
Adult Invisalign program, it’s natural for both parents and teens to have questions:
Will my teen wear the aligners consistently?
The blue compliance indicators on each aligner provide a reliable way for parents to track if the aligners are worn as recommended.
Are there activity restrictions?
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign Teen aligners can be removed, allowing teens to participate in sports and extracurricular activities without worries about wires or brackets.
What if an aligner is lost?
The Invisalign Teen package includes six replacement aligners at no additional cost, ensuring that treatment can continue smoothly.
