Teenagers are faced with numerous challenges such as the pressures of high school, their peers, sports and their appearance. If your teen has crooked teeth, gapped teeth, misaligned bite, overbite, or underbite, you may consider Invisalign Teen to improve their smile. Our San Francisco dentist specializes in Invisalign and can talk to you and your teen about straightening their teeth.
Our dentist will discuss your needs and evaluate whether this treatment option is right for your teen. They will come up with a custom treatment plan by scanning your teeth and creating a digital map of your smile. Our dentist will map out the exact movements of your teeth and be able to tell you how long the treatment plan will take. The Invisalign treatment plan consists of clear plastic aligners that are custom fit to your teen’s mouth. They can be removed for eating, drinking and brushing their teeth. The best part is, they are completely invisible. They can continue to enjoy the activities and foods they love without pain or discomfort. Teens don’t have to worry about injuries from wires and brackets or trips to the doctor. The clear plastic aligners are easily removable and comfortable in the mouth. The aligners should be worn for most of the day. The only time your teen should remove them is when they brush their teeth, eat or drink. They can easily clean them with warm water or the Invisalign cleaning kit. Your teen should still maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day for at least two minutes along with flossing. This will ensure that your teen’s teeth and gums remain healthy while the clear plastic aligners do their work! The length of treatment will depend on their specific case. The average case takes about one year. The aligners are meant to be switched out every week as your teen’s teeth move and shift into place. You and your teen can continue to track their progress as their smile improves. Talk to our dentist about your teen’s smile. He can assess their teeth and come up with a treatment plan that works for them. No matter what your teen is experiencing with their smile, our experts are here to help. Schedule a consultation with us today.
