Why Teens Love Invisalign

Over the past few years, we have seen a rise in the number of teenagers who come through our doors looking for one thing: options.

While braces of years past have typically come in the standard, traditional metal braces, there are more options for today’s modern teen, including clear braces and Invisalign. Invisalign has been gaining in popularity over the past few years and attracts teenagers for many reasons, but mainly because their lifestyle isn’t interrupted!

As a Premier Preferred Provider for Invisalign, Dr. French and Dr. Olsen at Authentic Orthodontics can help teens determine if Invisalign is the right choice for their smile. We can weigh the options, find out what would be the most effective treatment, and make a final decision together.

Top Reasons Why Teenagers Love Invisalign:

1. Almost Invisible

Most teenagers want Invisalign for this main perk. You can hardly see the aligners, which makes treatment almost unnoticed.

The clear aligners are made of a clear plastic material called SmartTrack. The aligners are given in a series and will slowly straighten teeth over time. Unlike braces that require brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are custom-shaped to guide teeth into a straighter position. With brackets and wires out of the way, people will just notice how straight your smile is becoming!

2. Removable

While Invisalign aligners are clear, there are still times when teens need to remove them. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign can be removed for eating, cleaning, sports, and special occasions.

Although the aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours per day, they can be removed as needed. There’s no need to avoid chewy, hard, or crunchy foods—just remove the aligners before meals. It's perfect for active teens who wear mouthguards for sports or want to show off their smile at a big event.

3. Easy Care and Cleaning

Since Invisalign is removable, cleaning your teeth is a breeze. Teens can remove their aligners and brush and floss just like normal—no working around brackets and wires.

And if an aligner gets lost? Invisalign Teen has your back with a free replacement tray available as part of the program.

4. Real Results

Whether your teen’s case is simple or complex, Invisalign Teen may be a great option. Millions of teenagers have already found success with Invisalign—and they love that they don’t have to change their lifestyle, diet, or daily routine to get the smile they want.
