Is Invisalign Right For Your Teen?

If you have a teen who is hesitant to get braces, but who really needs to align their bite, Invisalign might be the right option for them. Invisalign treatments are a clear, virtually undetectable alignment option made of flexible plastic that can help your teen’s teeth realign appropriately.

Confidence Is Important

If your teen is a bit self-conscious and worries about the look of braces, you can reassure them that Invisalign treatments feel and look natural. You can also feel confident in your investment. In most cases where the treatment that is needed is mild, Invisalign works just as well as braces. Additionally, Invisalign costs a similar amount to what braces cost, so you know that you are making a sound investment!

Clearly Different

If your teen is suffering from a mild or moderate case of tooth gaps, overbite or overcrowding, and ever underbite, Invisalign is a great option. Before your teen gets their heart set on Invisalign treatments as being the perfect option for them, make sure that you consult a capable orthodontist.

Contact Dr. Harrison at Parkcrest Dental Group

If you feel that your teen might be a good Invisalign candidate, schedule an appointment to see Dr. Harrison and his team. They will examine your teen’s teeth and will determine if Invisalign treatments could work for them! Contact Parkcrest Dental Group today!
