Are you considering braces for your teenager? Perhaps you didn’t already know, but Invisalign – which offers almost-invisible braces – provides a version with teens in mind. The procedure is available here at Smile Rooms Milton Keynes and our dentists have been performing the treatment for years.

Using a series of clear, removable dental aligners that have been made for your teenager’s teeth, the popular Invisalign programme will help straighten their smile and boost their confidence. After all, when their teeth aren’t completely straight, their self-esteem may suffer as a result. In some cases, though, crooked teeth can cause issues, particularly in later life.

If you’re wondering how the Invisalign Teen treatment works, allow us to tell you. As opposed to wires and brackets, the procedure uses clear aligners that are barely noticeable. Your teenager will then simply wear them over their teeth, changing them with a new set of aligners every fortnight or so. The idea is that, over time, their teeth will gradually move into place, to help them achieve a straighter smile.

The procedure is just as effective as traditional, metal bracket-style braces; just because the aligners are barely noticeable to others doesn’t mean it is any less successful a procedure. Treating mild to severe cases, Invisalign for teens can help with underbite, overbite, overcrowding and gaps between the teeth.

If your teenager is sporty, they can simply remove their aligners when they’re playing football or swimming, for example. There really is no need for Invisalign for Teens to get in the way of their normal lifestyle.

With traditional braces, your teenager should avoid lots of foods – from popcorn to apples. But with Invisalign, there are no restrictions at all. As the aligners are removable, they can also brush and floss normally to ensure their usual dental hygiene routine isn’t disrupted.
