Can All Teens Get Invisalign?

Invisalign Teen is a great orthodontic alternative for teens that need orthodontic treatment, but do not want the wires and brackets of conventional braces. Our dentist in Huntington Beach can help you and your teen decide if Invisalign Teen is the right choice.

Many orthodontic problems can be addressed using Invisalign Teen, including:

•    Crooked teeth
•    Spaced teeth
•    Crowded teeth
•    Crossbites
•    Underbites
•    Overbites

Most mild-to-moderate orthodontic problems can be treated with Invisalign’s clear aligners, but the system might not be appropriate for all orthodontic issues, including some severe malocclusions. Our team can help you decide if it is right for your teen.

Invisalign Teen’s system includes all the benefits of conventional Invisalign, as well as eruption tabs, which adjust as teeth erupt, and the Blue Dot indicators, which let your teen know when it is time to change his or her aligners. The aligners are clear, so your teen can wear them with confidence. They are also smooth, so they will not irritate her gums or cheeks. Because the aligners can be removed, they will not interfere with the ability to participate in favorite activities or enjoy favorite foods.
