Start Their Journey Toward A Straighter Smile

If your teen is ready to talk about orthodontic treatment, their first step is to meet with a qualified provider in their area. But before they start to enhance their smile with braces or clear aligners, it’s important to make sure that they are up to date with their dental appointments. If they have fallen behind, then it’s time for them to come in for a cleaning and examination. These visits are vital to their long-term smile success, so schedule their next checkup and start their journey.

While they are in the office, their pediatric dentist might point out areas where their routine brushing and flossing is not doing enough. When teeth overcrowd or overlap, they can create spots where their toothbrush simple will not fit. This can become a big problem when trying to keep their smile clean, and orthodontic intervention might be their solution to this problem.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners Help Teens See A Beautiful Smile

When you have a teenager, you know exactly how self-conscious they can be. It’s an awkward time for just about any of us. When you add on the additional strain of having traditional braces, it can be tough for teens.

Invisalign® helps in a different way, while still using the same trusted orthodontic principles as braces. Instead, this innovative approach uses a slim set of nearly invisible aligner trays to adjust their teeth. At their next meeting, ask about whether it’s the right choice for your teen.
