Safer, Straighter Teen Smiles With Invisalign®

Having a balanced set of teeth can make a real oral health difference. You see, our jaws are supposed to come together in a very precise way, and an uneven smile can introduce some difficulties. Crowded and overlapped teeth can make it difficult to remove bacterial buildup through brushing and flossing, for instance. It can also be tough for them to show up for school with a smile that they do not really enjoy, so let’s talk about Invisalign® clear aligners.

With our South Shore team at Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry in Shirley, NY, you have a team that truly cares. For decades, our office has been helping kids to reach happy, healthy adult smiles through effective orthodontics and quality pediatric dental care. Once they reach their teen years, it’s important to schedule an orthodontic evaluation to see how they’re developing. And if it’s time to talk about treatment, we can discuss all of their options, including traditional braces and nearly invisible aligner trays from Invisalign®. 

Their smile is a big part of their daily life. Make sure they’re working toward a safer, straighter one with Shirley Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry.

Those Biannual Dental Checkups Are Really Important!

We know that it’s tough to find the time as a parent. We really do. But there are sometimes when it’s really necessary to bring your child in for a visit. Their biannual dental checkups are one of those instances, so let’s talk if they’ve been a while without one.

Each biannual dental checkup at our office includes both a dedicated cleaning of the surface of their teeth and a visual examination from a qualified pediatric dentist. That makes them an integral part in your child’s smile success story. If they still have not been in for a cleaning and examination yet in 2026, then they are ready.

Invisalign® Or Traditional Braces? We Can Talk About Orthodontics, Too

While your teen is in the office for their next biannual dental checkup, it can be a good time to talk about their smile’s alignment. Misaligned teeth can affect both their appearance and the function of their mouth. During their checkup, we can perform an orthodontic evaluation to see how they’re coming along.

Our office offers a full range of teen orthodontic solutions, too. For some, that means having a discussion about traditional braces. And we also have Invisalign® clear aligner therapy, which uses a nearly invisible set of aligner trays to do the job.
