Invisalign®A healthy smile depends on balance in order to stay safe. When teeth are not appropriately spaced along the oral ridge, it can create areas that are even tougher to keep clean. They also show off their smile each and every day, and crooked teeth and gaps can make that a little more difficult. So, if your child has been struggling with their smile for a while due to misalignment, then it’s time to talk to an orthodontist about their next steps.

An Uneven Set Of Teeth Can Make It Tough To Smile

Do you notice your child covering their mouth when they speak or chew? If so, it might be a sign that they are feeling self-conscious about their smile. That can be tough for teens, as they are certainly critical of themselves and others; it’s just part of the territory as a teenager. But when misalignment affects their smile’s quality, then talk to their dental provider about what’s going on.

Misaligned teeth can create issues for their oral health as well as their cosmetic appearance. In areas where their toothbrush and floss simply will not fit, it’s tough to keep teeth clean of bacterial buildup. Plaque and tartar can cause tooth decay and periodontal disease if ignored. So, see what can be done.

Ask Whether Invisalign® Is Their Next Move

For some teens, the idea of traditional braces is just too much. We understand that feeling, and it’s why we are proud to offer an alternative. With Invisalign® clear aligner therapy, patients are able to shift their smile with a little more privacy.

Invisalign® works by using a progressive set of aligner trays. These trays are nearly invisible, helping people to improve their smile without showing the rest of the class. As your teen reaches nearer to their smile goals, they swap their trays out for a new set.
