Ask the Orthodontist about Invisalign Teen

For teens, the idea of metal braces is often dreaded. After all, no one wants to look back on their summer vacation, cousin’s graduation party, or every day Instagram photos, and see a half-hearted, embarrassed smile, or an unattractive layer of metal over their teeth. Luckily, traditional metal braces are no longer the only option for teens. Now, Smiles by Lorino Orthodontics offers Invisalign Teen, a custom solution just for teens that eliminates the negatives associated with metal braces, while still producing a straight, perfect result. If you or your teen near Wayne wants to learn more about the benefits of Invisalign Teen, read these important points from Drs. Lorino and Paralkar:

Invisalign Teen is a series of clear, plastic aligner trays that are custom made to fit over the teeth. They work in the same way as traditional braces to gently move the teeth to better positions, creating a long lasting, flawless smile. Often, patients near Wayne believe that they cannot get Invisalign, because they have a complex or unique case. Drs. Lorino and Paralkar say that Invisalign Teen can treat a huge range of cases, and often can solve most teen’s orthodontic problems. If you believe you may be interested in Invisalign Teen near Wayne, Drs. Lorino and Paralkar will be happy to arrange a consultation, during which they will analyze if you are an appropriate candidate for Invisalign Teen.

Invisalign Teen is also removable. This is great for teens because it allows for restriction-free eating, brushing, and flossing habits, making for better overall health. Additionally, Smiles by Lorino Orthodontics says that Invisalign Teen’s removable nature is great for teens that participate in sports, playing a musical instrument, or other activities. This is because it keeps the mouth free of metal parts, so the risk of oral injury is lower. And, teens will find that enjoying their favorite activities is as easy and comfortable as ever, whether they choose to keep Invisalign in while participating, or opt to remove the trays. But, Drs. Lorino and Paralkar say to always remember to put your Invisalign trays in a safe place, as often times teens may misplace them or discard them by accident. If you do lose them, Invisalign Teen is specially made for teens, and does have a solution! Invisalign Teen comes with some replacement aligners that Smiles by Lorino Orthodontics will be happy to provide.

Of course, another huge benefit of Invisalign Teen is that it is completely clear. Invisalign teen near Wayne gives patients the opportunity to feel fully confident in their smiles while undergoing treatment. Only the patient wearing the aligners can tell they’re there, making for a more cosmetically pleasing system than traditional metal braces. Smiles by Lorino Orthodontics reminds that Invisalign does require a retainer, like any other orthodontic treatment system. But, luckily, there are Invisalign retainers available, so teens can continue to enjoy the same benefits throughout the retention process as well.
