Your Teen Will Love Invisalign®

Straightening your teeth with Invisalign can be a great option if your teen is concerned about their appearance and doesn’t want to look different from their friends.

Invisalign created a system that meets the special needs of teens in Tacoma and Yelm. Invisalign for Teens can be a great clear option for teens shying away from traditional metal braces.

Teen Invisalign in Tacoma & Yelm, WA

The Invisalign for Teens aligners are made of clear plastic and almost invisible. Your teen’s friends probably won’t even know they’re wearing them. Instead of hiding behind a mouth full of metal, they’ll enjoy the confidence of showing that smile every day.

They probably have friends with braces who aren’t allowed to chew gum or eat certain foods like popcorn and whole apples. With Invisalign Teen, the aligners are completely removable, allowing your teen to eat all of your favorite foods whenever you want.

This also means your teen can easily keep brushing and flossing as you normally would for proper oral hygiene.

Whether your child plays sports or a musical instrument, metal braces may hold them back from enjoying the things they want to. It’s hard to perform at your best knowing you could get hit in the mouth with a ball, or cut your lip trying to hit that note on the trumpet.

Invisalign for Teens helps your child focus on doing what they do best—being a teen.

Great for Active Teens

Invisalign for Teens effectively straightens teeth the same way metal braces do. Invisalign for Teens is an ideal choice for teens who play sports, play certain types of instruments, love crunchy foods, or are worried about how metal braces will look at homecoming or in the yearbook.

As a teenager, you should be able to participate in the activities you’re interested in while still having the confidence to attend social events and make lasting memories. You should also be able to get efficient orthodontic treatment for crowded teeth, uneven spacing, and bite issues.

With the clear, comfortable technology of Invisalign, teens can keep being themselves and love their smiles even more.

Perfect for Busy Schedules

Invisalign for Teens treatment is ideal for busy parents because there are never any emergency appointments from broken wires or brackets. Invisalign often requires fewer appointments (than traditional metal braces) because you get your Invisalign aligners in advance, and each visit requires less “chair time” at Whitewater Orthodontic Studios.

Dr. Andrew Leavitt sees his average teen patient wearing Invisalign once every eight weeks for a total average treatment time of nine to fifteen months.

Talk to Us About Invisalign

It’s important to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours each day for them to do their job and straighten your teeth. But, with Invisalign, you can remove your aligners for special occasions.

Like with traditional braces, you will generally need to wear a retainer after Invisalign treatment to maintain your new alignment—and your confident new smile.

Invisalign may not be recommended for some complex alignment or bite issues; and Dr. Andrew Leavitt will let you know what options are best for you.
