Seven Things You Should Know about Invisalign®

Most Teens Prefer Invisalign®

If your teen is devoted to their orthodontic care, they must take the necessary steps for successful treatment. Of course, traditional braces are also there, but wearing Invisalign has its perks, as it is fully removable - allowing patients to maintain good dental hygiene and be aware of where their aligners are placed. This way, satisfaction with the process can be achieved.

No Need to Wear 24x7

Using clear aligners that look like complete plastic retainers, Invisalign® straightens teeth. Since teenagers can remove aligners for different reasons, they can be aligner-free for several hours daily. If you want your teen to enjoy a routine without interruption, thanks to the ease of removing Invisalign.

Reduced Rate for Aligner Replacement

Among the most common concerns parents have is that their teen may lose an aligner. The cost of replacing aligners can be reduced if you order them from our dental office. However, we understand that even the most responsible teens can lose an aligner from time to time. Please contact us to learn about replacement rates for the aligner if your teen ever loses it.

Spend Less Time at the Dental Office

Many teenagers don't have time to go to the dentist to straighten their teeth. If you live in Calistoga, CA, we recommend Invisalign Teen® as a convenient option. Invisalign® requires fewer visits to the dentist than traditional orthodontics. Our dental office offers these invisible aligners, so your teen only has to visit us once every four to six weeks. This reduces interruptions to your daily schedule.

Easy Cleaning and Maintenance

We can show your teen how to clean the aligners using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. It is so simple because teens can remove Invisalign while brushing and flossing. However, you should not use toothpaste because that can be abrasive, create scratch marks, and make them stand out. You can use the Invisalign Cleaning System if this doesn't work.

Teens don't Have to Sacrifice Sports

No matter which sports your teen plays, from soccer to football and basketball to lacrosse, injuries to their mouth can be a worry. Unfortunately, with braces, a simple touch on their mouth can result in cuts. At Calistoga Dental Group, we suggest Invisalign Teen®, an alternative to traditional braces for athletic teens, since it eliminates the risk of metal brackets and related injuries. The benefit of Invisalign Teen® is that they can easily remove the aligners whenever they prefer adding a mouthguard.

Reduction in Cavity Risk

You've probably been educating your kids about cavities since they were small, and now Invisalign® is the next step in that education. Braces can make it easier for plaque to develop or food to become stuck, but with Invisalign®, those risks are eliminated due to the aligners being taken off for meals and teeth-brushing. All that needs to be done is reminding them to stick with their usual oral health routine rather than needing to teach them how to use new tools or plan for more intense hygiene.
