Invisalign Teen works the same as Invisalign for adults. Invisalign Teen can address and treat all of the same bite issues that normal braces can correct, including:
During your child's complimentary consultation, Dr. Muench will examine your child's bite, take 3D digital X-rays, and digital photos. This comprehensive evaluation will help Dr. Muench determine if Invisalign Teen is right for your child. While not all teenagers are candidates for Invisalign, many mild to moderate bite problems can be treated with clear aligner therapy.
Dr. Muench is dedicated to providing the highest quality of orthodontic care for his patients, and that means choosing the treatment that will give your child the best smile results and the most functional bite.
At Muench Orthodontics, we are proud to have achieved the distinction of Invisalign Silver+ Provider due to the advanced training and number of patients we've treated with Invisalign. It is with this philosophy of excellence that we strive to help all our patients achieve their dream smiles with the latest orthodontic treatments, including Invisalign.
1. Virtually invisible: Invisalign Teen aligners are transparent, making them nearly invisible when worn. Your teen can smile confidently without worrying about metal brackets and wires.
2. Removable: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign Teen aligners are removable, allowing your child to eat their favorite foods without restrictions. They can also maintain their oral hygiene routine with ease.
3. Unobtrusive: Invisalign Teen aligners are custom-made to fit comfortably over your teen's teeth without causing irritation or discomfort. They are designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, so your child can focus on enjoying their everyday activities.
4. Low-maintenance: Keeping Invisalign Teen aligners clean is simple. Your teen can easily remove and clean the aligners, ensuring good oral hygiene and minimizing the risk of plaque buildup or tooth decay.
5. Comfortable: Invisalign Teen aligners are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic, providing a comfortable fit that reduces the chances of mouth abrasions or discomfort.
At Muench Orthodontics, we believe your teen will achieve the best results from Invisalign Teen treatment by following a few simple guidelines on how to care for the aligners throughout the course of treatment. These tips will help your teen keep their aligners in excellent condition and retain their translucency:
1. Rinse: Have your teen rinse their aligners with lukewarm water every time they remove them from their mouth. This helps remove saliva and prevents the buildup of bacteria.
2. Soak: Encourage your teen to soak their aligners daily using the recommended Invisalign cleaning crystals or denture cleaner. This helps remove any stubborn plaque or stains.
3. Brush: Instruct your teen to brush their aligners gently with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. This will help keep the aligners clean and fresh.
4. Clean Aligners on Clean Teeth: Before reinserting the aligners, ensure your teen brushes and flosses their teeth thoroughly. This will prevent any food particles or debris from being trapped between the aligners and teeth.
At Muench Orthodontics, we work tirelessly to ensure the best outcome for our patients and the most pleasant experience possible. We stand behind our work and make sure every patient is completely satisfied with their new smile.
