Invisalign for Teens in Mission Viejo
Invisalign® Teen Clear Aligners
Invisalign Teen uses custom-made, clear aligners designed specifically for teenagers. The aligners fit comfortably over the teeth and are usually changed every two weeks to gradually guide teeth into the correct position.
Invisalign Teen is ideal for teens who want to straighten their teeth without traditional braces. The aligners are removable and nearly invisible, allowing teens to eat normally and brush and floss with ease. Office visits typically occur every 6 to 10 weeks, with average treatment lasting between 6 and 15 months. Consistent wear is essential for successful results.
When to Consider Invisalign for Teens
Understand when it’s time to consider Invisalign for your teenager:
- Visible teeth crookedness or misalignment
- Difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene with standard braces
- Teen expresses self-consciousness about their smile
- Need for a less noticeable orthodontic treatment
- Issues with biting or chewing efficiently
- Previous dental treatments not yielding desired results
How Invisalign Teen Treatment Works
1. Free Consultation
A relaxed visit to determine if Invisalign Teen is a good fit. We evaluate your teen’s smile, answer questions, and review treatment costs and payment options.
2. Digital Scans and ClinCheck® Plan
We take impressions or scans of the teeth. Invisalign creates a detailed 3D treatment plan that maps out each stage of tooth movement.
3. Virtual Treatment Review
Your orthodontist reviews and adjusts the plan to ensure predictable, effective results from start to finish.
4. Custom Aligners
Once approved, custom aligners are made. Aligners are worn 20 to 22 hours per day and switched every two weeks.
5. Progress Visits
Quick check-ups every six to eight weeks to track progress and receive the next set of aligners. Small tooth-colored attachments may be added if needed.
6. Refinements
If additional fine-tuning is needed near the end of treatment, extra aligners are provided at no additional cost.
7. Retainers
After treatment, fixed and removable retainers help maintain results. The removable retainer is typically worn at night.
8. Follow-Up Care
Treatment includes up to two years of follow-up visits to ensure long-term success and address any concerns.
