Our teen patients
We are proud to be Diamond Plus Invisalign Providers, and the top Invisalign Invisalign Teen® provider in Brevard County.
We offer Invisalign® Teen for young adults who want to straighten their teeth and improve their bite while looking their best. Invisalign technology is the invisible force that works gently, but persistently, to align teeth for a healthy and radiant smile.
for teens?
Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible and undetectable when they’re in place. This modern form of invisible braces is made of BPA-free, latex-free, high-quality, custom-made plastic.
Whatever your teen’s day holds—school, work, professional events, hanging with friends—they can smile confidently throughout the day while their clear aligners perfect their smile in secret.
Invisalign aligners are specially designed for comfort. They’re made of SmartTrack® material, a plastic engineered exclusively for Invisalign. This material makes it easy to take the aligners out and place them back in as you need throughout the day.
Your teen’s aligners will be custom-made to fit his or her smile perfectly, so they shouldn’t cause irritation around the cheeks or gums.
One of the major benefits of Invisalign – all of your favorite foods are still on the table! Your teen’s clear aligners are removable, so he or she can take them out to eat food, drink beverages, brush their teeth, and floss their teeth. Invisalign won’t require your teen to adjust their eating habits or their oral hygiene routine.
How do I know if my teen is a
candidate for Invisalign?
If you aren’t sure whether Invisalign is right for your teen, we encourage you to request a free orthodontic exam with us. Dr. Caudill, Dr. McNeight or Dr. Naglieri will examine your teen’s smile, take x-rays and diagnostic photos, and discuss you and your teen’s goals and concerns.
We can treat a range of common orthodontic problems with Invisalign, including:
- Crowding
- Crooked teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Bite misalignments (overbites, underbites, open bites, cross bites)
If your teen isn’t happy with his or her smile, we can create a customized treatment plan that helps them love their smile. Every teen deserves to feel confident!
How does Invisalign Teen work?
Using iTero scanning technology, our orthodontists will make quick, precise 3-D impressions of your child’s teeth to begin the Invisalign process. These impressions will be used to create their custom treatment plan with Invisalign Teen.
You’ll receive a set of custom aligners: one for your top teeth and one for your bottom teeth. Every week, your teen will switch out his or her current set of aligners to wear a new set, and every 10 to 12 weeks, you’ll visit our office to receive new sets of aligners.
Each set of Invisalign Teen aligners is custom-made to shift teeth closer to the ideal alignment. Your teen will wear aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours a day.
With every new set of Invisalign aligners, your teen is one step closer to a beautiful, healthy smile!
How long does Invisalign take?
The average case with Invisalign takes a similar amount of time as braces. Although this varies depending depending on the initial condition, we always strive to complete treatment in 18 months or less. To experience the most effective and efficient treatment period, you must wear your aligners as instructed. You will keep your aligners in place for at least 20 to 22 hours a day. If you don’t wear your aligners as frequently as your orthodontist instructs, your treatment period will be longer.
