You may already know that Invisalign and ClearCorrect braces are great for adults dreaming of a straight smile. But did you know that clear braces may be a great option for your teen?
We don’t have to tell you how important image is to teenagers. Although our kids may not acknowledge it, we were young once, too, and understand what it was like to have a mouth full of metal shining in our yearbook photos! Today’s dental advancements mean your son or daughter can be spared the embarrassment, uncomfortable adjustments, and mouth sores associated with traditional braces.
Clear Braces for Clearly Beautiful Smiles
While you’re thinking about your child’s healthy, beautiful smile, your teen is thinking of sports, Homecoming, Prom, and all the pictures that go along with them! The good news is that Invisalign and ClearCorrect are removable as well as transparent. With Invisalign or ClearCorrect, teens can smile confidently all the way through treatment!
How Do Clear Braces Work?
First, Dr. Walker will take a 3D scan of your teen’s teeth and create a customized treatment plan. A certified dental lab will create a series of clear aligners based on Dr. Walker’s prescription. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks, only removing it to eat and brush. The aligners gently and quickly straighten teeth for a healthy, beautiful smile. Many patients complete treatment within six to twelve months, much sooner than with traditional braces. Best of all, you can see the results as they happen without teeth hidden behind big, bulky brackets.
Straighter Teeth without the Hassle
There are many benefits to the Invisalign and ClearCorrect aligners. Because they are removable, there are no food restrictions- so popcorn and gum are no longer off limits! Without bonded brackets to trap food and work around, brushing is easier, too. Invisalign and ClearCorrect are also much more comfortable to wear. The custom-fit aligners are snug and smooth, eliminating painful abrasions. Forget lengthy adjustments that cut into school and social life! Just wear the aligners as directed and visit our Salt Lake City dental practice about every two months to assure that treatment is on track!
