Invisalign for Teens

The Clear Choice for a Confident Smile

Teens need orthodontic solutions that fit seamlessly into their busy lives while delivering the desired results. At Phillips Family Orthodontics, we understand that traditional braces aren’t always the preferred option for teens. That’s where Invisalign comes in—offering a modern, discreet alternative to braces that’s just as effective and much more convenient.

Why Invisalign is the #1 Choice for Teens

Invisalign has quickly become the go-to option for teens who want to straighten their teeth without the visibility of metal braces. But what makes Invisalign so popular among today’s teens?

Aesthetic Appeal
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them an excellent choice for teens with a high standard for their appearance. Whether for school pictures, social media, or just showing off to friends, Invisalign allows teens to smile confidently without the look of traditional braces.
Convenience and Flexibility
Invisalign aligners are removable, which means teens can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, making oral hygiene much more effortless. This flexibility also allows teens to enjoy their favorite foods without worrying about damaging their orthodontic appliances.
Comfort
Invisalign aligners use smooth BPA-free plastic and are more comfortable than metal braces, which can irritate the gums and cheeks. These features make the treatment process less stressful and more enjoyable for teens.

Why Choose Invisalign vs. Braces for Teens

Here’s a side-by-side comparison to help you understand the differences between Invisalign and Braces:

Invisalign:

Appearance: Aligners are nearly invisible, making them a good choice for teens looking to maintain their image.
Comfort: Smooth plastic aligners reduce the likelihood of irritation and discomfort.
Flexibility: Aligners can be removed for meals, brushing, and special occasions.
Maintenance: As a compliance-driven appliance, Invisalign requires your teen to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours daily and keep them clean.

Braces:

Appearance: Metal brackets and wires are more noticeable but can be personalized with colored bands to show personality and character.
Comfort: Braces can cause some discomfort, especially after adjustments, and may irritate the mouth.
Flexibility: Braces are fixed in place. There’s no need to worry about losing them, but they require dietary restrictions.
Maintenance: Braces require diligent cleaning and regular adjustments at the orthodontist’s office.

Ultimately, the choice between Invisalign and braces comes down to what’s most important to your teen—the aesthetic appeal of clear aligners, the flexibility of removing them, or the tried-and-true effectiveness of traditional braces.

Understanding What’s Involved in Invisalign Treatment for Teens

Before starting Invisalign, teens should consider the following:

Commitment is Key:
Invisalign requires wearing the aligners for 20-22 hours a day. If you don’t wear the aligners as directed, treatment can take longer, or the results may be less effective.
Invisalign is Just as Effective as Braces:
For most orthodontic issues, Invisalign is just as effective as traditional braces. Dr. Joseph Phillips will assess your needs to ensure Invisalign is the right choice.
Aligners Need Care:
Clean the aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and clear, anti-bacterial soap. Avoid using toothpaste, which can scratch the aligners.

Our Teenage Patients Share Their Invisalign Tips & Tricks

Who better to offer advice than teens who have gone through the Invisalign process themselves? We asked some teens in our office for advice, and here’s what they suggest:

Whiten as You Go: Whitening throughout treatment can give you a fast track to a beautiful white smile when treatment is complete. There’s no need to wait until you finish to start whitening. Ask Dr. Phillips about what products work best with your aligners.
Always Carry Your Case: Always keep your aligner case with you to prevent losing your aligners when you take them out to eat or drink.
Stay on Schedule: Stick to the aligner schedule provided by Dr. Phillips, or your treatment may be delayed or less effective.

Clean Your Aligners Regularly: Clean them daily to keep them clear and fresh. Also, the cleaner your teeth are, the cleaner the aligners will be. Clean teeth and aligners help prevent bad breath and stains.

  Dr. Phillips and his staff are an amazing group of people. The office is warm and inviting; they quickly acknowledge you as soon as you enter even when the front desk is busy. They really go above and beyond here to ensure you’re more than happy with your results and service.

I had an issue with my retainer and a new one was placed. It was scheduled to be delivered the day before my trip but I wasn’t able to pick it up that day. Dr. Phillips came in early, before the office opened the next day so I could pick up my retainers, especially when he didn’t have to.

Thank you, Dr. Phillips!

  I got my braces today and I’m happy with the outcome, especially since it’s my first time getting braces. Tony and Kiana made the process so easy that I didn’t feel any pain. I’m very satisfied with the result and glad I chose Phillips Family Orthodontics for my teeth! 😁

  Moving to the area, a great dentist is one thing I like to find first, and someone that treats me like a friend rather than another patient is very important, and Dr. Phillips checked all the boxes- and MORE! Not only is he beyond great, he has the BEST staff and one of the most amazing facilities I’ve been too! I couldn’t recommend him more!!

  Very professional and friendly office! When there were options that were for aesthetics only that I wasn’t interested in, Dr. Phillips always answered my questions and didn’t try to pressure me into more treatment than I wanted or needed. I would highly recommend this office to anyone needing orthodontic care!
