Invisalign® : A Teen-Age Dream!

Who doesn’t want beautiful, straight teeth? And now, with Invisalign® it is possible for both teenagers and adults to have a great smile without the discomfort and embarrassment of metal braces.

Rather than metal wires and brackets, Invisalign® uses clear, sturdy, custom-made plastic aligner trays. Little by little, these high-tech aligners exert gentle pressure that moves teeth into their correct position.

How Effective Is Invisalign®?

For correcting common teeth-straightening issues, Invisalign® for teens in the hands of a certified provider like Dr. Zuroff can be as effective as traditional braces. Problems such as overbite, underbite, overcrowding and gaps between the teeth can be solved, and because of the barely-there effect of Invisalign® it won’t be obvious to others that you are straightening your teeth.

Being a teen-ager can be hard enough without the added emotional pressure of feeling self-conscious because of crooked teeth. Invisalign® teen is the perfect solution for restoring self-confidence to your teen’s smile.

Priceless…

A picture is definitely worth a thousand words when it comes to demonstrating the effectiveness of Invisalign®, but we feel the results are actually priceless. Take a look at how Invisalign® straightened the smiles of some of our actual teen patients.

Why Should You Choose Invisalign®?

What are some of the other advantages of Invisalign® for teens?

• The aligners are removable. They can be removed for class and prom photos, sports, and band practice. Brushing and flossing are easy with removable trays so maintaining proper oral care is a cinch.
• There are no food restrictions. Popcorn, hard candies, ice and raw foods can be a problem with metal braces, not so with Invisalign. Your teen can eat whatever they like.
• Treatment time and cost is the same. Invisalign® and metal braces take about the same amount of time to finish the process and cost about the same amount.
• Less visits to the dentist. You don’t need to visit the dentist for tightening your braces. Every 2 weeks or so you will switch to the next aligner tray in your treatment’s graduated series and you will visit the dentist about every four to six weeks.
• Invisalign® treatment is covered by most insurance plans.
