At Clear Orthodontic Studio, we deal with growing patients every day, so we know what it’s like to be a teenager. Teenage years are awesome, but they can also be the most awkward and challenging, especially if you are not keen on having to wear braces!
That’s why we’re so excited to share Invisalign and Spark with our teenage patients.
Is Spark / Invisalign suitable for Teens?
Yes, they’re just as effective at treating teens as it is for adults.
We find that many parents worry about whether their teens will be compliant enough to wear the aligners as prescribed for 22 hours a day to achieve the best results.
Will parents have to nag their teen constantly to wear them?
Parents know their kids best. Research actually shows that parents have nothing to worry about. Teens on average wear their aligners for exactly the recommended amount of time and are on average more compliant than adults!
Benefits of Spark and Invisalign for Teens
Parents and teens often have different opinions on which orthodontic treatment is best. The parents want what is most beneficial for their children, while the teenagers are usually more concerned with what looks good! If suitable, with Spark / Invisalign, you can have the best of both worlds:
Great results – Planned properly, if suitable, Spark and Invisalign can be just as effective as traditional braces at straightening teeth.
Improved self-confidence – The aligners are virtually invisible when fitted over teeth, so teens can smile freely without feeling self-conscious.
The same lifestyle – Since the aligners are removable, teens can still enjoy their favourite foods, sports, and musical instruments.
Easy oral hygiene – Unlike braces, aligners won’t get in the way of brushing or flossing.
