At Clear Orthodontic Studio, we deal with growing patients every day, so we understand it’s like to be a teenager. Teenage years are awesome, so if you are not keen on having braces, why not find out whether aligners can work for you?!
That’s why we’re so excited to use our Spark and Invisalign aligners expertise for our teenage patients.
Is Spark / Invisalign suitable for Teens?
Yes, they’re just as effective at treating teens as it is for adults, and in some cases also for an early interceptive treatment.
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. In reality teens snack less often (including coffees) and also stay out less at night than adults, and therefore the compliance is in average the same and occasionally better.
Will parents have to remind their teen constantly to wear them?
Parents know their kids best. Research actually shows that parents have nothing to worry about, teens 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.
