We stay at the forefront of dental technology to provide your child with the most advanced care available. Invisalign® clear aligners represent a revolutionary shift in orthodontics, moving away from traditional metal and wires toward a digital, patient-centered experience. Today, Invisalign is the treatment of choice for millions of patients worldwide, offering a sophisticated and effective alternative to conventional braces.
A Modern Revolution in Teeth Straightening
The adoption of Invisalign has grown exponentially because it solves the most common frustrations of traditional orthodontics. It is no longer just a “cosmetic” option; it is a groundbreaking clinical tool that uses proprietary SmartTrack® material and 3D computer imaging to move teeth with unprecedented precision.
Why Patients are Choosing Invisalign
The widespread shift toward clear aligners is driven by the significant lifestyle advantages they offer:
-
Virtually Invisible: The state-of-the-art clear plastic is so discreet that most people won’t even notice your child is undergoing orthodontic treatment.
-
Ultimate Dietary Freedom: Because aligners are removable, there are zero food restrictions. Your child can continue to enjoy their favorite healthy snacks and treats without fear of damaging their appliance.
-
Superior Oral Hygiene: Invisalign allows for normal brushing and flossing, leading to much healthier gums and cleaner teeth compared to patients with traditional brackets.
-
Maximum Comfort: The smooth, custom-molded plastic eliminates the discomfort of sharp metal, making it the preferred choice for athletes and active children.
-
Fewer Office Visits: Modern Invisalign protocols often allow for longer intervals between check-ups, saving busy families valuable time.
Specialized Invisalign Options
We utilize this groundbreaking technology to treat patients at different developmental stages:
-
Invisalign First: A preventative breakthrough for growing children (Phase 1), designed to expand the arch and make room for permanent teeth.
-
Invisalign for Teens: Tailored for the teenage lifestyle, featuring “compliance indicators” to track wear time and ensuring a perfect fit even as new molars erupt.
The Digital Experience: iTero Technology
In keeping with this high-tech approach, we use the iTero Digital Scanner. This eliminates the need for messy, old-fashioned “goop” impressions. We can show your child a 3D simulation of their final smile in real-time, allowing them to see their results before they even start their first tray.
Considerations for Success
As a patient-driven treatment, success relies on commitment:
-
Wear Time: Aligners must be worn 22 hours a day to stay on track with the groundbreaking digital plan.
-
Case Selection: While Invisalign is more powerful than ever, our specialists will evaluate your child’s specific needs to ensure they are the right candidate for this modern technology.
