is your teen wanting straighter teeth but hesitant to wear braces?
If so, Invisalign may be the clear choice!
Due to developing jaws and facial growth, the early teen years are often the most ideal time for correcting common orthodontic problems. For responsible teens wanting to improve their smile and oral health more discreetly, Invisalign Teen is fast becoming the norm over traditional braces.
Is your teen a good candidate for Invisalign?
Very important question. If choosing Invisalign, your child will need to be responsible enough to fully participate in their treatment, have the self-discipline to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours each day, and have the ability to keep track of their aligners. We have found that if your teen is committed to improving their smile, they are more likely to remember to wear their aligners, prioritize going to their appointments, and have great success with Invisalign.
But if the aligners are not worn exactly as prescribed, they will not work. For this reason, it is important to consider the responsibility level and overall personality of your child to determine if wearing removable braces is the best choice for them. If you are uncertain that your child would follow through with everything required, traditional braces are likely a better option.
In our office, we have treated many teen Invisalign patients who have proven to be incredibly responsible, wearing their aligners exactly as prescribed and getting amazing results while enjoying all the benefits clear removable aligners offer. At your consultation, Dr. DiGiovanni will go over the specifics of what your treatment entails and help you make the right decision to get the best result possible.
Invisalign Teen is an advanced and effective orthodontic system similar to regular Invisalign, with subtle differences that have been engineered to accommodate the needs of growing patients. In our practice, we have treated many teenagers who’ve successfully worn Invisalign to get the most beautiful, healthy smile. As a top 1% Invisalign Doctor and Invisalign Instructor at USC, no orthodontist or dentist in Southern California has more experience and knowledge of the Invisalign system and proper indications for teens than Dr. DiGiovanni.

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT TEENS AND INVISALIGN
MYTH #1: “It costs more than braces”
It doesn’t – Invisalign Teen typically costs the same as traditional braces, and if you have orthodontic insurance, it may cover a portion of the fee. We offer in-house financing options at no interest to help make your treatment more affordable, including discounts for those who pay in full upfront and for multiple family members receiving treatment. Our treatment coordinator will help you find a comfortable payment plan that works with your family’s budget. We believe no patient should ever have to lose out on orthodontic treatment that will make a positive difference in their lives due to finances.
MYTH #2: “It doesn’t work as well as braces.”
Not true. As long as teens wear their aligners 20-22 hours per day, Invisalign is a highly effective and efficient treatment with results as good as you would get with braces. In our office, we treat teens with mild-to-severe cases of underbite, overbite, overcrowding, and gaps between teeth. Many teens use Invisalign for their second phase of braces. Regardless of what is needed, an orthodontic specialist, such as Dr. DiGiovanni, is capable of utilizing Invisalign’s 3D technology to its full potential to align your teeth.
MYTH #3: “It’s more difficult to keep up with.”
NO MYTH HERE… it definitely is difficult. The removable aspect of Invisalign is challenging, and if the aligners aren’t worn as prescribed, they won’t work. Success with Invisalign is completely dependent on your teen’s cooperation. Is he/she committed to the responsibility that is required for success with Invisalign? Commitment to wearing the aligners for a minimum of 20–22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking, or brushing teeth, is required for the entire treatment. This idea may not seem that daunting at first, but removing the aligners every time something is eaten, then cleaning their teeth and the aligners and putting them back in takes effort and organizational skills. However, for the right patient, Invisalign can be the perfect fit for your teen and their lifestyle. At your consultations, Dr. DiGiovanni will help you determine which treatment modality best suits your child’s individual needs. We look forward to guiding your smile transformation; it’s what we love!
