Dr. Bethany and Dr. Liz are Your Certified Invisalign Teen Providers in Hilliard, OH
Many teens who come to Scioto Orthodontics aren’t excited about the idea of having braces, until they realize that Invisalign Teen may be an option!
Invisalign Teen works exactly the same way that Invisalign works for adults, but with a couple of perks! Invisalign Teen is designed with features to accommodate teeth that haven't fully erupted, compliance indicators to help you monitor your wear-time, and discounts on replacement aligners in case you accidentally lose track of one!
Getting Invisalign Teen at Scioto Orthodontics
At Scioto Orthodontics, Invisalign treatment begins with a digital scan of your mouth, rather than the old-fashioned traditional Invisalign impressions. Digital scans produce more accurate representations of your teeth, which lead to more accurate and better-fitting aligners. Plus, you get to avoid the gooey impression material!
Drs. Bethany and Liz make a point of customizing each and every Invisalign treatment plan. We never simply delegate this task to the technicians, but rather, we always ensure that your aligners are designed to do precisely what we have planned.
Once you receive your aligners, we recommend visits more frequently at the beginning of your treatment, approximately every four to six weeks. As you become more confident and competent with your aligners, we may be able to extend the time between visits to every six to eight weeks.
Just like traditional Invisalign treatment, the length of time of your treatment depends on the amount of correction that your teeth need. Dr. Bethany or Dr. Liz will be happy to evaluate your smile in person and give you an idea of your unique treatment plan, including the timeline.
Smile Success with Invisalign Teen
The most important factor that determines success with Invisalign Teen is you! You need to be reliable about wearing your aligners for the proper number of hours, responsible for not losing or misplacing aligners during treatment, and dedicated to following the recommendations for keeping teeth clean during aligner treatment.
You will need to wear your aligners for approximately 22 hours per day, see Drs. Bethany and Liz for your regularly scheduled visits at our Hilliard orthodontic office, and be sure to follow all hygiene instructions.
Tips for Treatment
-
When you're first beginning, it's a good idea to track the number of hours you're wearing your aligners. Without keeping an accurate record, you may not realize how often the aligners are out for meals, etc. As you get used to the schedule, you may be able to skip the tracking.
-
Never eat or drink anything other than cool or room temperature water with your aligners! When you're done eating, rinse your mouth or brush your teeth before replacing your aligners. This will help you avoid cavities and stains on your teeth.
-
Be patient when you're waiting to see results! It will be worth the effort soon!
At Scioto Orthodontics, we're dedicated to giving you the personalized attention that you need to get from start to finish. Your great result is our goal! Contact our Hilliard orthodontic office to schedule your Invisalign Teen consultation today!
