Invisalign for Teens in Brooklyn
Any orthodontist will do is not an affirming statement. When it comes to finding Invisalign for teens in Brooklyn, you want the best provider available. Invisalign is a specialized treatment method, using the latest high-tech equipment. Finding a provider that has a proven track record with Invisalign treatment should be a top priority.
How Invisalign Works to Create Perfect Smiles
Invisalign is a system of nearly invisible tray aligners. Using a digital scanning tool, the orthodontist creates a 3D map of the patient’s mouth. A computer program designs and creates a series of tray aligners that are as individual as each patient. A patient receives several sets during each appointment throughout the treatment period.
Each set of trays works to gently shift teeth into the correct alignment. Patients change to a new set of trays approximately every two weeks. Successful treatment relies on the dedication of the patient because the trays are removable.
Although patients should wear the trays from 20 to 22 hours each day, they need to remove the trays for eating and drinking. This makes oral hygiene easier than traditional braces, but forgetting to reinsert the trays after meals can delay treatment. Therefore, teens need to be extra diligent about their treatment.
Advantages of Invisalign for Teens in Brooklyn
Invisalign Teen has a special feature not found on adult Invisalign trays. A color-changing feature allows parents to monitor their teen’s treatment. A series of special dots called compliance indicators will change color when the trays are worn correctly. If the indicators do not change color, a parent will know that their teen is not wearing the trays long enough each day.
Aside from that, Invisalign Teen is exactly like the adult tray aligners. They use SmartTrack material, which makes them durable and comfortable. Each set of trays is custom-fit to work in a series, gently shifting teeth to new positions to straighten smiles.

Because they are nearly invisible, your teen can wear their trays throughout the day without worrying about braces. They can be worn during sports play that doesn’t require special mouth guards. If your teen is self-conscious, the trays can be removed for school picture day and other short-term periods.
Other advantages include a lack of dietary changes and ease of oral hygiene. Your teen doesn’t have to watch the types of foods they eat. No embarrassing moments at teen gatherings where popcorn and chips are the main courses. Without brackets and wires, oral hygiene is easier as your teen can brush and floss normally. Better oral hygiene means less risk of tooth decay, infections, and gum disease during treatment.
