Invisalign Teen® uses the same Invisalign® technology as adult aligners, moving teeth gradually with each set of clear, comfortable plastic aligners. But because teens (and their mouths) are constantly on the move, we’ve added a few special features.
Benefits that make it a great choice.
- Invisalign Teen® aligners are comfortable and smooth, so it’s easy for you to keep doing the things you want, like football, soccer, field hockey, and basketball. Or play the oboe!
- Invisalign Teen® is practically invisible. Hang out with your friends, get in photos, and, of course, smile… confidently.
- No forbidden foods. Because your aligners are removable, you can eat whatever you want – pizza, popcorn…even chew gum! Plus, you can brush and floss normally.
- Made of smooth plastic, Invisalign® aligners easily snap onto your teeth and move them in small increments. You don’t have the discomfort or irritation that can be associated with braces.
- Average treatment takes about a year. Your treatment can begin even if you don’t have all of your adult teeth. Invisalign® allows for your growing permanent teeth.
- Invisalign® aligners are replaceable if lost. You get up to six free individual aligners.
The main steps of your treatment with Dr. Romani:
- Meet with Dr. Romani for a free consultation with an Invisalign® expert. Find out if Invisalign® is right for you.
- 3D digital scans of your teeth will be taken using the i-CAT FLX Imaging System, the first of its kind in Rhode Island. Using less than 1/2 the radiation of traditional radiographs (x-rays), it enables Dr. Romani to precisely plan your tooth movements from the beginning to the end of your treatment.
- Custom aligners will be made to fit your teeth. Wear your aligners about 20 to 22 hours everyday, except to eat, brush, and floss, or go to a special event.
- Approximately every 10-14 days, trade your old aligners for new ones. The aligners will gently move your teeth until they are in their final prescribed position—your perfect new smile.
