Invisalign Teen in Prosper

Extra Care for Aligners

Teens with over or underbites, rotated, crooked teeth, or spacing issues (overcrowding or gapped teeth) may qualify for Invisalign Teen. Just like the adult version, Invisalign Teen can correct teeth in less than 2 years! We see teenage patients with their parents at the consultation stage of the process to discuss how ready the teen is for this type of orthodontic treatment.

Many parents express their worries about their son or daughter not following through with treatment because it is removable, or the aligner may get lost. Our staff is prepared to answer any questions you may have and explain why Invisalign Teen is such a great product for this age group.

Invisalign vs. Invisalign Teen

Dr. Bietsch understands that some parents may be wary of allowing their teen to take full responsibility and care for their aligners. Due to the investment, time, and money that goes into Invisalign treatments, we make it easier for your child to achieve beautiful results with the following:

• Compliance indicators: Dr. Bietsch will be able to tell if the teen is not wearing the aligners long enough or if he or she is not wearing them at all, due to the spot on the back part of the appliance. Keeping them accountable will ensure a solid schedule and routine.
• Eruption tabs: Since the patients are teens, they will most likely still have in their final molars or "wisdom teeth." With eruption tabs, we can leave space for the final molars so none of your teeth will be susceptible to overcrowding. Traditional Invisalign aligners do not come with this feature.
• Extra replacement aligners: In cases of emergencies, we offer 6 replacement aligners in your teen’s treatment plan. We understand that accidents happen and Dr. Bietsch is just a call or an office visit away.

What Are the Benefits?

Invisalign Teen makes life with orthodontics so much simpler. There are ultimately zero food restrictions and teeth can be brushed and flossed as normal. Don't want your aligners in all your special photos? Take it out to snap your school or prom pictures. Anxious about playing in the big game with a sports guard and an aligner in your mouth? Keep it in the case until your activity is over!

Life doesn't have to stop for braces and with Invisalign Teen, you get the best of both worlds: invisible and removable.
