Calling All Teenagers!

Let Dr. Boggan and Invisalign Teen® help you achieve your goal with the virtual invisibility of clear aligners. Most teens that have or have had Invisalign Teen said they were motivated to wear Invisalign Teen because there is virtually no impact to everyday lives. Although it’s not necessary, teens appreciate the convenient option to remove the aligners for milestone events, such as prom, senior portraits and musical performances.

Invisalign Teen® has its own built-in tracking system, which is an easy way to insure you’ve been wearing your aligners for the right amount of time. The aligners have blue “wear indicators” on the inside of the aligners. The dots are specifically designed to wear down according to how long the aligners are worn. Depending on how visible the blue dots are at the end of the 2 weeks allows Dr. Boggan to determine how long you’ve worn the aligners and assure you’ve been compliant and also to insure the treatment course stays on track.

During Invisalign Teen treatment, teenagers can keep up with their active lifestyle, play sports, and smile with confidence during social activities. Traditional braces often carry a stigma of being unattractive and noticeable, leaving teens feeling self-conscious and less likely to smile. Also, traditional wire and bracket braces present challenges for proper brushing and flossing, contributing to food and plaque build-up in the mouth. Invisalign Teen aligners are easy to remove, they promote better oral hygiene and require less emergency visits due to broken brackets, whereas Invisalign Teen provides six extra replacement aligners in case others are lost or misplaced.

Advantages of Invisalign Teen vs. braces:

·         Allows you to eat whatever foods you like.

·         Removable aligners for special events.

·         Virtually invisible

·         Allows you to brush and floss your teeth normally for better periodontal health.

·         Consists of smooth, comfortable plastic instead of metal that is more likely to irritate your cheeks and gums.

·          Less office visits

·         *Invisalign Teen provides up to six free replacement aligners if lost or broken.

At the end of treatment the results appear the same, but when

you actually stop and compare Invisalign Teen® to other 

teeth-straightening options, the benefits of Invisalign Teen are 

easily noticeable. Both braces and Invisalign straighten your 

teeth, both treat a wide variety of cases (crowding, spacing,

crossbite, overbite, and underbite), and at Dr. Boggan’s office 

Invisalign Teen is the same cost as braces. But as a teenager

you have school, sports and hanging out with friends to be 

concerned about. We want you to have the confidence of a 

great smile without experiencing some of the things that 

come with traditional braces.

·         Discomfort and mouth sores caused by wires.

·         Tooth decay and plaque buildup caused by inadequate

                   brushing and flossing.

             ·         Bracket breakage

             ·         Difficulty eating

             ·         Personal sacrifices from eating certain foods—popcorn, 

                   chips, bagels, hard-crusted bread, pizza crust, pretzels,

                   nuts, candy and also apples, carrots, corn on the cob. 

Let’s face it! Invisalign Teen is the best way to go!
