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!

is the way to be!

Who Knew So Many Celebrities Had Invisalign?


Some people are blessed with perfectly straight teeth and never have to undergo braces or Invisalign®, but the majority of people need orthodontic treatment.   Believe it or not, even celebrities aren't born with perfect pearly whites. With the wide range of orthodontic treatment available today, everyone is in on the Invisalign® trend—Even celebrities! These stars take advantage of these virtually invisible aligners because they are constantly in the media and the public eye. Katherine Heigl, a proud user of Invisalign said, "...it's awesome because every week I get to switch to a new aligner. Pretty much the perfect way to describe Invisalign is Netflix for your teeth." 

The good news is that a Hollywood smile makeover isn't just for the rich and famous, you too can get a perfect smile! If cost is the main concern, you can rest assured that one of our highly trained Treatment Coordinators will cover payment plans, insurance matters, and appointment scheduling with you before treatment begins so the experience is convenient and comfortable for you.

Even Justin Bieber had Invisalign.

Experience The Invisalign Difference With Nearly Invisible Braces!



With Invisalign® clear braces, straightening crooked teeth with the use of nearly-invisible aligners makes it possible to kick the traditional metal-and-wires method to the curb. The clear alternative of Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® have become a solution in cosmetic dentistry for both adults and teenagers that want beautiful straight teeth, but dread the embarrassment and downsides of having a mouthful of metal, wires, and brackets. For instance, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want, when you want while in treatment as well as brush and floss without any problems. 

There are many benefits of Invisalign®:

·     Invisalign is comfortable and made of a smooth, 
     clear, FDA approved material with no brackets or
     wires to cause mouth abrasions during treatment.
·    You spend less time in the office getting
    adjustments.
·     Healthier teeth with less chance of plaque, decay
    and gum disease. Unlike with metal braces, the
    aligners can be removed for eating, flossing,
    and brushing, or going to a special event.
·     If you lose an aligner, Invisalign Teen will provide
    you with up to 6 free individual aligner replacements.
    *Invisalign Teen only
