Back to School with Invisalign® Teen
As the summer winds down and families prepare for the new school year, it’s the perfect time to think about your teen’s smile. At Mergen Orthodontics, our Invisalign® orthodontist in Coralville and Iowa City, IA, offers Invisalign Teen—a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to straighten teeth without the hassle of traditional braces. By scheduling a consultation before classes begin, you can set your teen up for confidence and success all year long.
In the meantime, here’s what you need to know about Invisalign Teen and the many benefits associated with starting your child’s treatment before the school year begins.
Confidence in the Classroom and Beyond
The teenage years are full of social events, class presentations, and photo-worthy moments. Invisalign Teen aligners are virtually invisible, so your teen can smile and speak with confidence without worrying about noticeable brackets or wires.
Whether they’re participating in extracurricular activities or simply hanging out with friends, allows them to feel comfortable and self-assured.
A Flexible Option for Busy Schedules
Between school, sports, and social commitments, teens lead busy lives. Invisalign clear aligners offer the flexibility they need. The aligners can be removed for meals, special occasions, and sports practices.
This means fewer restrictions on what they can eat and more freedom to enjoy favorite activities. Plus, there are typically fewer in-office visits compared to traditional braces, making it easier for parents to keep up with their own busy schedules.
Easy Oral Hygiene During a Hectic School Year
Maintaining proper oral hygiene can be tricky with braces, but Invisalign aligners make it simple. Your teen can remove them to brush and floss as they normally would, reducing the risk of cavities and gum issues. This convenience means they can keep their smile healthy throughout the school year without extra effort, which is a huge relief for both parents and teens.
Customized Treatment for the Best Results
At Mergen Orthodontics, we tailor every Invisalign Teen treatment plan to your child’s unique needs. Using advanced technology, we can show you the expected progress and end results before treatment begins. The aligners are designed with precision to move teeth effectively, and compliance indicators help ensure your teen stays on track with their wear time.
Why Now Is the Perfect Time
Starting before the school year begins gives your child time to adjust to wearing the aligners and develop a routine. By the time picture day or homecoming rolls around, they’ll already be comfortable with the process. Scheduling a consultation now also means you can address any concerns early and avoid the scheduling conflicts that come with a busy academic calendar.
