Invisalign can be a great option for both teens and adults who can follow the plan and wear their aligners. For parents worried that their teen might not stick with the program, there’s a little blue dot on the aligner in a discreet place. It can tell you or your teen if they’re not wearing the aligner enough. Paying attention to this, especially early on, can help you or your teen develop good aligner wearing habits. If you despise the idea of wearing metal braces to school, work, or on a date, then Invisalign may be a good alternative for you. If you play contact sports for which metal braces are not advisable, Invisalign offers an alternative there as well. Invisalign is FDA approved for straightening teeth. But it won’t work for every mouth. So we take special care to review your unique smile situation to make sure you’re a good candidate for the treatment. If you’re not, Dr. Mike will sit down with you and the two of you can explore other possibilities to reach your smile goals.
