The rhythm of our sons' and daughters' lives is full of adventures, between classes, sports and social activities. In this daily hustle and bustle, the last thing parents and children want is for orthodontic treatment to become a hassle and constant emergency visits. At Clínica Áureo we understand that their comfort and oral health is key to achieving a good final result, which is why we are committed to Invisalign First and Invisalign Teen invisible orthodontics, two effective solutions specifically designed to correct the smiles of growing children and adolescents from an early age.
Invisalign First: Invisible orthodontics for little ones
Invisalign First is designed to align the teeth of the youngest children between the ages of 6 and 10, when they still have baby teeth or are in the mixed dentition phase. This option corrects problems such as crowding, interdental spaces, crossbites, and anomalies in the morphology and position of the facial bones, ensuring a balanced and healthy development of the facial structure. It adapts to the natural growth of the mouth and the eruption process of the permanent teeth. Being a practical and comfortable solution, it allows children to perform their daily activities such as eating, playing or practicing sports, without complications or additional discomfort.
Invisalign Teen: Designed for the teen lifestyle
For teenagers, Invisalign Teen is the ideal solution. We know that this stage is full of constant changes and activities, so a discreet and comfortable orthodontic treatment is crucial. This system not only corrects alignments and bite problems, but also adapts to dental growth at this stage. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign Teen offers greater freedom by allowing teens to remove aligners at those events and social activities that they consider very important. In addition, it includes wear indicators, small blue marks on the aligners that fade over time, allowing us, parents and orthodontists, to verify that orthodontic treatment is progressing properly.
In both cases, for orthodontic treatment to be successful, aligners must be worn for the recommended amount of time (between 20 and 22 hours a day). It is essential for parents to motivate their children to be responsible and to follow a proper oral hygiene routine to avoid problems such as caries or tartar accumulation. This is a simple task that Invisalign aligners, unlike traditional braces, allow them to carry out, since they can be easily removed to brush and floss their teeth.
What is the difference between Invisalign First and Invisalign Teen?
- • Age: Invisalign First is intended for children ages 6 to 10, while Invisalign Teen is for adolescents ages 11 to 19.
- • Teething stage: Invisalign First corrects problems in the mixed dentition stage (with baby teeth and permanent teeth), while Invisalign Teen focuses on mouths with permanent teeth.
- • Special features: Invisalign Teen includes wear indicators and extra space for developing molars, allowing for optimal adaptation to dental growth during adolescence. In addition, it offers greater flexibility, as they can be removed at important times.
