Invisalign Teen. Wear your best smile with Invisalign Teen.
For teenagers that may prefer a more discreet option than traditional metal braces, Drouin Dental offers Invisalign Teen – the almost invisible alternative to Braces for younger people. Through Invisalign Teen, teeth are gradually moved into place via custom-made clear aligners that are changed every two to three weeks, until the teeth arrive at the desired position.
About Invisalign Teen at Drouin Dental.
At Drouin Dental, we believe every child deserves to wear their best smile. Give your teenager the gift of confidence and watch as they thrive at school, in sports and during social situations. Traditional braces with metal wires and brackets often get in the way of everyday activities, which in turn may incur dental appointments and unpredictable emergencies.
While Invisalign is removable, it is essential that teenagers wear their aligners at the designated time to achieve the desired results. Invisalign Teen is also accompanied by built-in compliance indicators. These indicators will communicate if the patient has been wearing their Invisalign aligners at the appropriate time. This allows the patient, their parents and our team to work together to ensure that we reach the end goal of a perfectly straight smile swiftly and efficiently.
