I get a lot of questions about Invisalign Teen. Both Pam and I have been treated with Invisalign aligners. It was so easy and comfortable and totally invisible. I have been an Invisalign provider since it started and was asked to be an “alpha doctor” for the company to help develop the product. I have treated hundreds of patients with Invisalign and believe that Invisalign will be the main delivery system of the future.
Invisalign Teen is a new product for teenagers. Orthodontist were concerned that teenagers would not be compliant enough for the system to work. Invisalign has developed compliance indicators that change colors if the appliance is worn enough. Now parents can tell if they are getting their money’s worth. We can always switch to metal braces if Invisalign is not doing the job. Googling Invisalign will get a zillion hits . McCombs Orthodontics filmed a short piece for YouTube and can be seen here or on our web site. We are going through a time when cool color braces are still popular but as teenagers get older they want to look their very best and are turning to easy and more comfortable clear aligners. So ask us about Invisalign Teen.
I was wondering about compliance when I heard about all this.
Interesting article Mike.
