  • 3 WAYS TO KNOW IF INVISALIGN IS RIGHT FOR YOUR TEEN

    By admin 01/07/2019

    At Eckels Orthodontics, offering clear aligners is an important treatment option for patients, especially teenagers. When indicated by a trained orthodontist, Invisalign, the leading clear aligner brand, can provide teens with the beautiful straight teeth they’ve always wanted — without braces.

     

    A consultation with an orthodontist is the only way to know for sure whether it’s the appropriate treatment option, but understanding the benefits of Invisalign can help you make a decision as to whether it could be the right fit for your teen:

    1. They’re Completely Clear: Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. No closed-lipped selfies here! If your teen is self-conscious about his or her appearance in photos, Invisalign could be the right choice.
    2. They’re a Confidence Booster: A recent study found that teens wearing Invisalign are twice as likely to experience a boost in self-esteem while in treatment than teens treated with metal braces.
    3. They’re Removable: Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing your teen to eat and drink whatever they’d like while in treatment- and play certain sports more easily.

     

    And here’s a benefit for parents: With Invisalign there won’t be any brackets to become loose or broken, so there are potentially fewer emergency visits to the orthodontist, and fewer interruptions to your busy schedule!

    At our practice we strive to provide the highest quality orthodontic treatment but also ensure Incredible customer service and make you feel like you’re at home while you’re visiting us. We’re the friendliest, most fun orthodontic office around AND we’re the only office in the area to have the distinction of being an Invisalign Diamond Provider – that means we’ve treated thousands of cases and have the experience to treat even the toughest orthodontic issues with Invisalign. You can’t go wrong with Dr. Scott Eckels and Dr. Golnaz Kavand.

    Come by  to meet us and the entire staff to see what we mean! If you are interested in Invisalign for yourself or your teen child, click below to book a complimentary consultation. No pressure. Just answers!
