Let's face it, with school, sports and hanging out with friends, having metal braces wires and brackets posed isn't at the top of your child's or teen's favorite things to do.
Same for adults. Business meetings, talking to customers or simply havving lunch with friends, a mouth full of metal is not at the top of your list either.
A child's smile grows with him. The ideal time to start orthodontic treatment can be between 6 and 10 years, even if the child still has baby teeth. The objective of phase 1 treatment is the development of young jaws and / or dental arches in order to create space for the teeth present and the permanent teeth which are still to grow.
Conventional devices are generally used in phase 1 treatment. Thanks to the latest innovations in Invisalign® First technology, you now have other treatment options.
While many of the benefits are the same, Invisalign® Teen is distinguished by several new clinical features, such as compliance indicators and free aligners replacement (up to six per treatment).
The compliance indicators located on the upper aligner allow you to estimate the approximate time your teenager is wearing his aligners. The indicators are designed to fade from blue to light as a gauge of the approximate wear time, so that you can easily monitor your child's cooperation.
Using a series of transparent and removable aligners, replaced regularly, Invisalign gradually moves your teeth to give you the smile you've always dreamed of.
The innovative technology of the Invisalign® treatment, without ring or wire, allows you to straighten your teeth almost invisible. More than 10 million patients like you have an exquisite smile thanks to Invisalign®. It's your turn to join them.
Invisalign, metal braces or any other orthodontic appliance are just tools. They all have their limitations, but they don't treat patients, the dentist does. In the hand of a skilled practitioner and when worn according to the dentist's recommendation, Invisalign is as effective (sometimes more) as the traditional methods for many types of treatment.
Dre. Christine Hindie completed her certification with Invisalign in 2004 and in 2008 achieved Invisalign Preferred Provider Premier status to join the ranks of the most experienced providers of Invisalign. Her patients, Kids, Teens and Adults, thus benefit from a comfortable and virtually invisible orthodontic treatment without the use of metal wires and brackets, an Invisalign treatment.
