Wondering if Invisalign is right for you or your teenager? Many of our Scottsdale patients have questions about clear aligners and how well they work for different age groups.

The answer is that Invisalign treatment benefits adults and teens and offers many benefits you might not have considered.

Why Teens Love Invisalign

The teen years can be challenging enough without adding metal braces to the mix. Here's why many teens prefer Invisalign:

  • Confidence Booster — Remember awkward yearbook photos with metal braces? Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, so your teen can smile confidently during those important high school moments, from prom photos to graduation.
  • Compatible with Sports Activities — Traditional braces can pose risks during contact sports for athletic teens. Invisalign aligners, which can be removed and replaced with a protective mouthguard, offer better protection and peace of mind.
  • Easier Oral Hygiene — Getting teens to maintain excellent oral hygiene can be challenging enough without braces. Removable aligners simplify brushing and flossing, reducing the risk of decay due to difficulty cleaning around traditional braces.

Invisalign Benefits for Adult

Adults have different priorities when it comes to orthodontic treatment. Invisalign addresses these unique concerns:

  • Professional Appearance — Whether you're leading meetings or going on job interviews, Invisalign allows you to maintain a polished, professional appearance throughout treatment.
  • Convenience — Adult life is busy enough! Invisalign requires fewer office visits than traditional braces, with appointments typically scheduled every six to eight weeks instead of monthly.
  • Comfort for Long Work Days — Without metal brackets and wires, Invisalign eliminates the mouth soreness and discomfort that can distract you during important presentations or long workdays.
