Invisalign® and Invisalign® Teen are two very popular treatments here at Sutra Dental Spa. Designed to correct a comprehensive array of orthodontic issues, these procedures have helped many people obtain the treatment they need in a more comfortable and discreet way. So, what exactly are the differences between Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen®?
Overall, there are not too many distinctions between the two treatments. Both involve custom-designed clear and removable teeth aligners to address teeth or bite misalignment concerns. The main difference between Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® is that the latter is specifically designed for adolescent patients, who have anatomic needs that are unique compared to adults. For instance, most teenagers’ jaws are still in the process of development, which necessitates a slight variation in the design of the aligners themselves that distinguishes them from the adult model.
Other than that, both Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® have the same goal and the same basic process of achieving it: to effectively correct orthodontic concerns without the noticeability of prominent metal braces along the teeth!
