Benefits of Clear Aligners for Teens
Almost Invisible
Clear aligner therapy helps your teenager focus on doing what they do best—being a teen. Clear aligners and Spark created systems to meets the special needs of teens all around Hamden & North Haven.
Clear aligners for Teens with Elm Tree Orthodontics can be a great clear option for teens shying away from traditional metal braces. These clear aligners are made of clear plastic and almost invisible.
Your teen's friends probably won’t even know they're wearing them. Instead of hiding behind a mouth full of metal, they'll enjoy the confidence of showing that smile every day.
They probably have friends with braces who aren’t allowed to chew gum or eat certain foods like popcorn and whole apples.
With Clear aligners for Teens, the aligners are completely removable, allowing your teen to eat all of your favorite foods whenever you want.
This also means your teen can easily keep brushing and flossing as you normally would for proper oral hygiene. Try that with braces.
Whether your child plays sports or a musical instrument, a mouth full of metal can hold them back from enjoying the things they want to. It’s hard to perform at your best knowing you could get hit in the mouth with a ball, or cut your lip trying to hit that note on the trumpet.
