How old does my teen need to be for Invisalign in Carmel Valley?
Invisalign for Teens is typically recommended once most permanent teeth have erupted, usually around age 12 to 13. Dr. Abadan evaluates each patient at our Carmel Valley office individually to confirm the jaw and teeth are ready for aligner treatment. Some younger teens may need to wait a short while, and Dr. Abadan will give you a clear timeline at the free consultation.
Is Invisalign for teens as effective as traditional braces?
For most cases — including crowding, spacing, and mild to moderate bite issues — Invisalign for Teens is just as effective as traditional braces when aligners are worn 20 to 22 hours per day. The built-in compliance indicators on teen aligners help Dr. Abadan and parents monitor wearing time at each checkup at our Carmel Valley practice. Teens also benefit from no food restrictions and easier brushing and flossing throughout treatment.
What if my teen loses or damages an Invisalign aligner?
Invisalign for Teens includes a set of replacement aligners precisely for this situation. If an aligner is lost or damaged, contact our Carmel Valley office at (858) 350-7400 and we will arrange a replacement quickly. In the meantime, your teen should wear the previous set of aligners to hold their progress until the replacement arrives.
