Clear In-Ovation and Invisalign as Clear Alternatives for Image-Conscious Teens


We know that our teens are super conscious of their image. Just note the number of selfies they take, and how much time they spend liking, commenting and sharing their friends’ photos on Snapchat, Facebook and Instagram. That’s why when teens come to me for orthodontic treatment, I want to be sure we have options for them, to ensure their confidence stays high while their smile improves.

One of the most significant innovations in orthodontics is Invisalign Teen®. Geared towards teens and young adults, Invisalign Teen works for patients who have all their permanent teeth. The brilliance of the Invisalign system is that it allows me to treat my patients using custom, almost invisible aligners. Here’s how it works: a series of clear, removable aligners move teeth into the right position. Patients wear each aligner for one to two weeks, which moves the teeth enough so that the next set of aligners can fit over the teeth. In no time, patients can see results in their teeth, and their overall appearance.

Also designed to create an aesthetic appearance for teens, the In-Ovation® C (clear) brackets system uses high translucency technology that makes braces less noticeable. With this system, we often see decreased plaque development, fewer office visits and shorter treatment time.
To determine if Invisalign Teen or In-Ovation is the right choice for you, make an appointment with Dr. Arleen Azar-Mehr by calling (818) 886-6666 or clicking here to request a complimentary consultation for a free initial visit.
