Teeth are moved using consistent pressure. With braces, the pressure is applied using metal brackets and wires. Invisalign\u00ae uses a series of clear aligners that slip around the teeth like retainers. They work as effectively as braces to solve mild to severe cases of crooked teeth and alignment issues. The key is that you must bring your child to a dentist that is trained in how to administer the Invisalign\u00ae treatment.<\/dd>\n<dt>Are they old enough?<\/dt>\n<dd>In order for your teen to wear Invisalign\u00ae they need to have all of their permanent teeth. At SoCal Dental Care, we can examine them and let you know whether or not it is the right time to get started. Most of the time, we will recommend Invisalign\u00ae starting in high school.<\/dd>\n<a name=\"how-responsible-does-my-teen-need-to-be\"><\/a>\n<dt>Is my teen responsible enough?<\/dt>\n<dd>Any time that someone uses orthodontics to straighten their teeth, there is a level of responsibility necessary to ensure that the process goes smoothly. In most cases, teenage patients are incredibly responsible and statistically, most teens will wear their aligners for 21 hours a day. However, there are cases in which the teenage patient does not wear the aligners properly and faces issues because of it. If your child tends to be more absent-minded than not, traditional braces may be a better solution because they are permanently secured to the teeth and you only need to remind them to brush and floss carefully. With Invisalign Teen\u00ae, there are significant conveniences that are associated with this solution and the biggest ones come from the fact that the aligners are removable. Teens love this! They can act, behave, look, and eat like normal because the aligners come out. At SoCal Dental Care, we encourage this convenient solution for our teenage and adult patients. However, knowing that something comes out, also means that they have to remember to put it back in. That is where the responsibility piece comes into play. If they lose an aligner, it can be replaced. The challenge is that if they simply forget to wear it, the process will not work. For this reason, it is important to evaluate the responsibility level and overall personality of your child to determine if they are ready. If you live in the North Hollywood area, bring them in for a consultation. We can have a heart to heart, let them know what the treatment entails and see if we can get them to commit to wearing the aligners. They may surprise you by how committed they are, once they see this as an alternative to traditional braces.<\/dd>\n<dt>I was told that Invisalign will not work for my teen. Should I get a second opinion?<\/dt>\n<dd>Absolutely. At SoCal Dental Care, we can evaluate and examine your teen to let you know whether or not they are a good candidate for Invisalign\u00ae. When you meet with a dentist, it is difficult to know how much training they have on this particular product. While your general dentist may do an excellent job with preventative care or restorations, Invisalign\u00ae may be new to their practice. This is why you should always seek a second opinion when told that you or your child cannot have a specific treatment you are interested in.<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div><!-- \/.col -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.row -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.main-service-content .section-block --><!-- \/sContent mute -->\n\n<div class=\"call-out center-align bg-secondary\"><!-- sContent-Yelp -->\n<p id=\"yelp-reviews-north-hollywood-ca\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"><\/i> Check out what others are saying about our Invisalign\u00ae Teen services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Invisalign\u00ae Teen North Hollywood\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/socal-dental-care-north-hollywood\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Is-Invisalign-Teen-Right-for-My-Child\">Invisalign\u00ae Teen North Hollywood<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.call-out --><!-- \/sContent-Yelp -->\n\n<div class=\"main-service-content section-block\"><!-- sContent Background -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"how-do-i-get-started-with-invisalign\"><\/a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">How do I get started with Invisalign\u00ae?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"><\/div>\n<p>The process is simple.

We can examine your teen's teeth, let you know if they are ready for Invisalign\u00ae now, or when they will be. Next, we will discuss all of the steps involved in the process with you and your teen, so that everyone understands what to expect. There will be some paperwork to sign and financial considerations to discuss with our office manager. If you need help financing the treatment, let us know now so that we can help you find a solution.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we will schedule a visit to take digital images of your teen's mouth, along with measurements. These images will be uploaded into the computer so that we can begin to project out the treatment plan. Step by step, we plan for how the teeth will move from where they are today to where they are supposed to be. This takes time but is critically important for ensuring that they move in a set and steady pattern. This information will then be sent to the Invisalign\u00ae lab where they will produce a series of customized aligners. Each aligner is designed to move your teen's teeth. One aligner will make a slight difference in their position but when worn in a series, they will move their teeth into a perfectly straight position. Once all of the aligners have been created to our specifications, they will be delivered in a series for your teen to wear and then switch out at home. Typically, each aligner is worn for two weeks until it becomes loose and then needs to be switched out for the next one in the series. By following our careful instructions and keeping regularly scheduled appointments, your teen can have a beautiful smile in no time.<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- \/.col -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.row -->\n<\/div><!-- \/.main-service-content .section-block --><!-- \/sContent Background -->\n\n<div class=\"call-out bg-secondary\"><!-- Call-out block -->\n<p>To learn more about Invisalign Teen\u00ae and whether it is right for your child, call <a title=\"Click to call SoCal Dental Care at (818) 821-8308\" href=\"tel:+1-818-821-8308\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"CTC-Phone-Formatted-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">(818) 821-8308<\/a> and schedule an appointment with our North Hollywood, California dental office.
