Invisalign Teen is becoming a popular treatment option here at Grin Orthodontics because it provides an option for younger patients to achieve a straight, healthy smile, without anyone noticing! Unlike traditional metal braces teens using Invisalign Teen system can remove their aligners, allowing them to eat just about anything without worrying over damaging or breaking their braces. This also makes teeth easier to clean than with traditional braces. There are several things parents need to remember when considering their options for orthodontic treatment. For example, the cost of Invisalign varies depending on your teen's specific case, but can often compare to treatment with traditional braces.

At Grin Orthodontics we strive to make orthodontics affordable to everyone, we will assess your teen's eligibility for treatment with Invisalign Teen and determine the cost for your teen during the initial complimentary consultation.

Great Question!
Regular dental check ups are important for maintaining good oral health, especially during orthodontic treatment. If you are brushing and flossing daily during your orthodontic treatment with Dr. Newton, we think that's great!! But don't forget its also important for you to visit your general dentist every 3-6 months in addition to you brushing and flossing.

Tooth decay, which is caused by sugars left in the mouth, can turn into acid, which in turn can break down your teeth. Children are at high risk for tooth decay because adolescents tend to be negligent in their oral hygiene habits. Proper brushing and flossing routines combined with regular dental visits can help keep tooth decay away.

If you have any questions, please be sure to ask Dr. Newton or our team during your next appointment or ask us on Facebook.
