Dr. Wiggins and her staff know that image can mean everything to today's teens. When appearances are so important, the thought of having metal brackets and wires constantly attached to teeth may intensify the already-delicate confidence of today's teens. But... not to worry! There is a clear alternative to traditional braces! The team at Summit Orthodontics thought we'd remind you that Invisalign Teen™ gives you a whole new way to wear braces for a "clearly" amazing smile!

So how does Invisalign Teen work, you ask? Much in the same fashion as Invisalign, but with a few added characteristics tailored specifically to teenagers’ lifestyles. For instance, Invisalign Teen is designed with “compliance indicators” that fade from dark to light during the two week period that particular tray is used and once it has faded teens know to change trays. Each aligner comes with up to six free individual replacement aligners in case the original aligner ends up lost or broken. Another big benefit for the patient!

The treatment period for Invisalign Teen varies from nine to 18 months. If your teen is considering orthodontic treatment, please contact us and we’ll answer any questions you may have about Invisalign Teen.

From your very first visit to Summit Orthodontics our doctor and team are committed to providing excellent orthodontic care in a friendly, caring environment. Our patients and their families are our primary focus. We thought we’d ask you, our wonderful patients: Have you been especially impressed by the work of Dr. Wiggins? Did our team go out of their way to make your day? Are you in love with your new smile?

Whether you’ve just come in for a consultation or your family has been visiting our office for years, we’d love to hear your feedback. You can head to our Google Place Page and write a review there. Or, you can tell us by posting on our Facebook page or by giving us a call! Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving!
