At our dental office in southwest Houston, we know all about the need for braces, especially for teens. Having a straight smile is an important element for a kid’s life, and getting them straightened almost unnoticeably is a huge plus. We can do this for your teenager at Centra Dental through Invisalign Teen.

If your middle or high school kid has crooked, misaligned, or gapped teeth, then you should consider bringing them to our dental office. We will create a custom set of plastic tray aligners called Invisalign that will fit their teeth perfectly. These set of braces are not permanent because they have to be changed every so often.

Much like metal braces that have be tightened every few weeks, the Invisalign Teen braces have to be replaced with new ones every few weeks too. This keeps the braces tight on the teeth to force them into the correct position.

WHY TEENS PREFER INVISALIGN

The obvious reason why people, and teens in particular, prefer Invisalign over metal braces is because they aren’t very noticeable. Unlike the 3M metal braces, which are obvious due to the metal tangs and strands, the Invisalign braces clear throughout. These are placed over the teeth like mouthguards.

It isn’t about keeping braces a secret. It’s simply that most patients prefer not to have a major change to their appearance. Invisalign and Invisalign Teen allow this.

These custom-fitted braces are also removable for approximately two hours per day, which can’t be done with metal braces. This allows for thorough brushing and cleaning of teeth. It also allows for patients to eat food without braces.

Centra Dental, located in southwest Houston, is known for providing incredibly affordable metal braces. Now our dental clinic offers Invisalign braces. These braces are clear plastic tray aligners that are perfect for straightening teeth without it being completely obvious.

Compared to metal braces, Invisalign are practically unnoticeable. This allows for teeth to become straightened without the visible metal tangs across the teeth. There are numerous benefits to Invisalign in comparison to metal braces.

BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN BRACES

• CLEAR BRACES: Some patients, especially older patients, defer getting braces because they don’t want a massive change to their appearance. These braces can build confidence while straightening teeth.
• COMFORT: Compared to metal braces, the clear plastic tray aligners don’t have to be worn all the time. These braces can actually be removed for up to two and sometimes three hours per day. These few hours allow for oral maintenance and eating.
• REMOVABLE: As mentioned in the previous reason, these braces are removable so you aren’t stuck with them on just in case you need a “breather” from them. This is not recommended to do very often. The braces need to remain on the teeth for at least 21-22 hours per day in order for the teeth to straighten on schedule.

OR YOU CAN CHOOSE METAL BRACES

These Invisalign braces are a little more expensive than the metal braces at Centra Dental. If you or one of your family members are hoping for straight teeth, but at a more affordable price, then our metal braces are perfect. Our 3M metal braces start at $1,995, which is much less than most other Houston dental offices.

Braces have become very important for so many people and for so many reasons. Braces not only provide kids and adults with straight teeth to build their confidence and self-esteem, but it also greatly impacts their health. Quite often, dental insurance will cover braces if they are necessary for the health of the patient.

But how can braces be an oral health solution? Here’s how:

• COMBAT TOOTH DECAY: Braces, whether our 3M metal braces or clear Invisalign, straighten teeth that are gapped, misaligned or severely crooked (commonly referred to as malocclusion). When these teeth are properly aligned and straight, it eliminates areas where food particles can hide and create plaque build up, which can lead to cavities.
• STRENGTHEN TEETH: When teeth are separated from each other because of how they grow in, they can become weakened because they don’t have the proper support to withstand the constant rigor of everyday oral functions, like chewing food, clenching, and talking. By shifting teeth in line, this establishes a stronger foundation for them, which ensures they last longer and are stronger for everyday use.
• HELP WITH DAILY MAINTENANCE: When teeth are straight, this helps conduct daily oral maintenance, like brushing and flossing. It also ensures patients won’t have as much food particles and plaque to remove because the particles can’t get into the crevices.
