Your Enterprise & Dothan Family Orthodontist

During your child's teenage years, it becomes increasingly important to make a great first impression in front of peers. With school dances and sporting events, there is a need for your teen to always look his or her best and having a beautiful smile is a huge part of this aesthetic. Most teens may be discouraged by traditional metal braces because of the hardware that covers their teeth. At McClimans Orthodontics, we strive to make your treatment as comfortable as possible to give you the smile that you've always dreamed of. Our Dothan and Enterprise orthodontist, Dr. Tee McClimans may recommend one of our popular orthodontic treatments - Invisalign Teen. With Invisalign Teen, it can help your teens achieve a perfect smile, using a discreet and effortless treatment that is designed just for them.


What Is Invisalign Teen?

Invisalign Teen is an innovative alternative to traditional braces that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth to ensure the best outcome for your teen's smile. This appliance has become a popular choice for our patients due to their comfortability and ease of use. Because they are designed to be removable, Invisalign Teen allows you to drink and eat what you want. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth since there are no wires, metal or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.

Invisalign Teen is perfect for treating a broad range of orthodontic conditions such as:

  • Overly crowded teeth
  • Widely spaced teeth
  • Crossbite
  • Overbite
  • Underbite

Enterprise & Dothan Invisalign Teen Procedure

Invisalign Teen is perfect for patients who live a very active lifestyle or are looking for an alternative to traditional metal braces. If your teen is interested in proceeding with this treatment, it is important that he or she wears the clear aligners as instructed by Dr. McClimans. Invisalign Teen makes it easy to follow treatment with its special built-in blue indicator on the clear aligners that fade as they are worn. This lets your teen know when it's ready to move onto the next set of aligners.

Depending on the severity of the issue, treatment times can vary between patients. Typically, your teen will be required to wear the clear aligners for up to 9 to 18 months. We recommend that your teen comes into our Dothan or Enterprise orthodontic office every 8 to 10 weeks to ensure that your teen's teeth are moving properly.
