How Do Invisalign Clear Braces Work?
Invisalign treatment utilizes a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually move your teeth into their correct positions. At the start of your Invisalign process, Dr. Goichi Shiotsu and Dr. Ryan Tam at Mercer Island Dental will take precise impressions of your teeth.
You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series. We make clear aligner trays from comfortable, BPA-free plastic. This material will not irritate your cheeks and gums as metal braces for kids can.
Because the aligners are removable, maintaining good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing is much easier. Plus, no food restrictions exist, so you can continue enjoying your favorite meals and snacks.
Typically, Dr. Shiotsu and Dr. Tam schedule check-ups every six weeks to ensure your treatment progresses. The duration of your treatment varies, but most patients achieve their desired results within 12 to 18 months.
Why Choose Invisalign Clear Braces for Teens?
Teenagers prefer Invisalign braces because they help straighten teeth while preventing gum disease and tooth decay. Here's a closer look at the key benefits that make Invisalign an ideal orthodontic solution for teens:
Aesthetically Pleasing
Invisalign clear teeth braces are nearly invisible, significantly boosting teenagers' confidence throughout treatment.
Comfortable Fit
Invisalign aligners provide comfort and safety for your beautiful smile and for your overall health. They do not have any sharp edges or points that can hurt you. This helps prevent any discomfort or injury while wearing braces.
Customized Treatment Plan
We at Mercer Island Dental create a personalized treatment plan for you. We use clear aligners tailored specifically to your needs. This ensures that your dental treatment is both effective and efficient.
Easy Maintenance
The ability to easily remove your Invisalign for cleaning and eating significantly simplifies oral hygiene practices compared to traditional braces.
Less Time at the Dentist or Orthodontist
Without brackets and wires to adjust, Invisalign teen braces for kids treatment requires fewer visits, allowing more time for personal activities.
Minimal Lifestyle Disruption
Removable aligners allow you to eat, brush, and go to special events without the usual restrictions of braces.
At Mercer Island Dental, our devotion extends beyond just treatment. We love creating happy experiences for you, spreading joy, improving well-being, and making a positive impact in your lives.
The Process of Getting Invisalign Teen Braces
Choosing Invisalign teen braces for kids at Mercer Island Dental can help you achieve a straight, beautiful smile. Dr. Shiotsu and Dr. Tam have a clear plan for making sure your Invisalign treatment goes well.
Initial FREE Consultation
Your Invisalign journey begins with an initial free consultation at Mercer Island Dental. During your visit, either Dr. Shiotsu or Dr. Tam will check your teeth to see if Invisalign treatment is right for you. They will discuss your orthodontic goals and answer any questions you may have.
Custom Treatment Plan
Utilizing state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology, we will create a precise digital map of your teeth. This allows us to design a customized treatment plan that outlines the movement of your teeth and the approximate length of your treatment.
Receiving Your Custom Aligners
Once Mercer Island Dental creates your custom Invisalign aligners, Dr. Shiotsu or Dr. Tam will ensure they fit you properly and guide you on how to wear and care for your aligners. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the series.
Regular Progress Checks
Invisalign needs fewer office visits than regular braces. It's important to see Dr. Shiotsu or Dr. Tam regularly for check-ups. They will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. We schedule these brief appointments approximately every six weeks to ensure the treatment is on track.
Completion and Retention
Upon completing your Invisalign treatment, it's crucial to maintain your new smile. Mercer Island Dental will provide a retainer to ensure your teeth stay in their new straighter positions. Dr. Shiotsu or Dr. Tam will advise you on how long to wear your retainer and how to care for it properly.
By following these steps, you're on your way to achieving the smile you've always wanted with minimal disruption to your daily life. At Mercer Island Dental, we're happy to be part of your Invisalign journey. We're here to help you get and keep a beautiful, healthy smile.

Duration of Your Invisalign Treatment and Daily Care
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on your individual's orthodontic needs. Most patients at Mercer Island Dental complete their treatment within 12 to 18 months. However, some may achieve their desired results in as little as six months, while others may require more time. The key to a successful outcome is sticking to the treatment plan, mainly the daily wear of your aligners.
To make sure your teeth move correctly, wear Invisalign aligners for 20-22 hours every day. You should remove them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
Proper care of the aligners is also crucial. To keep them clean, use a soft toothbrush and water or a cleaning solution suggested by Dr. Shiotsu or Dr. Tam. Avoid using hot water as it can warp the plastic.
Additionally, maintaining excellent oral hygiene is essential during treatment. Brushing and flossing after meals, before reinserting the aligners, will help prevent cavities and gum disease. It's important to have regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Mercer Island Dental. This will help keep your oral health in good shape while you're getting Invisalign treatment.
What Will My Friends Say?
When considering Invisalign, a common thought that might cross your mind is, "What will my friends say?" Invisalign clear aligners are very discreet. Your friends may not even notice you're getting orthodontic treatment until you tell them. When they find out, their reactions will likely be overwhelmingly positive.
Your friends will admire your dedication to improving your smile and dental health with Invisalign. They may even want to try it themselves after seeing how great your new smile looks while not disrupting your daily routine.
Talking openly about your Invisalign experience can encourage others who are considering braces. It can also spark conversations with friends. Some may be hesitant about getting braces. Sharing your experience can help them make a decision.
