Perfecting Teen Smiles with Clear Aligners
Finding the best orthodontic solution can significantly enhance a teen's smile and self-esteem. Invisalign for Teens in Clark, NJ, provides a transparent, comfortable, and flexible option for straightening teeth, ideal for those who prefer to avoid the appearance and maintenance of traditional braces.
At Clark Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, Dr. Billy Buchbinder and his team are committed to delivering exceptional care with Invisalign, helping each teen achieve a beautiful smile.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth using a series of clear, custom-made aligners. Unlike traditional braces that rely on metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are crafted from a smooth, BPA-free plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. This innovative approach provides a comfortable and discreet option for those looking to improve their smile.
Materials and Comfort
The aligners are crafted from a unique thermoplastic material called SmartTrack®, designed to enhance both comfort and effectiveness. This clear, smooth material minimizes irritation to the gums and cheeks while providing the necessary strength to guide teeth into their proper positions.
Since the aligners are removable, teens can enjoy eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing without any restrictions, offering a more convenient and adaptable treatment experience compared to traditional braces.
HOW ALIGNERS WORK
Invisalign aligns your teeth gradually using a series of custom-made, clear aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before moving on to the next set in the sequence. These aligners are designed to apply gentle, consistent pressure to shift your teeth into their desired positions over time.
The process begins with a digital scan of your teeth, which is used to create a detailed treatment plan. This plan outlines the exact movements of your teeth throughout the treatment, ensuring precise and effective results. Invisalign can address a variety of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- Mild to moderate tooth misalignment
Differences from Traditional Braces
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for teens who prefer a subtle orthodontic solution. In contrast, traditional braces are more noticeable due to their metal components.
One of the key benefits of Invisalign is the ability to remove the aligners. This means teens can continue to enjoy their favorite foods without worrying about damaging braces. Additionally, they can maintain their regular oral hygiene routine, which helps prevent plaque buildup and gum issues.
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic, reducing the discomfort often associated with metal braces. This makes the treatment process more comfortable for teens.
Teens switch to a new set of aligners every few weeks, following a personalized treatment plan that gradually moves their teeth. Unlike braces, which require frequent adjustments by an orthodontist, Invisalign involves fewer office visits.
Invisalign offers greater flexibility, allowing teens to remove the aligners for special events or activities. This is in contrast to traditional braces, which remain fixed until the end of the treatment.
Introducing Invisalign Teen

For Beautiful Smiles That Last A Lifetime
The Invisalign Process at Clark Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics
Our streamlined process ensures that teens receive effective treatment, prioritizing comfort and confidence throughout their Invisalign journey.
The journey begins with a comprehensive assessment tailored to teens. Dr. Billy Buchbinder conducts a thorough examination and uses advanced digital imaging to create a precise 3D model of the teeth. This helps us design a personalized treatment plan to address the specific needs of younger patients.
Following the treatment plan, a series of custom Invisalign aligners are created from high-quality, clear plastic. These aligners are made to fit perfectly, with each set being worn for about two weeks. They gradually shift the teeth into the desired positions, providing a comfortable fit for teens.
Teens are required to wear their aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. The aligners are comfortable and easy to wear, causing minimal disruption to daily activities. A new set of aligners is provided approximately every two weeks.
Regular check-ups are scheduled to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. These visits ensure that the treatment is on track and that the teeth are moving as planned. Adjustments can be made to the treatment plan if needed to achieve the best results.
Once the treatment is complete, teens will receive retainers to help maintain their new smiles. Retainers are crucial for keeping the teeth in their new positions and preventing any shifting. Dr. Buchbinder will provide instructions on how to wear and care for the retainers to ensure the smile stays perfect for years to come.
