We Can't Wait to See You Smile
Your Cary Teen Will Love Clear Aligners
At Foley Orthodontics, we want our teen patients from Cary and the surrounding areas to feel excited about starting their journey towards straighter teeth—clear aligners for teens help us do that.
Nearly Invisible Braces in Cary
Clear aligner treatment at our Cary office doesn't use brackets, wires, and bands like traditional braces. When Dr. John Foley straightens your teenager’s teeth with clear aligners, they can have the smile they’ve always wanted without the appearance of metal appliances.
The clear aligners are made of clear plastic and are almost invisible. Your friends probably won’t even know you’re wearing them. Instead of sporting metal braces, Foley Orthodontics aligner patients enjoy the confidence of showing off their smiles every day.
You probably have friends with braces around Cary who aren’t allowed to chew gum or eat certain foods like popcorn and whole apples. With clear aligners for teens, the aligners are completely removable, so you can eat all of your favorite foods whenever you want.
This also means you can easily keep brushing and flossing as you normally would for proper oral hygiene. Try that with braces.
Whether you play sports or a musical instrument, traditional metal braces can present some new challenges. It’s hard to perform at your best knowing you could get hit in the mouth with a ball, or cut your lip trying to hit that note on the trumpet!
Clear aligners for teens help you focus on what matters most—just being a teen. During your initial consultation with Dr. Foley, we’ll determine if Invisalign Cary NC is the right fit for your smile and lifestyle!
Benefits of Clear Aligners for Teens
Perfect for Busy Schedules
Clear aligners for teens are ideal for busy parents in Cary and the surrounding communities because there are never any emergency appointments for broken wires or brackets.
Aligners often require fewer appointments than traditional metal braces because you get your clear aligners in advance, and each visit requires less "chair time."
The typical teen aligner patient sees Dr. Foley once every eight weeks for an average total treatment time of nine to 15 months.
Great for Active Teens in Cary
As a teenager in The Triangle, you should be free to enjoy your favorite activities and feel confident at social events while making lasting memories. With options like Invisalign Cary NC, you can also get efficient orthodontic treatment for crowded teeth, spacing issues, and bite concerns—without missing a beat.
With clear, comfortable aligners and Dr. Foley’s expert care, teens can keep being themselves and love their smiles even more.
Can Correct Many Issues
Dr. Foley can use clear aligners for teens to help correct the following concerns:
- Crowded teeth
- Spaced teeth
- Deep bite
- Open bite
When used appropriately and in the right cases, aligners can be very helpful in correcting a wide range of issues at Foley Orthodontics.
Easier to Keep Clean
Clear aligners treatment at Foley Orthodontics can be more hygienic than braces because it is much easier to clean your teeth when there are no braces in the way.
This also helps your teeth stay clean and white throughout treatment and can reduce your risk of demineralization.
Doesn't Cost More than Traditional Braces
At Foley Orthodontics, we understand that every patient's needs are different. Many factors determine the cost of your teen's treatment, and in most cases, the cost of clear aligners is comparable to traditional braces and covered by most dental insurance plans.
Financing options are also available to make clear aligners more affordable for your family. The Foley Orthodontics team is here to answer any questions regarding financing, payment plans, and insurance claims.
Keeps Your Teen on Track
When it comes to clear aligner treatment, there’s quite a bit for you to think about. Most of our teen aligner patients at Foley Orthodontics enjoy shorter check-ups, fewer appointments, better oral hygiene, and fewer emergency visits.
There are a couple of different features that clear aligners for teens offer to help your teen stay on track with treatment at Foley Orthodontics, like:
- Monitoring tabs to help us detect if your teen is wearing the aligners properly
- A certain number of replacement aligners are included in treatment, just in case your teen misplaces them
Talk to Foley Orthodontics About Clear Aligners
Dr. Foley may not recommend clear aligners in all cases, but he can advise you on the best options for your specific needs and lifestyle.
Like traditional braces, your teen will likely need to wear a retainer after clear aligner treatment, as recommended by Dr. John Foley, to maintain their new alignment—and their confident, new smile.
