A Clear, Comfortable Way to Straighten Your Child's Smile
At Dr Duga Dr Feeney and Associates Pediatric Dentistry, Invisalign offers a modern orthodontic solution designed to straighten teeth using clear, removable aligners. This approach is especially popular among older children and teens who want to improve their smile without the appearance and restrictions of traditional braces.
We provide Invisalign treatment for families throughout New Tampa and nearby communities such as Tampa Palms, Hunters Green, West Meadows, Richmond Place, Cory Lake Isles, and Arbor Greene, delivering personalized care that fits your child's lifestyle.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for a specific period before progressing to the next stage.
Invisalign can address:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild to moderate bite issues
- Misaligned teeth
How Invisalign Works
The aligners are nearly invisible, making them a discreet option for improving your child's smile. The Invisalign process is carefully planned and customized for each patient using advanced digital technology. Treatment typically involves:
Digital Scan
A digital scan using Dental Technology for precise planning.
Custom Aligners Created
Creation of a series of custom aligners.
Daily Wear
Wearing aligners for 20–22 hours per day.
Progressive Changes
Changing aligners approximately every one to two weeks.
Progress Check-Ins
Periodic check-ins to monitor progress.
