With our expertise, teens can achieve a beautiful, straight smile with minimal disruption to their daily lives.

Treatment Process Overview

Our Invisalign Teen treatment process is designed to be seamless and effective, providing a clear path to a confident smile. We begin with a comprehensive consultation, where we assess each teen’s orthodontic needs using advanced 3D imaging technology. From there, we create a customized treatment plan, ensuring that each aligner gradually shifts teeth into their ideal positions. This modern approach enhances comfort while allowing teens to maintain their active lifestyles without the restrictions of traditional braces.

Throughout the treatment, we schedule regular check-ups to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. Since Invisalign Teen aligners are virtually invisible, they are an excellent choice for self-conscious teens who want to improve their smiles discreetly. With Dr. Patra’s guidance, teens can achieve optimal results while enjoying the flexibility and convenience that Invisalign Teen offers.

Comfort and Convenience

At GHO, Invisalign Teen is designed to provide a seamless and comfortable orthodontic experience for teenagers. The clear aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over teeth, ensuring minimal discomfort while gradually guiding them into the desired position. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign Teen aligners are removable, allowing teens to enjoy their favorite foods and maintain optimal oral hygiene with ease. This flexibility not only enhances comfort but also empowers teens to continue their daily activities without interruption.

Convenience is our top priority at GHO. With Invisalign Teen, fewer office visits are required compared to traditional braces, making it easier to fit orthodontic care into a busy schedule. The aligners are virtually invisible, offering a discreet option that boosts confidence during the treatment process. Dr. Patra is committed to providing personalized care and guidance throughout the Invisalign Teen journey, ensuring that each patient achieves a healthy, beautiful smile with the utmost convenience.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance and care of Invisalign Teen aligners are crucial for achieving the best results. Patients should clean their aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water to prevent bacteria buildup and maintain oral hygiene. It’s important to avoid using hot water, as it can warp the aligners. Additionally, aligners should be stored in their protective case when not in use to prevent damage or loss. Regular check-ups at GHO ensure that the treatment is progressing as planned and any necessary adjustments can be made.

Dr. Patra is dedicated to providing comprehensive guidance on maintaining Invisalign Teen aligners. Patients are encouraged to follow the recommended wear schedule, typically 20-22 hours per day, to ensure effective treatment. Consistent communication with Dr. Patra helps address any concerns promptly, ensuring a smooth and successful orthodontic journey.

The absolute best staff I could’ve asked for. Since day one, I walked into Dr.Alatsis’s office and was informed of all of my procedures / options in the most informative / friendliest manner possible. After 18 months of orthodontic care, my braces were removed, and I am more than satisfied with the results. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with the Gig Harbor Orthodontics (GHO) team every step of the way. I would highly recommend / encourage anyone that’s considering the idea of overall general orthodontic care to give GHO an opportunity to take care of your smile.

I can’t recommend Dr. Patra and her practice enough! From our first consultation to my daughter’s last appointment getting her braces off, we always felt welcome and well taken care of. Dr. Patra and her entire staff are kind, patient and thorough. Wait times were minimal and the office was always impeccable. My daughter’s new smile is absolutely beautiful and when it comes time for my other children to need braces we know where we’ll go. Highly recommend!

As an adult with braces, it was challenging to give up certain foods. I never thought I would really get braces, but I can say that I am beyond happy with the outcome. Not eating kettle cooked chips (not to mention raw carrots) for twenty three or so months was worth the wait! The vibes of all the qveens here made coming here for my visits enjoyable each time! Who run the worlddd? Love their new location in Proctor! I was the first one to get my braces off there =^.^=
