The Advantage of Invisalign Teen®
June 13th, 2013

Here at the office of Dr. Ronald Brown, we know that image is everything. At an age when image is so important, the thought of having metal brackets and wires constantly attached to the teeth may intensify the already-delicate confidence of today's teens. But not to worry! There is a clear alternative to traditional braces! The team at the office of Dr. Ronald Brown thought we'd remind you that Invisalign Teen gives you a whole new way to wear braces for a "clearly" amazing smile!
So how does Invisalign Teen work, you ask? Much in the same fashion as Invisalign, but with a few added characteristics tailored specifically to teenagers’ lifestyles. For instance, Invisalign Teen is designed with “compliance indicators” that fade from dark to light during the two-week period during which that particular tray is used. Once the indicator has faded, teens know to change trays. Each aligner comes with up to six free individual replacement aligners in case the original aligner ends up lost or broken, which is another big benefit for the patient!
The treatment period for Invisalign Teen varies from nine to 18 months, but can vary depending on each case. If your teen is considering orthodontic treatment, please contact us at our Decatur, Athens, or Madison, AL or Pulaski, TN office and we’ll answer any questions you may have about Invisalign Teen.

With the school year close to winding down for a lot of our patients at the orthodontic office of Dr. Ronald Brown, we wanted to remind all our patients about the importance of reading. Sure it’s easy to keep putting off reading this time of year, but reading is a vital step in brain development and literacy. And if you needed any more reason to read, May marks
Memorial Day weekend, a time to remember and honor the men and women lost while serving for our country. Memorial Day is also the unofficial start of summer, and for many folks in the Athens, Decatur and Madison communities, getting out of town for three days after being cooped up in the classroom or the office spells sweet, sweet relief.
We are living in an age with a renewed commitment to conservation, and are frequently reminded to recycle, reduce and reuse. Earth Day is today, April 22nd, and we thought this would be a great time to discuss everything that Dr. Brown and team does to conserve our natural resources and the environment.
