Teens have a lot to do, and between school, sports, arts, and their social lives, dealing with orthodontics can be one more point of stress in their lives. Lip biting, mouth sores, wax, and “tightening” are all part of many kids’ experience with braces, however, now Invisalign has become a very real option for most teenagers.
The Invisible option
Invisalign Teen clear aligner system provides a nearly invisible way of straightening teeth using clear, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teen’s teeth. These aligners replace the wires, brackets, and bands that traditional braces use.
Eat, drink, and play instruments, sports, and more
When you’re a teen a lot of time and experience happens with friends and school. Unfortunately, the restrictions associated with traditional braces can mean sticking out like a sore thumb when you’re not able to participate. The wires and brackets of metal braces mean passing up on some foods, not performing in Band, or dealing with brackets and mouthguards. That’s the beauty of Invisalign aligners. which are designed to be removed every time your teen plays, eats, practices, or is in other situations which make wearing braces hard to deal with.
Effectiveness
Invisalign is not a complete solution for all cases but can be every bit as effective as traditional braces. However, Invisalign only works effectively if worn every day for 20-22 hours, so it’s very important for your teen to be a compliant patient. A clinical study actually showed that teens wear their aligners more responsibly than most adults!
