Benefits of Invisalign for teens
Much like traditional braces with metal brackets and wires, clear plastic aligners apply pressure to teeth and help them shift into alignment. The user wears each set of aligners for a couple weeks before moving on to a new set. The end result, hopefully, is an even smile.
Consider some of these other benefits of selecting Invisalign for your teen.
Removability
It’s easier for many kids to brush and floss without having to maneuver around wires and brackets. And better oral hygiene usually means fewer cavities.
Self-confidence
Many children and teens get self-conscious when they have a mouthful of braces. Because clear plastic aligners are less noticeable, your child may not feel as conspicuous. This may be beneficial for their mental health, too.
Less irritating
If you ever had traditional braces, you may recall having sore spots inside your mouth where the brackets or wires rubbed up against the inside of your lips or cheeks. Invisalign won’t cause that kind of friction and irritation.
Fewer emergencies
No broken wires or cracked brackets. That’s an advantage that Invisalign has over traditional braces. You won’t have to call your child’s orthodontist for an emergency appointment to fix something that’s broken.
Is Invisalign the best option for your child? It might be. Before you decide, get to understand the benefits, downsides, and potential costs of Invisalign.
