Back to School shopping includes more than just new pencils and notebooks. It also means helping students “reinvent” their image for the new year. Did you know that most kids start braces anywhere between 11-14 (but begin consulting with the dentist as early as 8)?
But braces can make kids feel self-conscious (and uncomfortable), so why not look for a choice that can help boost your teens self-esteem, while helping them develop strong healthy teeth. Invisalign Teen, which is developed by leading orthodontists, is a perfect choice since it gradually straightens teeth without any metal or wires. Plus, it is about the same cost as regular metal braces!
Why Do Teens Love Invisalign?
1. It fits their active lifestyles.
Since Invisalign is comfortable and durable, it is easy for teens to continue their favorite activities such as playing sports and musical instruments – activities that can be challenging or uncomfortable with traditional metal braces.2. It looks great.
Invisalign’s near-invisibility is still one of the most popular features for teens; treatment is very inconspicuous, making it easier for teens to “fit in” rather than call attention to their treatment.3. It’s removable.
Since teens can take the aligners out to brush and floss, they can maintain normal, healthy hygiene during treatment. Plus, they can eat what they want – no forbidden foods!4. It’s comfortable.
Invisalign is made of lightweight plastic that is custom-fitted to each patient’s teeth. There are no wires or uncomfortable metal brackets poking or tearing their mouths or gums.5. It’s innovative and it works.
Invisalign Teen solves an age-old problem with a new technology and a fresh approach. Like traditional braces, Invisalign Teen effectively straightens teeth.
Although my boys aren’t old enough for braces yet, after reading about Invisalign Teen, I would definitely choose this product for them since I love the flexibility it offers.
