Invisalign is a fairly new orthodontic treatment which is capable of straightening a dental patient’s teeth without using metal braces.
This can be particularly important to teens, since they are at a formative stage of their lives, and are particularly vulnerable to criticism.
Most teens would reject the notion of metal braces if given the option, simply because metal braces are so obtrusive and noticeable.
Invisalign solves this problem by being completely clear and difficult to detect in a person’s mouth.
Even though they’re made of clear plastic, these aligners are still very effective at gently repositioning teeth. They can also be removed for eating meals, and for brushing and flossing.
Because they don’t use any metal brackets or wiring, they can be much more comfortable for your teen as well as being less noticeable.
In many cases, Invisalign braces can also accomplish teeth straightening in less time than traditional metal braces. Given the choice, most teenagers would definitely prefer the clear plastic aligners of Invisalign, as opposed to the more awkward metal braces.
