If your teenager needs orthodontic treatment to
straighten their teeth, they may have said they
want Invisalign. As a parent you need to help
your teen determine whether this form of
orthodontic care is actually the most appropriate
one for them.

Many teenagers do not realize the commitment it
requires on their part to successfully complete
Invisalign treatment. To help you and your teen
decide if Invisalign is right for them, you both
need to consider the following

The aligners have to be worn constantly, except
while eating or drinking. Some teens actually
think they can skip wearing the aligners for
extended periods of time and then wonder why
their teeth are not straightening.

In order for the aligners to work, they have to
be worn most of the time. If your teen can commit
to leaving them in, even while they sleep, then
Invisalign may be right for them.

Your teenager will have to brush their teeth more
often. Aside from brushing their teeth in the
morning and before bedtime, your teen will have
to carry a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss with
them.

They will need to brush their teeth after eating
meals and snacks, as well as most beverages. They
may also have to floss their teeth to help remove
trapped food particles more than once a day.

Your teenager will have to carry an aligner cup
with them. The aligner cup is required to
temporary store the aligners during snacks and
meal times, as well as drinking beverages.

Since your teen has school and is socially
active, they will need to include this in their
dental care supplies they keep with them whenever
they are away from home.

treatment can provide your teenager.

Your teen wont have to worry about not being
able to eat and drink their favorite foods.
Since they take the aligners out while eating
and brush their teeth afterwards, they are free
to eat or drink whatever they want.

Your teen wont have to hide their smile. Some
teens feel embarrassed when they have to wear
braces and hide their beautiful smiles.

With Invisalign, this is not an issue and most
of their peers will not even know they are
wearing the aligners since they are clear.

Sports related injury risks are lower with
Invisalign compared to traditional braces. If
your teen plays sports, they dont have to worry
about the mouth guard not fitting correctly.

Nor do they have to worry about the metal
components used in braces potentially causing
injury if they sustain an impact to their face
while playing sports.

Your teen will look forward to their orthodontic
visits. There are no wires to adjust or other
such uncomfortable procedures common with
traditional braces.

Rather, their dentist simply verifies their teeth
are straightening on schedule and you or your
teen have no issues or concerns.
