High school can be the best four years of a person’s life…or the worst. One way you can help your teen cope the most challenging times that they’ll face as a young adult is to provide them a way to straighten their teeth discreetly. Invisalign can help your teenager achieve the straight smile that they won’t be able to stop showing off!
Invisalign is a Better Option for Teens than Braces
High school is a challenge in itself. Metal brackets and wires don’t help make it easier in any sense. Not only do they require more detailed cleanings and frequent orthodontic appointments, but they can make your teen feel less confident in their smile. Here are a few reasons why you may want to consider the Invisalign treatment for your teenager’s orthodontic treatment:
- Invisalign cost is comparable to metal braces and is included under most dental insurance policies, making it an ideal choice to consider.
- Teens wearing Invisalign are 68% less likely to be teased than teens that have traditional orthodontic treatment.
- 92% of teens feel that undergoing a traditional metal brace treatment would keep them from fitting in with their peers.
- Orthodontists have found that teens are reliable in wearing the provided aligners for at least 22 hours a day, optimizing their straightening treatment.
- Teens wearing Invisalign clear aligners are two times more likely to have a boost in self-esteem while in treatment than teens that have metal braces.
- In the hands of an expert dentist, Invisalign can be just as effective as traditional braces.
Boost Your Teen’s Confidence
Invisalign Teen aligners are made of smooth, clear plastic that’s practically invisible to just about anyone they may interact with. Most people will not even notice that they have them on. Teens can genuinely enjoy making memories with their friends rather than worrying about if they have food stuck in between their wires.
Metal braces can be restricting on your teen’s diet, separating them from their friends. Invisalign is totally removable and allows your teen to enjoy their favorite foods whenever they want! It’s also easy for them to effectively clean their natural teeth as well as their aligners when they remove them.
Metal braces can hold your teen back from playing sports or expanding their horizons by playing a musical instrument. Invisalign allows a way to complete all your teen’s favorite activities without any hesitation.
Your teen can experience the long-lasting results for years to come throughout college and while starting their career as a young adult. Learn more about how you can help your teen experiment the best years of their life with a great smile.
