| What are the advantages of Invisalign for Teenagers? |
1. Invisalign is
more comfortable than convention metal
braces because the
aligners can be removed to eat,
brush and floss.
2.
With Invisalign, there is less chance of developing
cavities, gum problems or bad breath which can be a
problem
with convention metal braces.
3. Invisalign means there
is less chance of injuries
to mouth and teeth when
participating in sports.
Protective mouth guards are also
much easier to
make and to wear with Invisalign than with
conventional
metal braces.
4. There is no need for
headgear or diet restrictions
with Invisalign.
5.
Teenagers are less self-conscious about smiling
because
Invisalign is virtually invisible.
The aligners can also be
removed for a few hours
for special occasions such as class
pictures or
social events.
6. Parents can be assured
that teenagers are wearing
the Invisalign aligners for the
proscribed amount of
time by checking the “blue dots” on the
aligners.
These change from blue to clear when the aligners
are worn correctly.
