Most children endure the process of traditional braces. It seems as though this is a part of most people’s lives. But, for those kids who do not have braces and are in need of getting their teeth straightened, braces can become embarrassing and uncomfortable. Continue reading to discover why Invisalign may be the better alternative for straightening your child’s teeth.

The Process

The Invisalign Teen system is able to completely straighten teeth with custom-made clear aligners. These are comfortable and practically invisible braces. Invisalign Teen can be used to correct many common orthodontic conditions without wires or metal braces. This is a huge determinant factor for many children, as they may not want to go through the traditional process of having braces at an older age. The conditions that Invisalign Teen can treat include crowding, spacing, cross bites, overbites and underbites. Similar to braces, but with a practically invisible appearance, Invisalign Teen could be the better alternative for your child.

The Decision-Making Factors

As a parent, straightening your child’s teeth is not something you have to rush. There are outside factors, like wisdom teeth or not being a fully-grown child, that can affect the decision of getting braces at an early age. This decision not only affects their life at the moment, but their future as well. With school, sports, their first job or even prom, braces may not be the ideal first choice. Waiting until your child is ready to go through the process is the important step you need to first take. From there, Invisalign Teen may be the better second step for your child.
