We know that teenagers can be incredibly self-conscious, we’ve all been there!   Having overcrowded or mis-aligned teeth is extremely common whilst children are growing.  Dental problems like these can make eating and speaking difficult and will most definitely affect your child’s confidence at some point.  

The traditional metal ‘train track’ brace is the immediate solution that springs to mind for most parents, however these can be unsightly and certainly can take a bit of getting used to.  Sometimes even the thought of wearing a noticeable metal brace can put many children off.

There is an option for treatment that will give amazing results and cause very little disruption to your child’s lifestyle.  Invisalign has developed a tooth straightening treatment with older children and teenage patients in mind. The Invisalign treatment uses a series of custom-made clear ‘invisible’ trays, called aligners. These aligners are made of smooth clear ‘SmartTrack’ material and are removable and comfortable to wear. They work by gradually moving teeth into the desired position, and can treat conditions such as crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, overcrowding and crossbites.

The huge advantage of the Invisalign treatment is that the aligners can be removed easily during treatment.  Daily activities such as cleaning teeth, drinking and mealtimes remain simple and worry free because the aligners can easily be taken out.  They can also be removed for playing musical instruments and sports, and even for special occasions.  It’s important that they are worn for a minimum of 22 out of 24 hours, but the Invisalign clear aligners will fit in perfectly with your child’s busy life.

If you are considering Invisalign for your child, you might like to know that the aligners are custom made and consider the growth and development of teeth and jaws whilst your child is growing. The aligners are designed to cope with the eruption of canines, molars and second premolars and in many cases the Invisalign treatment can move teeth without the need of extractions as is the case with conventional braces.
