Braces are no longer exclusively for children; in fact, adults constitute 1 in 5 individuals seeking orthodontic treatment since 2014. While braces are more popular amongst teens, the reluctance for traditional train track braces has led to a surge in the popularity of invisible brace options. Clear braces minimally alter a patient’s appearance during treatment, allowing both adults and children to feel confident when wearing them.
Let’s explore why clear braces continue to be a preferred orthodontic treatment choice for kids.
Inconspicuous
Clear braces like Invisalign Teen provide an orthodontic treatment solution for kids who are concerned about changes in their appearance. These invisible, removable braces consist of custom plastic aligners that discreetly fit over your child’s teeth and are very comfortable, bracket-free and wire-free.
Comfort
Invisalign aligners stand out as one of the most comfortable orthodontic treatment options for children. Without brackets and wires, the pressure applied is gentle, resulting in minimal discomfort reported by patients during the treatment period.
Maintaining oral health with ease
Traditional braces pose challenges in cleaning and maintaining oral health. Invisalign’s removable aligners allow for easy cleaning. The ability to remove these invisible braces will help your child to floss with ease, reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay while maintaining a regular dental hygiene routine.
No inconvenience
Metal and lingual braces can sometimes impact speech throughout the treatment period. Invisalign’s effects on speech are temporary, allowing your child to smile and talk confidently. The option to remove the aligners for up to 2 hours a day ensures flexibility during important events or occasions without compromising the treatment’s effectiveness.
