Orthodontic treatment
is always a tough decision for every family but for teenagers there are other
factors involved. Today teenagers have
school, peers and social media to deal with on top of normal every day
stress. Invisalign can be a great
alternative to traditional braces for teenagers. Invisalign Teen provides us with some useful
information to help teens and parents make the decision easier.
Things to consider:
92% of teens feel that Invisalign would help them “fit” in with their
peers. It would also help boost their
self-esteem. It can be just as effective
as metal braces. Invisalign cost just
about the same as traditional braces.
Teens wearing aligners are 68% less likely to be teased than those
wearing braces. Teens are more reliable
at wearing their aligners than adults are!
And 40% of teens say that wearing metal braces would have or has had a
negative impact on their self confidence.
