Teenagers can be incredibly self-conscious – we all remember those days! Having overcrowded, ‘wonky’ 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.
A traditional metal brace is the immediate option that springs to mind for most parents, however these aren’t very discreet and 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 little disruption to your child’s lifestyle. Invisalign has developed a treatment to straighten teeth with older children and teenage patients in mind. Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear ‘invisible’ trays, called aligners. These aligners are made with a smooth, pliable 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 Invisalign is that the aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, flossing, playing sports and special occasions! Invisalign aligners should be worn for a minimum of 22 out of 24 hours but as they can be taken out, they 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. Invisalign is designed to cope with the eruption of canines, molars and second premolars and in many cases the aligners can move teeth without the need of extractions as is the case with conventional braces.
At Maida Smiles Clinic in Maida Vale, we are offering a free initial video consultation to discuss Invisalign and determine if this treatment is the right solution for your child.
