What Advantages Does Invisalign Offer Both Teens and Parents?<\/h2>\n
It\u2019s no surprise that teens benefit from Invisalign because they don\u2019t have to deal with the embarrassment of wearing traditional brackets and wires. Here are some ways you\u2019ll benefit as a parent!<\/p>\n
\n
Fewer Visits<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s a safe bet that everyone could use a little extra time these days. With braces, you\u2019ll be heading to the orthodontist about every four weeks. With Invisalign, those visits are reduced to every four weeks.<\/li>\n
Better Hygiene (and Fewer Cavities)<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s very difficult to keep the teeth and gums clean in brackets and wires. The vast majority of teens struggle with brushing and flossing anyway, <\/em>so when you combine that with braces, it\u2019s a recipe for getting a lot of cavities. Since Invisalign patients can simply remove their trays before brushing and flossing, cavities are much easier to avoid. Being faced with the hassle and expense of fixing cavities isn\u2019t something any parent wants to deal with when their teen is done with orthodontics!<\/li>\n
No Food Restrictions<\/strong> \u2013 Since the trays only have to be worn a minimum of 22 hours a day, they can be removed prior to meals. Many teenagers have a hard time complying with the dietary restrictions that go with braces and wind up eating things like popcorn kernels or hard candy that can break their brackets off. With Invisalign, you won\u2019t have to\u00a0deal with those accidents!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
