For teeth straightening among kids, earlier, metal braces were the only option. For that child who fears being called “brace face,” the good news is that there’s a high likelihood that Invisalign will offer a better, more comfortable alternative, added the Invisalign Doctor in Delhi.
Using clear, removable aligners for the gradual straightening of teeth, Invisalign is fast gaining traction among kids and teens, the most recent survey revealing that at least 4.3 million young ones have received the wonders of Invisalign. Yet it tends to leave a significant number of parents, raised on the traditional brace regimen, not so sure about whether this trendy move is effective.
Here are the highlights that every parent should know about Invisalign tooth straightening treatment:
- Easy and Comfortable
Children wear their aligners from 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them off only to eat, brush their teeth, or engage in sports. This flexible system indeed no longer imposes any food restrictions, and, what a relief, it doesn’t hurt: Yes, popcorn is still on the menu!
- Equally Effective Along With Braces
Mild to complex cases of underbites, overbites, gaps, and crowding can be treated using Invisalign, as it will work just like traditional braces, provided it is worn consistently.
- Fewer Visits to the Dentist
For a change, there are fewer Invisalign appointments compared to metal brace, since aligners can be exchanged at home. Even better, no need to go through wire adjustment.
- Easy to Clean
Aligners are brushed using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush; nothing special in tools or technique. There is also a cleaning system for those who want a deeper cleaning.
- Few Cavities
As children can remove aligners before meals and brushing, regular oral hygiene remains unchanged and reduces plaque buildup and cavity risks.
- Perfect for Sports & Activities
For kids playing contact sports, there is less injury risk connected to the metal brackets if they choose to wear Invisalign. Aligners can be changed for a mouthguard in practice or game time.
- Boost in Self-Confidence
Clear-aligner lets kids enjoy a more positive view of themselves, especially during the critical phase of their life- teenage years.
