Modern braces also offer a discreet, effection option for getting a perfect smile. Plus, thanks to new technologies, both Invisalign and braces can get results much faster than in the past. Better still, treatment costs about the same for braces or Invisalign and is affordable to fit your budget.

More Freedom and More Discreet
Often, teens are worried about the look of metal wire and brackets used in braces. They fear the “metal mouth” look and can feel self-conscious. As noted, modern braces are less noticeable, sleeker, and work in a wider variety of cases, from simple to complex.
However, there is still a visible wire, while Invisalign is hardly visible at all. So, most people won’t even know you’re working on your smile. And, you can take out the aligners to eat and brush your teeth. Thus, not only is Invisalign discreet, but you are also free to eat what you want.

Play Sports, Share Pictures, Feel Confident
With Invisalign, there are no wires to cause abrasions. So, it can be more comfortable than braces. Importantly, you can play sports or play your band instrument without worry about cutting your mouth. Plus, that means you won’t have emergency visits to fix a broken wire or make adjustments.
Also, you can take class pictures or upload photos to social media without worry about how you look. So, many people feel more confident during treatment until the final day. That’s when the real boost to confidence and self-esteem happens for both braces and Invisalign.
Discipline to Wear Aligners
With Invisalign, you must wear a series of clear aligners for 22 hours each day. So, this means you must have the discipline to keep those aligners in place. During meals and when it’s time to clean your teeth, you can take the aligner out with ease. However, treatment can last anywhere from six months to over a year, depending on the seriousness of the case.
Therefore, some people, adults included, may decide they prefer braces. Otherwise, they might be tempted to take out the aligners or even play with them with their tongue. However, most teens and adults get used to the routine and stick to the treatment schedule.
If you stick to wearing your aligners, you can expect faster results. On the other hand, if you don’t wear your aligners, there’s no cheating. Your teeth won’t move as quickly, and your overall treatment will take longer. We’ll be happy to discuss all your questions and concerns as you consider Invisalign Teen.
