Let’s face it, at one point or another your teen is probably going to need braces. In this day in age, however, braces are no longer an embarrassing headpiece that your child needs strap on and shame themselves with — getting braces nowadays is almost a rite of passage!
With so many advances in dental technology, your child even has the option of receiving clear braces that seem almost invisible when in use. There are many benefits to choosing clear braces over standard braces. Take a look at some of these benefits below:
Eat the foods you enjoy!
With clear braces like Invisalign Teen, users can still eat many of the same foods they enjoy. With regular braces, eating foods like pretzels, pizza crust, and candy can be extremely difficult and dangerous. With clear braces, you can still enjoy those foods along with healthy snacks like apples, carrots, and corn on the cob!
Remove your braces as you please…
One of the biggest benefits of wearing clear braces is the fact that the trays are removable. With traditional braces, eating food can be tricky because of food that can potentially become trapped which can lead to the buildup of bacteria causing even more damage to your child’s teeth.
No tightening
Since clear braces are removable, your teen no longer has to have their wires tightened to help progress the straightening of their teeth. Clear braces allow for a new tray to be used every two weeks, which also means less visits to the dentist! You can track the progress with your child at home as well as with your family dentist.
As you can see, there are many advantages to invisible or clear braces. For more information or to see if you may be a candidate for clear braces, contact Kidtastic today!
