Invisalign for Children

[CandyLady]

My 11-year-old needs braces. Like most children, she is dreading getting them. She doesn't want the other kids to make fun of her. Will she be able to get Invisalign? I don't remember hearing or seeing it being talked about for children. Is there an option for children to get Invisalign or something similiar?

Hello CandyLady,

Thank you for your post.

There is an option for most teenagers to have Invisalign Teen. Invisalign Teen is a modern approach to straightening teeth with a series of clear aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. Invisalign Teen is comfortable, affordable and effective and since it has no brackets and wires you can smile even during your treatment. And without the conventional fixed braces it is easier to maintain better oral hygiene. The clear aligners are removable so you can eat whatever foods you enjoy with Invisalign Teen. Invisalign Teen consultations are available at Pearl Dental Clinic.
