Their Alignment Plays A Real Role In Their Oral Health

When teeth crowd and overlap, it can create more problems than just the cosmetic ones. Plaque bacteria can start to form where their toothbrush and floss will not adequately reach, and this can become a real issue for their oral health. When plaque remains on the surface of the teeth, it can lead to tooth decay, and along the gumline, it can create an infection that irritates the periodontal tissue. If they are struggling to keep their smile clean, talk to an orthodontist about whether an alignment shift could help them maintain their oral health more effectively.

Helping Them Look Their Best Now And In The Future

Orthodontic treatment is an investment in your child’s oral health, and it also can pay off when it comes to their appearance, as well. We all depend on our smile for important first impressions, and at this age, they are all important. With orthodontic solutions like traditional braces with ceramic brackets and Invisalign® clear aligner therapy, your child can experience a safer, more attractive smile.

How Does Invisalign® Work?

With Invisalign® clear aligner therapy, your teen will receive a custom set of nearly invisible aligner trays. These hug their teeth, gently and effectively moving them along the oral ridge. Best of all, you child may be more likely to adhere to their guidelines with this simple approach. As they reach nearer to their smile goals, they can swap out their aligners for a new set, continuing on with their care.
