Teens can be a difficult group for teeth alignment. On the one hand, their mouths are done developing and are ripe for manipulation, but peer pressure, an emphasis on looks, and an active lifestyle are no match for metal braces. Invisalign® allows teens to be teens! Gum, popcorn, and other treats can still be consumed, just removed the aligners. Sports that would traditionally cause mouth injury with metal braces can easily be played with a mouthguard and the aligners reapplied once the game is done. The best part is, the clear aligners allow your teen to straighten their teeth without announcing it to all of their friends.
