Invisalign Is A Great Option To Fix Your Teeth

If you think back to when you were growing up, I bet you can remember horror stories about kids who wore braces. Am I right? People made fun of these poor, unfortunate kids in so many unkind ways. Perhaps you were one of them - the ones who were teased. Now you've got kids who need braces. Do you really want them to go through what you did?

The good news is - they don't have to.

Fortunately, we live in a fantastic day and age where your kids will be completely free of teasing. I bet you're wondering how that can be.

I'll be glad to tell you.

There's a cool product on the market called Invisalign braces. They were first made available in May of 2000 and have since been proven to be very popular with people who were told they needed braces. These braces are tooth and gum aligners, which are practically clear. Someone would have to look very closely at your mouth and be actually looking for them to even see you are wearing them.

I told you this was good news!

They truly are almost invisible, and I'm sure you've already figured out just how they can improve your kid's chances of not becoming the class joke.

Let's look at some of the benefits of the Invisalign product:

1. Day-to-day interaction with peers is greatly enhanced.
2. They are removable and can be taken out to eat, drink or brush and floss any time you want or need.
3. They help reduce bacteria buildup. We all know how difficult it can be to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums when wire braces are in place. Not so with Invisalign braces since they are removable for easier cleaning and disinfecting.
4. There is no irritation to the gums or mouth caused by wires or metal brackets as in braces. Since these aren't necessary, there won't be any extra trips to the orthodontist to have your wires adjusted.
5. Since these braces are clear, you can actually begin to see the treatment working to straighten your kid's teeth right before your very eyes!
6. Finally, your child will be able to freely eat all the popcorn they want while being treated with Invisalign braces since they are removable.

There are many reputable doctors who can recommend them but do your homework to find out which one is best for you or your child's needs. You can search online or just ask other parents at school for a recommendation. Personal testimonies are always a wise choice. Many orthodontists have a free consultation, which is really helpful to be sure you've chosen one who is a good match.

The benefits of straight teeth go far beyond just having a great smile. The American Dental Association has said, "Straightening your teeth can actually significantly affect your overall dental health." It's so true that a great smile is not always a healthy one. With Invisalign, you can be sure it will be.
