Invisalign For Teens FAQ'S
How much is invisalign for childrens?
The cost of Invisalign for children can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the child’s dental issues, the length of treatment, and the geographic location. Some dental insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost, and many even at smile care family dental we offer flexible dental plans.
Is invisalign good for 14 year olds?
Invisalign teens can be an excellent option for many 14 year olds, as it is designed to work for dental alignment needs. It is especially appealing for teens who are self-conscious about their appearance because the clear aligners are much less noticeable than traditional metal braces. Invisalign Teen also comes with features like compliance indicators that fade from blue to clear to help understand how often the aligners are being worn. It’s important to note that success with Invisalign depends on the teen wearing the aligners consistently, except when eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing their teeth.
Is invisalign painful for children ?
Invisalign typically causes less discomfort than traditional braces because there are no metal brackets or wires that can irritate the mouth. However, when a child first starts wearing Invisalign or switches to a new set of aligners, they may experience some pressure and discomfort as their teeth begin to shift. This discomfort usually subsides within a few days. Overall, Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic and are custom-fitted, which helps minimize pain.
Is invisalign a good choice for kids?
Invisalign can be a good choice for kids who need orthodontic treatment. It’s particularly suitable for children who are disciplined enough to wear the aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours a day and who might feel self-conscious about wearing traditional braces. Invisalign aligners are also removable, which makes maintaining good oral hygiene easier, as kids can brush and floss normally. However, whether Invisalign is the right choice for a child should be determined in consultation with an orthodontist, as some complex dental issues might be better treated with traditional braces.
How long do kids have to wear invisalign?
The duration of Invisalign treatment for kids depends on the complexity of the case.
