A Right Of Passage For Teenagers #INVStraightTalk #AD

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Invisalign

In the 80’s and 90’s most of my classmates and even my first boyfriend wore braces, it was a right of passage.  I even felt like an outsider because I never wore them, but the friends that wore them envied ME.  All my braces wearing friends complained that they could not enjoy certain foods for the sake of it getting stuck in the wires or having to visit the dentist for a weekly tightening of the bands.  YIKES!  Guess for them they were just known as the kid with wire mouths.

But now with the help of Invisalign, adults and teens now have a modern choice for straightening their teeth.  So you might be asking yourself what is the difference between traditional metal braces and Invisalign?

No more wires and brackets required – Invisalign is the clear alternative to metal braces that uses a series of virtually invisible and removable aligners that gradually move teeth over time. The benefits include no food restrictions, ability to easily maintain healthy dental brushing habits, minimal interference with sports or other activities, and teeth get straightened without most people knowing you are in treatment.

When compared to metal (or even ceramic wire & bracket) braces, the clear aligner option has many benefits. Although the cost is roughly about the same as traditional braces, the system usually requires fewer office visits, shorter appointments and no “emergency” visits for broken wires or brackets. Metal wires and brackets can cause irritation or even accident-related injuries, especially for teens involved in sports.

Other advantages of using aligners, are that it’s easier to keep your teeth clean. You just remove your aligners, and brush and floss your teeth like you normally would.

Primary reasons teens & parents love Invisalign….

• Effectively straightens teeth
• Made especially made for teens
• Fits teens active lifestyles
• It’s removable
• It’s looks great
• It’s comfortable!

If you would like to learn more about Invisalign, be sure to connect with them on Twitter and Facebook. This would be a great way to connect with those that have had Invisalign and ask them about their experience.

An Orthodontist is your best choice for Invisalign who have intensive training in tooth movement and bite relationships, while dentists receive limited training in these areas. If you would like to locate an orthodontist near you, visit the Invisalign Doctor Locator. You can also take the Invisalign Smile Assessment to find out if Invisalign is right for you or your child.

Have you or someone you’ve known used Invisalign? And if so, what was their experience?
