What Does Your Smile Say About You?
No only is our smile one of the first things that other people notice about us, our smile can say a lot about us as well. Having a healthy smile with straight, bright white teeth is received much more pleasantly and exudes confidence rather than a stained crooked toothed smile. However, did you know that most people are not born with perfectly straight teeth? Since many people are born with crooked teeth to some degree the truth is in order to achieve that ideal straight smile we all need a little teeth straightening help and doing so when we’re in our teens is the best time to do it.
This Mom of Four Knows Her Plan
As a mom of four children, one of which is still a full time thumb sucker (gah!) I am bound to have at least one if not all of my kids in some sort of teeth straightening system when they are teenagers. My eight year old has already lost eight teeth and his adult teeth are coming in very wonky. Every time he smiles, it’s an adorable array of big, crooked teeth. Knowing that we will be heading in to the braces world with him, I would like to know as much as I can about our options before we get there. So what is my plan? My plan is to be well informed and to choose the best options not only for him but for my budget as well.
Why Invisalign Makes Sense
One of the biggest concerns I can assume we will face in just a few years when my son is a preteen is my son’s fear of not “looking cool” with traditional braces on. Being a preteen or a teenager is tough enough without the wires and bands of traditional braces. Invisalign Teen clear aligners straighten teeth without traditional wires and brackets giving teens the confidence to live life to the fullest while improving their smile. So he will still be able to take a zillion selfies, eat what he wants and play sports like baseball without intrusion. Invisalign Teen is just as effective as traditional wire and bracket braces and can correct the most common teeth straitening issues from severe cases to more minor and cosmetic adjustments.

How Does Invisalign Work For Teens?
Invisalign is a custom made set of smooth, clear BPA-free plastic aligners that can be removed for eating, flossing and brushing teeth. As your teen wears each set of new aligners (aligners are changed every two weeks) their teeth will gradually be pushed and moved into a straighter position.

I know what you may be thinking: “Gah! That sounds expensive!” But I assure you it is not! Unlike the common myth, Invisalign Teen costs about the same as traditional braces. Not only that but Invisalign Teen is covered by most dental insurance policies just like traditional braces. Even if for some reason your dental insurance doesn’t apply, many doctors will help parents find options to make straightening their child’s teeth more affordable. Many offer flexible and affordable monthly finance plans that can be as low as $99 per month. You see, choosing Invisalign for your teen just makes sense!
