The removable nature of the aligners will also let your teen enjoy all of their favorite snacks when they go to see a movie with their friends.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>There is a blue compliance dot on the aligners so you can check to see if your teen is wearing them as much as they should.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The price of Invisalign is comparable to that of traditional braces in Coatesville.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>You can get up to six complimentary replacement aligners if your teen accidentally damages one (or a few) of theirs.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Invisalign may be more comfortable than traditional braces.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Periodic checkup appointments for Invisalign are usually very quick \u2014 just 15 minutes or so if the treatment is proceeding according to plan.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Potential Downsides to Invisalign Teen<\/h2>\r\nAlthough Invisalign is a wonderful option for many teenagers, there are a few potential downsides to it that you should be aware of:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>A successful Invisalign treatment requires a measure of self-discipline. You should be confident that your teen is responsible enough to wear their aligners for the recommended 20 \u2013 22 hours each day.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Your teen should not wear their aligners while eating. They might be a bit embarrassed in front of their friends at school when lunchtime rolls around and they have to take out their Invisalign tray.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Oral hygiene is of vital importance during any orthodontic treatment, and Invisalign is no exception. Your teen will have to carry a toothbrush and some floss with them so they can clean their teeth after every meal.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>Making the Right Choice for Your Teen<\/h2>\r\nYou know your teenager\u2019s habits, personality, and tendencies, and you should carefully consider such factors when you\u2019re deciding which orthodontic treatment is right for them. Invisalign Teen tends to work best for young people who are determined to make a success out of their treatment.
