Braces: The Classic Smile Fixer

If you’re wondering whether braces or Invisalign clear aligners are the way to go, we’ve got you covered! Let’s dive into how each option can help your teen feel awesome about their smile.

Invisalign Aligners: Confidence in Stealth Mode

If your teen wants a more low-key option, Invisalign clear aligners are the ultimate secret weapon. These nearly invisible trays are super discreet and removable, so your teen can still enjoy all their favorite foods (hello, popcorn!) and brush their teeth with ease. The best part? No one will even know they’re straightening their teeth! They’ll just need to be responsible enough to wear them for 22 hours a day—but if they’ve got that down, Invisalign aligners are a fantastic choice.

So, How Do You Choose?

Here’s a quick rundown to help you decide:

1. Responsibility:

Invisalign aligners need more discipline, while braces do the work once they’re on.

2. Complexity:

Braces are perfect for more challenging cases, while aligners shine with mild to moderate issues.

3. Lifestyle:

If your teen’s super active, braces are durable, but if they want a subtle approach, aligners are practically invisible.

Dr. Michael and Dr. Mark Lenz will help you and your teen figure out the perfect option based on their personality and needs. We’re all about making orthodontic care fun and stress-free!
