At Nowlin Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign® For Teens so that you can straighten your teeth without anyone noticing. If you want to improve your appearance, this is an excellent way to do so. When evaluating Invisalign® vs. Metal Braces, there are several things that you should know.
Metal Braces
Metal braces are a reliable solution for straightening your teeth that have been used by people for decades. In fact, your parents may have used them when they were teenagers. While they work well, the technology is similar in that you still need to have a metal bracket placed on each tooth with a wire threaded between them and secured with rubber bands. Some kids like how they can pick out fun rubber band colors to match their mood or a holiday. If that’s not your idea of fun, metal braces may not be for you.
Invisalign® For Teens
This is an excellent orthodontics treatment for teens that want to straighten their teeth without standing out. Most people can’t tell that you are wearing anything because the aligners are completely clear. This means that you can smile without worrying about your appearance. In fact, as the aligners move your teeth into position, your smile will start to look better. That means that you don’t have to wait until the end of your treatment to notice a difference in your appearance. When considering Invisalign® For Teens vs. Metal Braces, decide how you want to look during your orthodontics treatment.
