My 11 year old daughter still has some baby teeth, would she be able to have Invisalign?

Q.
Hi there,

I have a 11 year old daughter whose teeth are in pretty bad shape and I was wondering if she would be able to get the invisalign treatment? It is her two front teeth which are the worse, as they are bucked due to a dummy she has when she was younger, and are slightly gapped. They are both her adult teeth but she does have a few teeth which are still in the baby stage. In your opinion is 11 too young for braces and if so when would be the best age or stage? I just want her to have nice teeth to avoid any potential future tauntings.

thanks for your time doctor

Hello I would recommend you ask your dentist to refer your daughter to an orthodontist to have an assessment of the severity of her problem. Once the assessment has been done, then the orthodontist can give you the treatment options and see if invisalign is a viable option. Hope this helps and good luck
