I’m Worried My Teenage Daughter Won’t Wear Her Aligners Properly. What Do You Suggest?

July 28th, 2014

Hello.

My daughter turns 15 next April, and our family dentist has made suggestions that she might need braces on both her lower and upper teeth. Obviously she’s at that age where looks mean everything to her and she’s very self-conscious about what people at school might think or say to her. The dentist did mention Invisalign and it does seem like that’s the one she wants to go for but it’s going to cost me a lot of money as I’ve been told they are not available on the NHS. I’d be happy knowing that she was comfortable at school but then I’m concerned that she’ll take the aligners out when I’m not around and obviously that would be a waste of my money. What is your suggestion? Thank you.

Will Invisalign work for my 14 year old daughter?

May 29th, 2012

Hello,
My daughter was told a few years ago that in time she would need braces for both her upper and lower teeth. She is 14 and really doesn’t want braces for the usual teenage reasons for wanting to look nice, not to be picked on etc
She has been doing her own internet research and had found out about Invisalign and now will talk about nothing else.
I am aware that you cant get these on the NHS so it would be costly for me and I am worried that because you can take them out that she will take advantage of this when I am not around to see her. What is your opinion?

Would Invisalign work for my 14 year old daughter?

May 28th, 2012

My daughter has a metal brace that is causing us many problems. She is 14 and finds wearing the metal brace very embarrassing and humiliating.
She also regularly complains that the brace is rubbing her inner cheeks and mouth. She always has ulcers and bleeding. We have tried a wax that you apply to the brace but it hasn’t made much difference.
Do you think it is too late to consider Invisalign for her? I know I will have to pay privately but I am upset at the pain my daughter is in.
She has been wearing the brace for five months.
Thank you for your help.

Would Invisalign be a good brace choice for my 14 year old son?

April 12th, 2012

Hello Doctor Thorne

Do you believe that invisalign would be a good treatment for a 14 year old? My son’s front teeth are crossed and he feels very uncomfortable with himself. I would like to help him get the smile he wants but without having to feel embarrassed about have wires all over his teeth that people can see, so Invisalign sounds perfect. Is he likely to find a good level of treatment with invisalign?

Thank you
