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

Q.
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

A.
Hello
Invisalign can treat crossed over teeth and are comfortable to wear and virtually invisible. The only thing with teenagers is to make sure they wear the aligners for the recommended 22 hours per day for the full effect. Invisalign have a product called Invisalign Teen that helps monitor this. I would recommend you use Invisalign Doc Locator on their website and look for someone near you who has experience such as a Platinum or Platinum Elite dentist with Invisalign Teen experience.
Good luck
