Would Invisalign work for my 14 year old daughter?

Q.
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.
A.
She can have invisalign teen she would need to assessed for suitabilty but I am sure she could have it, keep her metal brace on at the moment and find a good invisalign dentist for a consultation. she can always have tooth coloured ceramic brace which is less obvious or a lingual brace ( inside surface of teeth )
