Would my 12 year old be suitable for invisalign braces?

Q. Hello, my son is 12 years old and i feel he needs braces. i was just wondering, if he wanted the braces would the invisalign be good for him? obviously he\’s still growing and teeth are still moving around etc.. is 12 a good age for invisalign? or could you suggest something else? thank you for your time. Linda.,

A. Dear Linda, 12 is a little young, but if his canine teeth are through, then Invisalign Teen would work Dr R Kumar BDSLDSRCS

  Okay so I am 12 years old also and going to be 13 in January. My teeth are pretty straight already but i want them to be more straight on the bottom, is it possible for me to get them? If so how much would they be?
