This is my beautiful GlitterGurl.
Notice that million dollar smile!
This was not always the case with my pretty girl. I don't have permission to share her before picture, but trust me when I say she was a hot mess. You see, GlitterGurl was a thumb a sucker.
So even before she had her braces installed she needed a palate expander. Which is a device that widens the roof of the mouth to make room for permanent teeth. The thumb sucking created a very narrow palate and caused some major overcrowding of her teeth. Once the expander was installed it had to be widened gradually over the course of several months.
Then came the braces!
Metal wired braces.
Along with weekly visits to the orthondontist.
And restrictions!
- No gum chewing
- No hard foods
- No sticky foods
- Remember to floss
Oh and what a pain in the butt THAT was. In between brackets and wires. Poor girl had to thread the floss through a loop and insert between each and every wire!
We should have bought stock in the little wax packets she needed to apply to the brackets so they wouldn't cut up the inside of her mouth, and even then it didn't always work.
But her biggest complaint was THEY. WERE. UGLY!
What if I told you there was now an option to straighten teeth without metal braces?
Invisalign
Teen
clear
aligners
are
removable
and
can
straighten
teeth
without
a
mouth
full
of
metal
and wires. They're virtually invisible!
Teens
can
play
sports
without
fear
of
injury
and
continue
cheerleading,
musical
instruments,
acting
and
singing
without
interference.
Because
it's
removable,
brushing
and
flossing
is
easy
and
no
food
restrictions
to
worry
about
either.
Invisalign
Teen
eliminates
emergency
ortho
visits
for
broken
wires
and
brackets
and
requires
fewer
appointments
since
several
aligner
sets
are
provided
in
advance.
Yet Invisalign
Teen
is
just
as
effective
as
traditional
wire
and
bracket
braces
and
can
effectively
treat a
wide
variety
of
orthodontic
issues
including
severe
bite
issues.
From
underbite
to
crossbite,
deepbite
to
overbite
and
overly
crowded
to
widely
spaced,
advancements
to
Invisalign's
patented
technology
continues
to
increase
the
complexity
of
issues
that
can
be
treated.
Your teens Invisalign treatment won't break the bank either! The
cost
of
Invisalign
is
usually
comparable
to
the
cost
of
traditional
braces
and
many
dental
insurance
plans
cover
Invisalign
just
as
they
would
braces.
Did you know that The
American
Association
of
Orthodontics
recommends
taking
children
for
their
first
orthodontic
check-‐up
no
later
than
age
7.
The
American
Dental
Association
says
this
is
because,
“Your
child’s
dentist
can
spot
problems
with
emerging
teeth
and
jaw
growth
early
on,
while
the
primary
teeth
are
present.”
