actually, invisalign arent good for teens..your teeth are still moving..my daughter just finished with braces, and you would never have known that she had the metal ones..the type she chose were gold braces, and instead of metal wire tieing the braces on, she had colored rubber bands..it actually looked pretty cool..she would change the colors everytime she went in..she was pretty nervous that people would laugh at her or something, but when she would go to school, the kids thought they were cool looking..just a thought..oh and by the way, she just turned 13 in oct..
Reply:I always thought braces were a status symbol. You should be glad that you are getting help.
Reply:Yes, since they mold them to your teeth, it doesn't really matter your age.





However, Invisalign braces look extremely awkward on people. Since they sit over your teeth, it's obvious that you have them on and you can see the thick layer of plastic on your teeth. And if you didn't brush your teeth perfectly or if you have something stuck in between, the plastic makes it obvious. It also gives you a lisp and forces your tongue to move awkwardly when you speak, especially if you wear them on the top AND bottom. They might even cut your mouth.





When I had my braces they were metal, but the retainers I had to wear were Invisalign. I absolutely HATED them!! They're uncomfortable, look weird, make you talk funny, cut my mouth up, and were a pain to clean. I stopped wearing them eventually because they pissed me off so much.





If you want them--think about it carefully!! They always seem like a great idea but look at all the negatives that they don't point out in the brochure. Because after having them, I can't stand them!!!
