so, i have to get braces and i told my dad about invisalign and he said that they wouldnt put those on a kid's mouth cause they can hurt the kid's teeth if they like accidently shut their teeth together. Is this true or is my dad full of crap?
Can invisalign actually cause damage to your teeth?
Full of crap, but invisalign is much more expensive and only works on very slight problems, Not for most people. If you have more than just slight crowding (generalized crowding, overlapping of teeth, turned teeth, out of alignment teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, etc) invisalign isn't right for you. Also, it will take longer.
Reply:They usually don't give invisalign to kids because it requires too much in terms of compliance. You need to really be on top of your treatment and wear the aligners almost all the time. Kids will likely lose the aligner and treatment will never move forward. It's expensive and cannot handle the full range of movements likely required.
