Clear Braces for Teens: 5 Benefits that Will Make Your Teen Smile

Invisalign® Teen and other clear braces options offer teenagers many benefits that metal braces do not. If you’re a parent or teenager considering clear braces, you’re probably wondering about the benefits. Learn more about Clear Braces in Miami.

Here are five benefits of clear braces to consider:

1. Clear Braces are Less Visible

This is probably the most obvious benefit of clear braces. They simply blend in with your natural tooth color, making them less noticeable than metal braces. Clear braces may be the best choice if your teenager is self-conscious about their teeth.

Less visible means that clear braces are also less likely to get in the way of daily activities. Whether playing sports or instruments or simply smiling for photos, clear braces aren’t as distracting as metal braces.

Some clear braces are even transparent, like Invisalign® Teen.

2. Clear Braces can be More Comfortable

Metal braces might irritate the inside of your mouth, but clear braces use smooth materials like ceramic. This means they don’t have as many sharp edges that may rub against your gums.

Comfort is essential for Invisalign® because you wear aligners for at least 22 hours a day to be effective. Therefore, if they are uncomfortable, your teenager is less likely to wear them as often as they should.

3. Clear Braces are Easier to Eat with

Eating is a fundamental part of life, and clear braces make it easier to enjoy food. Unfortunately, metal braces can make it difficult to eat certain foods and may hamper your teenager’s appetite. With Invisalign® Teen, clear aligners are removable for mealtimes, making eating even easier.

Plus, no one wants to see their food stuck in their braces. There’s less of a need to worry about that with aligners.

4. Oral Hygiene Improves

Oral hygiene is important for everyone, especially teenagers concerned with their appearance. With clear braces, it’s easier to brush and floss around the brackets and wires. This means that your teenagers can keep their teeth and gums healthy while wearing clear braces.

Plus, their teeth will be healthy, strong, and even easier to care for upon completion of treatment.

5. Clear Braces like Invisalign® are Removable

Braces like Invisalign® clear aligners are removable. This means that your teenager can take them out for special occasions such as a school presentation, graduation, or prom night. They should take them out when they need to brush and floss their teeth making hygiene the same as if they weren’t undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Removing clear braces is also a benefit if your teenager plays sports or musical instruments. They can simply take them out when needed and put them back in when ready.

Some clear braces, like ceramic braces, are not removable. However, clear brackets and wires are available to make orthodontic treatment less noticeable.

The Bottom Line

Clear braces offer many benefits that traditional braces do not. They may be the right choice if your teenager is looking for a less visible and more comfortable alternative.
