Sara,<\/p>\n

It may be physically possible for your daughter to use Invisalign at twelve, depending on her specific case. However, I want to caution you about a couple of things. \u00a0There are some great advantages of invisalign<\/a> over traditional braces. \u00a0One of the biggest for teens is the ease of oral hygiene. Many teens have a lot of trouble getting their teeth clean enough with all those metal and wires. \u00a0Even those who had never previously had cavities, often end up with decay problems with braces. \u00a0Because Invisalign is removable, it makes it ideal for keeping their teeth clean easily.<\/p>\n

That advantage is also a problem. They’re removable. It is a rare twelve year old who will not lose their aligners. You also have to consider compliance. \u00a0She’ll have to keep the aligners in for 22 hours out of the day for the treatment to be effective.<\/p>\n

If you think she can handle that responsibility, then Invisalign may work for her.<\/p>\n
