Invisalign Teen with a giveaway worth up to $7000

Every time I take my kids to the dentist I cringe.  Not because I don't like the dentist, I do, they are great, but I am worried about Kristina, her teeth and my pocket book in the next few years.  Sometimes the dentist will tell me bits and pieces about what he thinks is going to happen with Kristinas teeth but he says its hard for him to know for sure until her mouth stops growing and the teeth finally stop shifting.

Ultimately it looks like she is going to need some sort of intervention teeth wise.  They are definitely crowded and there isn't enough room in their for all of her monster teeth.  I thought that it would be better to do something about it now before they all go crooked but the dentist says that we can't.  All I can do at this point is research what I want to do when the time comes and try to save a whole lot of cash!

When I learned of Invisalign I was pretty intrigued.  Basically what Invisaline is is an alternative to the classic treatment of crooked teeth, metal braces.  Metal braces can be very painful, they can scratch your mouth, you get food stuck in them, when they are tightened I have heard that its very painful and of course they don't look so great and don't make you feel so great when you have them.  Of course this isn't to say that braces are not a great product just that there are some flaws with them. 

Invisalign takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you simply wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You simply pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete and you achieve the confident smile that you've always wanted. The best part about the whole process is that most people won't even know you're straightening your teeth.

Invisalign is not only available for adults. The new Invisalign Teen was developed with leading orthodontists who understand the unique treatment and compliance needs of teens as well as their active lifestyles.  Every patient’s needs are different and there are many factors that determine the cost of Invisalign treatment. But, in most cases, Invisalign is comparable in costs to traditional braces, is covered by most dental insurance plans, and affordable financing options are always available. 

Invisalign’s treatment capabilities are not limited to mild/cosmetic cases – Invisalign can help correct a broad range of cases: Overly crowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, crossbite, overbite and underbite.  Treatment time is about the same as with metal braces and in some cases, shorter.  Invisalign treatment is also ideal for busy parents because there are never any emergency appointment from broken wires/brackets; it requires fewer appointment (because you get your sets in advance) and less chair time (for those uncomfortable tightenings)

My brother had braces as a child as well as the hated headgear!  He was definitely made fun of by his friends, and maybe me, kids are mean.  I couldn't imagine watching my child go through that.  Its hard to deal with bullying in the first place but when you can prevent it, possibly, by going another route I would totally do that.  Also how annoying would it be to go to the orthodontist every few weeks and then having to get in right away when you have troubles.  I barley get any sleep as it is because I have to much to do and then to fit in all of those appointments, no thanks!

Something else that I was very happy to see was that I could have Kristinas teeth done with Invisalign in my own town.  Its available in so many places, there is a place on the site, here, that you can go to and see if its available anywhere close to you.  Its available at so many orthodontist and dentist offices and they are able to do it for you right there.  I guess unless you ask about different options everyone just assumes that braces are the only thing available.  Not anymore!  Make sure you ask your dentist or orthodontist and check out Invisalign!
