Invisalign is much more comfortable than traditional braces, as long if she is a good candidate. There are some things to take into consideration.<\/p>\n<p>First, they are slightly more expensive than traditional braces. But, given your first child&#8217;s experience, I doubt you&#8217;d mind.<\/p>\n<p>The second one is your youngest child&#8217;s responsibility level. Unlike braces, Invisalign is removable. So, if your child won&#8217;t keep them in, that could be a problem. The treatment only works if they&#8217;re kept in the prescribed amount of time. \u00a0There is an Invisalign Teen which has a few replacement aligners, but only you know your child.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regiondental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tulsa Dentist<\/a> Dr. Ryan Noah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When my first daughter had braces they hurt her all the time.
