Make a Smart Move: Start the School Year with Invisalign

At this time of year, many things are wrapping up and others are beginning – namely, another school year. This period of change is an excellent time for growth and self-improvement, and that can include correcting a misaligned smile with Invisalign. Whether you’re a student, teacher, or parent, Invisalign can help you start the school year right.

Invisalign for Teachers

Whether you will be standing in front of a blackboard or behind a computer screen, whether you’re teaching elementary-age children or college kids, as a teacher your face will be watched all day every day by observant students. If you’ve always been self-conscious of your crooked, gapped, or misaligned teeth, Invisalign corrects these imperfections discreetly.

You’ll be able to instruct and guide without metal braces getting in the way. Your students won’t be distracted by brackets and wires on your teeth, and all that talking you have to do won’t be cumbersome for your lips and cheeks because Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable. Getting your clear aligners into the rotation of responsibilities with everything else that begins with a new school year will make the transition to being an Invisalign patient that much easier.

Invisalign for Students

Braces are considered a rite of passage by many. Walk into any middle school or junior high and you’ll see a large number of kids sporting braces. It’s the best age to correct any alignment issues because the jaw is still growing, permanent teeth are erupting, and making changes is easier. Subjecting teens to metal mouth, though, is still a tough sell. For the kids who qualify for Invisalign Teen, school will be a whole lot easier if they have invisible braces accompanying them along the way.

While many parents worry about whether their kids are responsible enough to manage Invisalign, dentists can assure you that teens are motivated to have such an under-the-radar method of straightening their teeth. They wear their aligners 20 to 22 hours a day (and small blue dots called wear indicators on each aligner tell this tale accurately). They clean their teeth and aligners properly. And they love that they can still eat whatever they want without restrictions as long as Invisalign is out of their mouth. Teens and invisible braces are a great combo for the right candidate.

Invisalign for Parents

For the parents who have long wanted to improve their smile, there is no better time than the start of a school year to do something good for yourself. You’ll be transitioning right along with your kids – as they begin a new grade, you’ll begin a new venture to upgrade your smile.

The beauty of Invisalign is that it doesn’t get in the way of your life. Visits to your Haymarket Invisalign provider for check-ups are only every six weeks or so. You’ll be sent home with multiple sets of aligners to change according to your dentist’s instructions, about every two weeks. You may even qualify for Invisalign Express, a faster alignment system for minor misalignment. And you can go about your job and other responsibilities without metal braces getting in the way.
