A Parent’s Guide to Braces and Invisalign

One of the questions parents ask us the most is “Which is better for children: Braces or Invisalign?”

The answer is that it depends on each child’s specific needs. At our practice we prioritize spending time listening to your goals – and theirs.

Traditional metal or clear braces can be a great choice for kids.

There’s minimal involvement except for avoiding foods that can damage brackets and wires.

And of course, brushing well is a top priority.

On the other hand, clear aligners are an excellent alternative for patients who are good at keeping to a schedule.

They’re also a great choice if you know that effective brushing is already a challenge.

In most cases, both treatment options are efficient and effective at giving your child their ideal smile and making you smile along the way.

At Boren Orthodontics, we use a sophisticated ITERO Scanner instead of goopy impressions to save everyone valuable time and provide a cleaner, quicker result.

Dr. Boren has had years of specialized orthodontic training making him and his team experts at treatment planning and executing beautiful smiles. You and your child will leave our office feeling confident about your treatment plan’s end result knowing your smile is in the best hands.
