Brace face no more! Back in the “day”, you know when I was a teenager, all they had to offer was the metal braces. Even further back in the day, my old timer dentist had suggested I use a popsicle stick to try to bring one of my teeth forward, which is just too funny. Apparently, I just didn’t have the time to sit with the popsicle stick to straighten my teeth.
Now there is a clear alternative to metal braces – Invisalign Teen. Your smile can be created with a series of clear aligners, which are custom fit for your teeth. The average treatment takes just about a year and is approximately the same price as metal braces.
My oldest daughter was just placed in traditional braces and I didn’t even ask about Invisalign Teen because I’ve always heard they were so much more expensive than traditional braces. Depending on your provider, the price can be comparable to metal braces with some very important advantages, with the most obvious being they are clear and more I will detail below.
Invisalign Teen is designed to be worn 20-22 hours a day. This means you can take them off to eat, brush your teeth, or if you have a hot date or important event. There is also no metal brackets or wires to poke your mouth and gums and I remember how painful that could be!
You can also now get up to six free individual aligners because as we all know these types of things can be lost easily by teens!
Healthy Benefits of Straight Teeth:
– Self Confidence
– Easier Brushing and Flossing
– Healthier Gums
– Less Stress on Joints

I had braces until i. Was 16. Way too long, in my opinion. But I am glad got them in retrospect.
I subscribe to your blog’s rss feed thru google reader.
No braces for me, but I am looking into Invisaline now. It is amazing how the mouth keeps changing as you age. I hope to keep them looking great forever.
Fortunately, my teeth never required braces. But I do remember how self-conscious my girlfriends who had the old-style were and how hard they worked to keep their teeth/wire braces clean.
I remember my sister used to call me metal mouth all the time because I had braces. I hated that!
I was in my 20’s when i had ces! They did one set on the bottom clear and one set on the top with multi colored bands! It looked pretty cool. I didn’t mind it at all!
All I remember is metal, metal, metal.
I’ve never had braces but I do see them in our future. Both of my girls have my gap between their top 2 teeth. I’m not looking forward to that day. lol thank you!
I never had braces but they were horrible looking when I was a kid. Invisalign makes better looking and more comfortable ones than the braces of yore.

I remember that I broke my braces once…a bracket right in the front broke. I knew that my dad would have to pay extra to take me in to have it fixed and I knew he would be mad about that so I just never mentioned it until my next regularly scheduled appointment. My orthodontist was livid with me and one of my front teeth continues to be a bit crooked to this day because of it.

Yes I had braces and headgear. I had to wear my headgear to school and as if I wasn’t made fun of enough that just added to it. UGH Braces stink I wish that we had invisilign back then

The girl was SO mean to her about getting the impressions…she gagged and threw up on her. I secretly giggled. She had it coming!

I actually shrank my retainers two days after I got my braces off because I put them in a to-go box with left overs from a restaurant. I tried to wear them for a couple weeks the way they were because I didn’t want to tell my mom, but when she found out she was not happy.

Food getting stuck and brushing too much are what I remember about braces.
I despised braces but they ended up doing me a solid when they were off :) One of my memories was when I first got my spacers in. My teeth hurt really bad and my math teacher noticed so she offered me some of those soft lofthouse cookies. She was really sweet.

Love Bargain Briana!!!
I never had braces but I want some now :)
I can’t speak for others who have worn braces, but during the time I wore braces the main reason I didn’t smile very often was because I didn’t want everybody catching a close up of what I had eaten last!

I had braces for six years! They tried out these new plastic ones on me (they were clear but identical to the metal braces) for two years until they realized that they were crap (they wouldn’t stay glued properly, etc.) and then they put me in the metal ones and I had to have them for four more years because the plastic ones had really done nothing for me.

I didn’t have braces, so I don’t have any memories of my own. But my daughter had them, and (years later) I’m STILL finding the little rubber bands!

I never had braces growing up, but my cousins did and I remember them getting the little bands changed to different colors all the time, and their mouths being sore from getting them tightened every so often. My oldest needs braces, so this would be awesome!

I had braces for the SECOND time in my early twenties so I had a metal mouth when I met my husband. I got my braces off a few weeks before we got married. My favorite memory is actually the day I got them off and the look on his face when he saw my NEW smile! That first “metal free” kiss was pretty amazing too!
I remember the braces being silver and covering a great deal of my teeth. I also remember wearing them for 5 years. Much too long!

I had braces when I was younger…and I so remember the summertime when I couldn’t eat corn on the cob….my mom would slice all the corn off the cob for me…but it just wasn’t the same! And then the worst thing was after the braces came off & I had a retainer. One time, I wrapped it in a napkin at school & accidentally threw it away with my trash!!
when i was in middle school i had braces, i remember at one point i got rubber bands and putting a couple of unused ones on the end of my pen and flicking them in class. lol
very irritating
never had braces, but my sis did. poor girl.
I didnt have to have braces.. I was kind of jealous of the other kids.. now unfortuantely my kids are not so lucky.. they will be needing braces.:-( Im glad there are other choices than metal braces out there

I hated how food would also get stuck in my braces. It was rought trying not to smile until I had a chance to brush my teeth.
The worse part about braces was the headgear!
Never had braces, now I always have dentist’s trying to get me to have them now, but my daughter is going to need them and she comes first of course!

With 5 daughters, our parents couldn’t afford braces for us. Though all of us could certainly have benefited from them! Thanks for the giveaways.
Thankfully I never had to have braces. However, now that I’m an adult I’m dealing with the mess my incoming wisdom teeth caused for my bottom teeth. Hopefully not enough to need braces!

I was lucky enough not to have to wear braces, but both my sons did. The absolute best memory of each of them having braces was the day they came off and I got to see that beautiful smile!
I remember lots of little cuts inside my mouth if I didnt cover the stray wire ends with that ugly wax. The outcome was gorgeous, but enduring braces was bordering on torture.

I remember having braces, and boy, did they hurt! I couldn’t wait to get them off, especially after having to wear that embarrassing head gear at night.
I sat in my room and removed them with needlenosed pliers in8TH GRADE.
I had braces or ortho appliances in my mouth from age 6- age 18 when I told them to take it out! LOL.
getting my wire caught in my cheek
I was lucky enough to never need braces. I did feel for those friends who did. They looked so uncomfortable.
I got check out for them but my parents never bought them. lol
I never had braces myself but my son just got his off a couple of weeks ago. He would always get the green bands cuz that’s his favorite color, and now he has a camo retainer, lol.
I just remember all the trips to the orthodontist and those sore teeth for days!
