[quote=Anonymous]Both my somewhat ditzy teenage son and my very responsible teenage daughter have done very well on Invisalign. Not a single cavity between them (son is already done and onto the nighttime retainers, Vivara). One reason our ortho recommended them is because it's much easier to brush thoroughly and floss (although honestly my kids don't). With braces, the odds that kids will floss is almost nil.

Both kids play wind instruments, and that was a factor.

If you follow directions and brush the aligners with soap and water (not toothpaste) twice a day, they don't smell bad or cause bad breath.

We have had a couple of lost sets but it has not been a big deal -- we call the office and they say yes, move to the next set.

But I wouldn't go to a dentist for Invisalign -- only an orthodontist. Ours was very upfront about the pros and cons of braces (of different types) vs. Invisalign, and the price was the same, so I didn't feel any sales pressure and could trust the practice to give the best information possible to inform our decision.
