[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the kid and whether the Invisalign’s require rubber bands to reinforce movement. DS started Invisalign at age 10 and they worked beautifully. Finished at 12 and his teeth looked good. No rubber bands at that stage. Then his teeth started moving back and at 13 he needed Invisaligns with rubber bands. The rubber bands were a pain he had to take them off and on every time he ate. No time after lunch to put them back in. Didn’t work well with his mouthguards for sports. He started to hate the Invisaligns and got more sporadic about wearing them. Ortho kept lecturing him but after two years he asked for metal braces. They are so much easier for him to handle. Wish we had just gone to metal braces for the second round. Wasted a few thousand on the second round of Invisalign.[/quote]
