As a parent, it\u2019s up to you to help your child see it through to the end, even when it may feel inconvenient or they want to give up. You may be the only person that can inspire enough confidence in them to allow them to reach the finish line, especially if you keep reminding them that the prize is a straighter, healthier smile! Read on to learn three tips to help encourage your child to make it to the end of their Invisalign Teen treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Help Them Keep Their Eye on the Prize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In a long-term treatment process like orthodontics, it can be easy to let small inconveniences stand in the way of remembering just why you\u2019re doing it. In the case of your teenager, this can be amplified due to their development and where they\u2019re at in their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re out making friends, participating in hobbies like band or sports, and truly in their peak developmental period of their life. Because of this, it will be important that you help remind them just why they\u2019re undergoing Invisalign, whether that\u2019s for a more confident smile, to prevent future dental problems by balancing their bite, or all of the above!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Establish a Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, your teen may feel overwhelmed by the changes to their routine they will need to make after starting Invisalign treatment. What\u2019s the best time to clean their aligners at school? How can they tell if they\u2019re wearing their trays for 20 hours a day? These are the small (but, really big!) details you can help them plan and set timers for in their phone to make the transition to life with Invisalign as smooth as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make It Easy to Keep Track of Their Trays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common reasons why Invisalign Teen cases get set back is because patients lost their aligners! Whether that\u2019s from accidentally throwing them away with their trash at lunch or losing them at a sleepover, these mishaps can set back their timeline by up to several weeks in some cases. You can help prevent lost trays by keeping Invisalign cases in every room and every bag to ensure that your teenager always has a safe place to store them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a few helpful nudges in the right direction, you can help your child start and end their Invisalign treatment on the right foot! While there may be some bumps along the way, reminding them that it will all be worth it in the end is the best way to help them reach the finish line!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Arrechea has over two decades of experience in the dental field and a true passion for helping her patients achieve their best and healthiest smiles.
