Kids Can Wear Clear Aligners, Too! Discreet Orthodontics For Kids In Raleigh, NC

Home » Blog » Kids Can Wear Clear Aligners, Too! Discreet Orthodontics For Kids In Raleigh, NC

Discreet orthodontics for kids
  • Laster Orthodontics
  • September 15, 2024

Many parents believe that traditional braces are the sole option for their children’s orthodontic treatment. But did you know that kids can benefit from clear aligners, too? At Laster Orthodontics, we are proud to offer discreet orthodontics for kids in Raleigh, NC, giving young patients a comfortable and effective way to achieve beautiful smiles. Clear aligners are no longer just for adults or teens; they’re a fantastic solution for children as well.

The Benefits of Clear Aligners for Kids

Traditional metal braces have long been a reliable orthodontic treatment, while clear aligners offer a contemporary and inventive method for addressing misalignments. For kids, these systems offer unique advantages that enhance their lifestyle and orthodontic experience.

A Comfortable Alternative

Clear aligners are crafted to fit securely over teeth, applying gentle pressure to progressively move teeth into alignment. In contrast to metal braces, clear aligners offer a smooth and more comfortable option for children to wear daily.

This comfort is particularly advantageous for energetic children who play sports or musical instruments. With aligners, there’s no need to worry about mouth injuries from braces-related incidents on the field or in practice.

Confidence and Aesthetics

One of the top benefits of clear aligners is their discreet appearance. Kids, just like adults, can feel self-conscious about wearing braces. Clear aligners are nearly undetectable, enabling your child to smile and engage with others confidently without attracting focus to their orthodontic care. For school-aged kids, this can make a big difference in how they feel about their appearance during this important phase of development.

Simple Maintenance for Better Oral Health

For kids, maintaining good oral hygiene can be challenging, especially with the added complexity of navigating around brackets and wires. Clear aligners are removable, allowing children to easily brush and floss their teeth as they normally would. This means there’s less risk of plaque buildup, gum disease, or tooth decay during treatment.

Since aligners can be taken out during meals, children are also free to enjoy their favorite foods without restrictions, making orthodontic treatment a seamless part of their daily routine.

Making Orthodontics Fun and Simple for Kids

For children to succeed with clear aligners, they need to understand how to care for them and wear them consistently. At Laster Orthodontics, we make sure that every child knows how to properly use their aligners. We also schedule regular check-ins to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed.

Our friendly, knowledgeable team helps kids feel comfortable during every visit. We aim to create a stress-free environment where children can look forward to their appointments. Whether it’s with a warm smile, a clear explanation, or a little encouragement, we take pride in giving kids the confidence to achieve their best smiles.

Are Clear Aligners Right for Your Child?

While clear aligners can work well for many children, they aren’t the ideal solution for every case. Severe orthodontic issues or very young children may still benefit more from traditional braces. That’s why Laster Orthodontics evaluates each patient thoroughly to determine the best treatment plan. Our experience treating kids at different stages of orthodontic needs allows us to make expert recommendations that align with your child’s unique smile goals.

If your child needs orthodontic treatment and you’re looking for discreet orthodontics for kids, Laster Orthodontics is here to help. Our clear aligners provide a modern, comfortable, and effective alternative to traditional braces, making it easier than ever for kids to achieve beautiful, healthy smiles without the hassle.

As always, I had a great experience! The staff are so kind and accommodating. I had an issue with my permanent retainer, and they were able to get me in really quickly. Akera replaced my retainer and did a fantastic job, she was super friendly and attentive. I really appreciate the level of care and service here!
Amy S.
Coming back today to add something to my review: Carina, the Practice Manager, is so incredibly patient and kind. Thank you for your help today, Carina! I appreciate you!

Today my son and I visited the Rolesville location of Laster Orthodontics. We were immediately greeted by a friendly team member. We only waited 5 minutes to be taken back for my son’s consultation. We met with Maria and she was fabulous!!! Very thorough, relatable and relaxed, yet professional. She explained every aspect of the treatment my son will receive, along with pricing information, payment plan options, etc. She was funny, too. Maria was great vibes all around. Dr. Laster popped in the room to introduce himself. He was cheerful and didn’t seem rushed or bothered by having to chat with us. My son and I can’t wait for our next visit! Thanks everyone, especially Maria! 😊

I normally don’t leave reviews, but I have to write this one. My daughter accidentally got her appointment date wrong and even took a day off work for her braces. By the time we realized it, it was too late to adjust her work schedule back. I called the office to see if there were any cancellations, and Shatyonia told me there had been a couple earlier, but they filled up quickly. I asked if she could call me back if anything else opened up that day, and she kindly agreed.

Sure enough, around 12 she called me back and asked if we could come in by 1 o’clock. Of course, I said yes! I am so thankful to her because she truly didn’t have to go out of her way for me and my daughter. Thanks to her, my daughter didn’t waste a day off work.

Also, I want to recognize Cynthia, who had excellent customer service when I came in looking for Shatyonia. These are two wonderful ladies running the front desk, and they really made our experience so much better.

I wish we could give Laster Orthodontics higher than a 5-star review, because they are simply amazing! From the first contact I made with them by text, to the friendly staff at the front desk that greeted us when we walked in, to the amazing Treatment Coordinator that helped us, Maria Lopez, to the orthodontist himself: every individual was friendly, helpful and professional in every instance. THANK YOU Laster Orthodontics for an incredibly great experience! 🩷🙏
