Invisalign stickables make treatment fun!

Making friends and being seen as cool are important goals for young children! And they just may be dreading the news that they’ll need orthodontic treatment. But nowadays, orthodontics is more than just braces and it can be an exciting journey for your child, especially if your family chooses Invisalign® treatment. 

Because these popular clear aligners have more to offer kids than just a comfortable and discreet teeth straightening adventure, but they have fun and unique accessories too! 

Let’s explore the world of “Invisalign Stickables” together and discover how they can make orthodontic treatment a fun and positive experience for your child.

 

First of all, what are Invisalign Stickables? 

You may be thinking, what in the world are these stickables and how do they work? Well just like their name suggests, Invisalign Stickables are stickers that your child can use to decorate their Invisalign aligners. These stickables are specially designed with non-toxic, FDA-approved materials that won’t dissolve in your kiddo’s mouth or taste funky. Unlike braces that have colors changed every 8-10 weeks, Stickables can be changed out every week or as often as desired!

Invisalign Stickables come in a wide range of colors, patterns, and designs, giving your child the freedom to rock their sticker style. Kids in treatment can choose stickables of their favorite animal, sport, gemstones, and more. There’s truly a Stickable for every smile style! Check out some popular themes here

 

What do kids love about Invisalign Stickables?

With Invisalign for adults, the magic is in the virtually invisible tooth movement that’s easy to fit into their busy adult lives. In the case of Invisalign for kids, we like to think Invisalign Stickables give them a fun and active way to participate in the magic of tooth movement. Here’s a few things kids enjoy about Invisalign Stickables for their aligners:

  • • Personalization – Your child be creative and express themselves through their Invisalign aligners; more so than they could with braces colors. By choosing from a variety of popular stickers, they’ll be able to showcase their interests and stylize throughout their treatment. If they choose to be a little discreet at any time, they can skip the stickables and just wear the clear aligners.
  • • Motivation – This is a big one! As parents, we know how hard it can be to motivate your growing child.  But Invisalign Stickables can be a source of motivation for your child in treatment! The excitement of choosing a new sticker for their aligners can give them a sense of accomplishment and reward, making their orthodontic treatment more fun and enjoyable.
  • • A major confidence boost! Going through orthodontic treatment can sometimes make children feel self-conscious. Invisalign Stickables can help boost your child’s confidence by giving them the chance to showcase their individuality through their smile.
  • • Can help break the ice! Invisalign Stickables are unique so they tend to stand out among your child’s pearly whites. This can make their friends and classmates curious about your child and helps encourage social skills.

    4. d. Rub the sticker on the aligner firmly to adhere.
