Braces in Los Angeles

Orthodontists in Los Angeles California

I don’t want braces, so i heard of this thing called Invisalign Teen. But when my mom called and asked about if i was old enough for it, they said you have to be over 18. But its for teenagers? Well im 13 turning 14 soon and i think its stupid for them to call it that. So are they just lying or are they serious? And do they work? Are they better than braces?

Like the orthodontist puts your braces on, tells you you need them for a specific amount of time (example. 2 years, 1 1/2, etc.) and then tooken them off earlier?
thanks!
