What advantages can Invisalign offer over a conventional interceptive orthodontic appliance?

With Invisalign, there is no problem, because we can order new aligners that will adjust perfectly to our child’s mouth. On the other hand, they are also prepared to have eruption compensators that anticipate the size of the tooth and allow us to make a gap as the tooth erupts, which is much more complicated with an Interceptive Orthodontic appliance.
What if a device is lost?
Another advantage is that many parents ask us what happens if you lose the device? With Invisalign Invisalign orthodontics the problem is less, because the aligners will be changed every week or approximately every ten days, so if you lose it, you can put the next aligner. With an Interceptive Orthodontic appliance, we are in a bigger problem because we only have one appliance, so we would have to order a new appliance.
