Hi, I have a 12 year old and 15 yo who are wrapping up the invisaline process and i have been wondering about something very similiar to this. i'm very uncomfortable with the idea that at the end their mouth becomes "locked" into place with a retainer. My daughter has a canine that is sitting well up into her gum line. my son just has teeth that overlap and could potentially chip because the upper does not overlap over the bottom properly. Is there a follow-up article to this that explains the process? Or is it simply a path of moving through the myobrace, etc? Thx

Hi, I see a lot of your ads talk about fixing damage done by orthodontics, teeth grinding etc. My 14-year old son (almost 15) is about to get his second round of braces and an expander (he got his 1st braces 3 years ago and has had a clear retainer afterwards). He has class III malocclusion, ie. an underbite, and crowding. I have not seen much about children using your mouthguards BEFORE orthodontic treatment is finished. If it was your son, would you skip the expander and 2nd round of braces and try a mouthguard now? If so, which one would be best in his case? Thanks
