The number of teenagers playing sports seems to increase every year.

Whether your teens play basketball, football, hockey or any other sport, you love cheering them on from the sidelines. Teen athletes often worry that wearing braces and other oral appliances will keep them from performing their best and may increase their risks of suffering from some common mouth-related injuries. If your teen feels the same way, introduce him or her to some of the different types of braces and talk with your teen about David Beckham.

David Beckham Wore Braces?

David Beckham was already a superstar in his native England, but when he married a former Spice Girl named Victoria Beckham, he obtained a new level of fame. While Victoria launched her own clothing line, Beckham continued playing soccer. The two later moved to the United States when he signed a deal to play soccer in Los Angeles. The professional athlete now has his own clothing line, several colognes and millions of dollars in the bank. In 2012, he also appeared in public with a new set of braces on his teeth. Seeing Beckham sporting one of the different types of braces might convince your teen to follow in his footsteps.

Is There an Alternative to Braces?

When you come in and talk with us about improving your own smile or helping your teen, we can go over the alternatives with you. Invisalign is the top alternative to braces. It features a clear device that fits over the teeth and works in the same way that braces do. In addition to Invisalign, we also offer Invisalign Teen, which is a special appliance designed to fit the growing teeth and mouths of teens. Your superstar athletes can even wear the appliances during games and at high school dances.
