Anyone Have Experiences with Orthodonture?

I feel like this is probably a long shot, but I have to ask.

My 11 year old needs braces, and we were given the choice to use either traditional metal or ceramic braces, or Invisalign.

Because she also gets mucoceles on her inner lower lip from agitation, which require surgery to remove, we were initially thinking of going with the Invisalign because they are smooth.

But then my husband and I started wondering about what Invisalign is made of and whether or not they are toxic. A quick Google search didn't give me much other than a fair number of folks who complained of illness coinciding with their beginning use of Invisalign.

Because she has congenital Lyme, Bartonella and Babesia, I'm concerned about something she'll have in her mouth almost 24/7 for 18 months might not be the best thing. I've posed the question to my LLND, but also wondered if anyone here had gone through this and had some wisdom to share, either on Invisalign and / or traditional braces and the materials they consist of.

Thanks!

We are going through this right now! Have you heard of myobraces? Our holistic dentist just brought it up for my middle daughter. I'm somewhat skeptical. Insurance does cover part of it. We are either doing that or invisalign.

My son has traditional braces. Before braces he also had a mucocele surgically removed. We had no other choice for him because his canine teeth were not coming in properly and he had to have a chain attached to the metal in order to pull one through. He doesn't seem to have any issues with the metal and I haven't tested his metals (via hair) since having braces. I may do that just for my own curiosity.

My youngest is also having issues with canine teeth coming in so we will have traditional braces for her as well.

My kids test positive (my son was borderline) for Lyme via armin labs but have no symptoms at the moment.

My daughter does test positive and also had a positive ELISA. I am actually seeing a new chiro tomorrow that does some craniosacral work so I will look into that for her. She is going through puberty as well (just turned 13). I have been on the lookout for symptoms. She complains a lot about her neck but noticed when she stays off her iphone/ipad it is better. I had worried it was a lyme symptoms but appears to be text neck or something of the sort. Go figure. But I still plan on seeing a holistic type chiro for her.

I'm not sure if I want to spend so much on myobraces and then have it not work! Our dentist showed me some pictures of before and after and it was amazing. But my instinct is still telling me to be wary. I'm leaning towards invisalign.
