From the children's orthodontic clinic in Valencia of Dr. Consuelo Badía we want to show our condemnation of bullying or school bullying. Unfortunately, we have to listen to many stories of children who come to our centre explaining to us that they are laughed at at school because of their teeth, and we have discovered that using Invisalign helps in these cases.
When faced with a case of bullying, the first thing to do is always to listen to the child, warn the parents and consult with the teachers. Direct confrontation with the bully is never a good option. A girl came to our clinic who was being bullied because of her teeth.. He suffered from a displacement of the teeth that made them more visible than normal.
When he came to our centre specialising in children's orthodontics in Valencia, we considered different options, both the use of the Damon system (braces) and Invisalign. When he found out what Invisalign was, that it was a set of interchangeable and transparent sleevesShe instantly fell in love with the idea that her smile would be corrected little by little and without braces.
Her bullying situation was solved as it should be: through adult mediators, talking a lot with her and trying to prevent it from happening again. However, the self-esteem of someone who has been bullied is always damaged and needs time to recover. In the case of young children it is noticeable in that they find it difficult to smile if the object of the bullying was a malocclusion. Invisalign was perfect for this.
Invisalign helps children who have been bullied for their teeth regain self-esteem
She was very happy about it and has followed the treatment with pride. Her classmates have approached her to ask her what she was wearing, with interest. In the continuous check-ups we have been having with her, we have seen her getting happier and happier, totally losing the fear of smiling to which the bullying had subjected her.
This is not an isolated case, we know of many more such children who manage to regain their self-esteem and their desire to smile thanks to transparent orthodontics. At Ziving Badia we are experts in these cases. If you live in Valencia, visit us.
