The teenage years are the ideal time to straighten your smile, but they are also incredibly busy. That’s why our teen patients love Invisalign^® treatment - not only is it discreet; it allows them to fit treatment easily into their schedule.

What is Invisalign^® for teens?

Invisalign^® for teens is the same as Invisalign^® for adults, with one difference. Teen aligners come with special blue wear indicators that help teens remember to wear their aligners for the recommended 22 hours a day.

Invisalign^® aligners are custom made to suit your teen’s smile, and the clear plastic material makes them virtually invisible when worn. Best of all, aligners are removable, so treatment won’t get in the way of meals, oral hygiene, or after school activities.

How does Invisalign^® for teens work?

When your teen comes in for their free assessment, Dr. Junyi will use our cutting-edge 3D scanner to create a digital model of their smile. This model will help her plan their treatment from start to finish, and to design a series of custom aligners for them.

Each set of aligners is shaped a bit differently, so when Dr. Junyi instructs your teen to switch to a new set every couple weeks, the treatment will slowly guide their teeth into proper alignment.

What are the benefits of using Invisalign^® for teens?

There are many benefits to using Invisalign® for teens, including:

Discretion: Because Invisalign^® aligners are made from clear medical-grade plastic, no one needs to know about their treatment.
Removability: Teens won’t have to adjust their diet or routine during treatment - and they can even leave aligners in for sports and musical instrument practice.
Added comfort: With smooth plastic and a custom fit, Invisalign® aligners won’t irritate your teen’s cheeks and gums.
Fewer appointments: Since teens can change aligners from the comfort of home, Invisalign^® treatment requires very few face-to-face appointments.
Exacting results: Invisalign^® treatment is custom made for your teen’s smile goals, and fine tuned with computer technology - so we know exactly what outcome to expect.
