Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen is a great treatment option for teenagers with mild to moderate dental crowding who want to be less obvious that they are fixing their smiles. It’s also a wonderful option for those who have to travel from farther away or with busy school schedules and extracurricular activities, as there are fewer appointments, which means less time away from school (and work for our parents).
As for all patients being treated with Invisalign, successful treatment requires amazing compliance. We ask our Invisalign patients to wear their aligners at least 22 hours a day. This means to school, bed, and when out with their friends. The Invisalign trays are only removed for meals and brushing their teeth.
Many parents are hesitant about treating their teens with Invisalign as they worry their kids won’t remember to wear their aligners. Thanks to our partnership with Align, we offer “The Invisalign Teen Guarantee” to help ease the anxiety in choosing Invisalign for your teen. This means in the first 12 months of treatment, if your teen isn’t wearing their trays as instructed, we can switch them to traditional metal braces at no additional cost.
