Orthodontic Care That Supports Teen Confidence

Invisalign for teens uses a series of clear aligners crafted from smooth medical-grade plastic. Each aligner gently shifts teeth toward their ideal alignment, and the trays are virtually invisible, so your teen can smile freely in photos, presentations and everyday life.

With no wires or brackets, there is none of the poking or irritation that comes with traditional braces. Aligners are worn about 20 to 22 hours per day and removed for meals and brushing.

Made for School, Sports and Snacks

Because aligners come out at mealtimes, your teen keeps eating the foods they love. Brushing and flossing stay simple with no brackets to clean around, and with fewer adjustment visits than braces, there is more time for school, sports and friends.

Invisalign for teens is ideal for mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite alignment, and for teens committed to wearing their aligners consistently. At your free consultation we will confirm whether Invisalign is the right fit or whether clear or metal braces would serve your teen better.

Common Questions About Invisalign for Teens

How many hours a day does my teen wear the aligners?

About 20 to 22 hours daily. They come out only for eating, brushing and flossing, so consistency is the main habit to build.

Can my teen still eat their favorite foods?

Yes. Aligners are removed before eating, so there are no food restrictions like there are with braces. Crunchy snacks stay on the menu.

Is Invisalign harder to keep clean than braces?

It is easier. Because the trays are removable, brushing and flossing stay exactly the same as before treatment, with no special tools or workarounds.

How often are appointments?

Check-in visits typically happen every 6 to 8 weeks to review progress and pick up the next aligners, which means fewer interruptions to school and activities than traditional braces.

Is my teen a good candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign works best for mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite alignment, and for teens who will wear their aligners consistently. The free consultation gives you a definitive answer.

How much does Invisalign for teens cost?

Your consultation is free and includes an exact quote. Interest-free payment plans start at $149/month and we accept most insurance. See our financial information page.
