Invisalign for Teens

Understanding Teen Needs

Teenagers have unique orthodontic requirements and lifestyles. Invisalign Teen is specifically designed to address these needs.

Compliance Indicators

• Blue Dot Indicators: Small blue dots on the aligners fade over time with wear, helping both teens and parents track usage and ensure compliance.

Accommodating Growth

• Eruption Tabs: Invisalign Teen aligners allow for the eruption of second molars, accommodating natural growth and preventing treatment delays.

Lost Aligners

• Replacement Aligners: Recognizing that teens may occasionally misplace aligners, Invisalign Teen includes up to six free replacement aligners.

Benefits for Teens

• Confidence in School and Social Settings: Teens can straighten their teeth without feeling self-conscious.
• Active Lifestyles: Ideal for sports and band activities; no risk of injury from broken wires or brackets.
