Discover your optionsWhat is Invisalign® for teens?
Invisalign® treatment for teens is nearly the same as Invisalign® for adults, with a few added features to help teens get the most out of their treatment. Teen aligners come with blue compliance indicators to help you remember to wear your aligners for the recommended 22 hours a day.
Invisalign® clear aligners for teens also come with eruption tabs, or spaces, that allow for the growth of additional molars. The aligners are removable, so your teen can take them out for meals, brushing and flossing, and important social events as needed.

How does Invisalign® treatment for teens work?
With our cutting-edge 3D scanning technology we will make a virtual model of your unique smile. This model will then be used to create a personalised treatment plan to take you from start to finish.
You will be given a series of custom aligners, each shaped a bit differently with the goal of gently shifting your teeth into alignment. We will advise you to switch to a new set of aligners every few weeks, which you can do from the comfort of your home!
