Invisalign® Teen
We know that teenagers have busy, active lives filled with school, sports, band practice, and social events. Invisalign Teen provides all the clinical benefits of standard Invisalign, but with specialized features designed specifically to meet the unique needs of younger patients. It's the perfect way for your teen to achieve a confident smile without the self-consciousness often associated with metal braces.
Built-In Compliance Features
Keeping Treatment on Track
One of the biggest concerns parents have about removable aligners is whether their teen will actually wear them. Invisalign Teen solves this problem with built-in blue compliance indicators. These small blue dots on the aligners gradually fade to clear as the aligners are worn. This provides a simple, visual way for both parents and Dr. Lisa to ensure the aligners are being worn for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day.
Freedom to Be a Teen
3 Reasons Teens Love Invisalign
With Invisalign Teen, your child doesn't have to give up the things they love.
01
Eat Anything
Because the aligners are removable, teens can still enjoy popcorn, apples, and sticky foods without worrying about breaking a bracket.
02
Play Hard
Aligners can be removed during sports so teens can wear a standard, protective athletic mouthguard.
03
Play Music
Wind and brass instrument players won't have to struggle with the interference of metal brackets on their lips.
The "Oops" Factor
Free Replacement Aligners Included
Accidents happen, especially with busy teenagers. Whether an aligner gets accidentally thrown away in the school cafeteria or left behind at a friend's house, there's no need to panic. The Invisalign Teen system includes up to six free replacement aligners, giving parents peace of mind and ensuring treatment stays on schedule.

We can answer all your questions, just call and ask!
What happens if my teenager loses an aligner?
No need to panic! The Invisalign Teen system includes up to six free replacement aligners for exactly this reason. Simply contact our office right away and we will advise you on next steps.
How will I know if my teen is wearing their aligners enough?
Invisalign Teen aligners feature built-in blue compliance indicators that fade from blue to clear with wear. This provides a simple, at-a-glance check for both parents and Dr. Lisa to confirm the aligners are being worn for the recommended 20-22 hours per day.
Can my teen still play sports or a musical instrument with Invisalign?
Yes! One of the key advantages of Invisalign Teen is that the aligners can be removed before practice or games, allowing your teen to wear a standard protective athletic mouthguard. Musicians may need a brief adjustment period but can continue playing normally.
