Clear Aligners for Teenagers in Media & Wallingford
The teen years are a time of self-discovery and growing self-awareness. For many kids this age, aesthetics and lifestyle are paramount when considering orthodontic treatment. That's where Invisalign Teen comes in.
Invisalign Teen's lightweight, clear aligners feature the same barely-there aesthetic as standard Invisalign. For teens with concerns about the appearance of their smiles during treatment, this can make all the difference.
The aligners are also removable, helping teens maintain a sense of normalcy.
Brushing and flossing are simple, with no extra steps needed, and they can enjoy all their favorite foods without worry. Plus, the aligners can be removed easily for playing sports, using musical instruments, or even for picture day at school. What truly makes Invisalign Teen special is the thoughtful features designed specifically with teenagers in mind

Invisalign corrects misaligned teeth by exerting gentle, steady pressure over time.
The treatment involves a series of custom-made clear aligners. Each aligner serves a specific purpose and is then replaced by the next in the series until the final results are achieved.
How is Invisalign Teen Different?
Eruption Tabs
Your teen's adult teeth might still be coming in. Invisalign Teen aligners include eruption tabs to provide space for these teeth to fully develop.
Compliance Indicators
Invisalign Teen aligners have small blue dots that disappear after two weeks. These markers assist your teen in monitoring how long to wear each aligner before switching to the next one in the series.
6 Sets of Replacement Aligners
Aligners may still get lost or damaged despite careful handling. Invisalign Teen provides six replacement aligners to minimize treatment delays caused by lost or broken aligners.
