Welcome. Chances are good that you're here because your teen is interested in getting the Invisalign Teen™ system. We know it's an important decision and one for which you'll want the right information. This section is here to give you the facts you need to have a discussion with your teen and make up your mind.
Since the Invisalign Teen system was designed especially for teens, it-like other orthodontics-offers many health benefits, both during treatment and long-term. Keep reading to learn about the reasons that make Invisalign Teen the right choice for your teen.
New Invisalign Teen straightens your teen's teeth with a series of custom-made clear aligners, rather than using traditional metal bands, brackets, and wires, which are obvious and sometimes painful. The aligners are comfortable, practically invisible, and also removable. Invisalign Teen was developed with leading orthodontists. And it works – one million patients worldwide have made Invisalign their clear choice. It's also FDA-cleared.
By using its advanced technology, the Invisalign Teen system can treat a broad range of dental and orthodontic conditions, which, in the past, were usually treated with traditional braces:
It's good to know that the Invisalign Teen system can treat all of those issues. Of course, you'll want to discuss your teen's specific orthodontic issues with a professional. Please be sure to contact a designated Invisalign Teen provider. That name indicates you're dealing with a professional who has been trained on Invisalign Teen tools and technology. To become designated, dentists and orthodontists have to demonstrate a certain level of experience working on actual teen cases. Your Invisalign Teen provider will create a customized plan to ensure your teen gets a brand-new smile.
Invisalign Teen was designed with the needs of your teen in mind. Here's why Invisalign Teen is so unique.

It's important to make sure your teen is following his or her treatment. The Blue Dot Wear Indicator provides an approximate gauge of wear. The dot is designed to fade to clear over a two-week period, if your teen wears his or her aligners properly. She or he has to wear the aligners for about 20 to 22 hours everyday, except to eat and clean his or her teeth, or to play sports or go to a special event. The fact that teens can floss and brush normally is one of the reasons why parents ask for Invisalign Teen by name. There are many other benefits that you'll want to read about too.
It works – nearly one million patients worldwide have made Invisalign their clear choice.
Invisalign Teen allows for the growth of your teen's permanent teeth (secondary molars, plus first and second bisucpids). You can be assured that new, growing teeth won't deter your teen's orthodontic treatment in any way. Moreover, your teen can start treatment even if all of his or her permanent teeth aren't in. You also don't have to worry if your teen loses an aligner. We'll give free replacements for up to six, lost, individual aligners1... just in case.
You may be one of the many adults who want a brand-new smile. Get it with nearly invisible treatment. That's right, there's Invisalign for adults, too.
They're really easy to sleep in, and you don't really have to worry about them.
