These innovative clear aligners eliminate the need for brackets and wires while delivering the same effective results as conventional orthodontic treatment.

Why Choose Clear Aligners for Your Teen?

Discreet Treatment That Won’t Cramp Their Style Clear aligners are nearly invisible when worn, so your teen can smile confidently throughout treatment without feeling self-conscious about their appearance. The custom-fitted aligners apply gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into their ideal positions.

Freedom to Eat What They Love Unlike traditional braces that come with a long list of forbidden foods, Invisalign has zero dietary restrictions. Your teen simply removes the aligners before meals and snacks, then brushes and flosses before putting them back in. This simple routine prevents bacteria and food particles from getting trapped against the aligners. For optimal clarity, we recommend drinking only water while wearing aligners, as beverages like juice, tea, and coffee can cause staining.

Perfect for Active Lifestyles Whether your teen plays in the school band or participates in contact sports like wrestling or football, Invisalign makes it easy to continue their favorite activities. Aligners can be safely removed for band practice or sporting events where mouthguards are required—just remember to put them back in afterward to stay on track with treatment.

The Invisalign Treatment Process

It Starts with a Free Consultation Your teen’s Invisalign journey begins with a complimentary consultation where we use our advanced iTero digital scanner to create precise 3D images of their teeth. This cutting-edge technology eliminates the need for messy traditional impressions while providing incredibly accurate treatment planning.

Custom-Made Just for Your Teen: Once we have the digital scan, each set of aligners is crafted using Invisalign’s innovative SmartTrack thermoplastic material. Dr. Jang and Dr. Wong have personally designed every treatment plan to address your teen’s specific orthodontic needs, ensuring optimal results.

Built-In Compliance Tracking: We understand that remembering to wear aligners consistently can be challenging for busy teens. That’s why Invisalign for teens includes special compliance indicators that fade when aligners are worn properly. If the indicators remain visible, it’s a gentle reminder that your teen needs to be more consistent with wearing their aligners.

Treatment That Fits Their Schedule: For best results, aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day, only being removed for eating, drinking (anything other than water), and oral hygiene. Your teen will progress through their series of aligners, typically switching to a new set every two weeks.

Treatment duration varies based on each individual case, typically ranging from 12 to 24 months. More complex cases may require additional time, but our doctors will provide a clear timeline during your initial consultation.
