Is Invisalign for Teens as effective as braces?
Yes, for mild to moderate issues. Invisalign offers predictable results with proper wear, just like braces, and is ideal for teens who prefer a discreet option.
-
Will my teen need to wear the aligners all the time?
Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours a day and only removed for meals and brushing. The blue dot indicators help both teens and parents track usage.
-
What happens if an aligner is lost or damaged?
Invisalign for Teens includes extra replacement aligners to ensure treatment continues smoothly even if one is misplaced.
-
Does Invisalign affect speech or eating?
Speech may be slightly affected for a day or two but returns to normal quickly. Teens should remove aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water.
-
Can my teen play sports or instruments with Invisalign?
Absolutely. Aligners can be removed temporarily, making them ideal for music, drama, or sports activities.
-
How long does Invisalign treatment take for teens?
Treatment usually takes 12–24 months, depending on the case. We provide an individual plan and timeline after the full consultation.
-
Are there follow-ups and support during treatment?
Yes. Teens have regular check-ins with our specialist orthodontist and treatment coordinator to ensure everything stays on track.
-
What happens after treatment is complete?
We fit three sets of custom Vivera retainers and support your teen with aftercare to help maintain results as they continue to grow.

What Is Invisalign for Teens?
Invisalign for Teens is a specially adapted version of Invisalign clear aligners, designed to suit the lifestyle, growth, and needs of younger patients. Like adult Invisalign, the system uses a series of transparent, removable aligners that gently guide teeth into the correct position. Each aligner is worn for 1–2 weeks, working incrementally to improve the smile without the need for metal braces.
What makes Invisalign for Teens different is the inclusion of features like wear indicators (small blue dots that fade when worn correctly), space for growing molars, and the option for replacement aligners. It’s ideal for active teens involved in school, sports, or social events, offering the freedom to straighten teeth without feeling self-conscious.
We offer the highest level (comprehensive package) – unable to be offered by general dentists.

Custom aligners are created using 3D imaging and updated every 1–2 weeks. Teens are seen regularly by our specialist orthodontist to monitor progress, supported with wear indicators and extra aligners for peace of mind.
