ProviderYour Clear Choice for Straightening Teen Smiles
The teenage years are a time of self-discovery and increasing self-awareness.
Invisalign Teen features the same clear esthetics as standard Invisalign. For teens whose correction is suitable for the product, you can be assured that Dr. Diane will discuss this option with you.
The aligners are also removable, helping teens maintain a sense of normalcy.
Brushing and flossing continue as before, and they can continue to eat all their favorite foods without restriction, too.
Orthodontic Treatment During the Teen Years
Orthodontic treatment between the ages of 12 and 18 is designed to guide oral development, optimizing the positioning of teeth and jaws to create healthy, beautiful smiles. Invisalign may be part of your teen's orthodontic treatment at All Star Smiles Orthodontics.

Treatment comes in the form of a series of custom-made clear aligners. Each aligner plays its specific role and is then switched out for the next one, until the desired results are achieved.
How is Invisalign Teen Different?
Eruption Tabs
Your teen's permanent teeth may still be erupting. Eruption tabs have been built into Invisalign Teen aligners to give adult teeth the room they need to finish developing.
Compliance Indicators
Invisalign Teen aligners feature small blue dots that fade gradually over a two week period. These indicators help track wear time, which is the single most important determinant in successful tooth movement in aligners.
6 Sets of Replacement Aligners
Even with the most meticulous care, aligners can get lost or damaged. Invisalign Teen comes with six sets of replacement aligners to help reduce the risk of treatment delays from lost or broken aligners.
