Invisalign® for teens & kids
Adults aren’t the only ones who can benefit from Invisalign® treatment. In fact, Align Technology has two different treatments made specifically for teens and children.
How does Invisalign® for teens work?
Invisalign® treatment for teens works the same way as Invisalign® for adults – with one difference. Teen aligners are made with blue wear indicators to help teens remember to wear their aligners for the recommended 22 hours a day.
Invisalign® treatment is great for teens because the custom aligners are removable. This means teens don’t need to change their diet, oral hygiene routine or after-school schedule during treatment.
Invisalign® First for small smiles
There is an Invisalign® treatment called Invisalign® First that is made especially for children ages 7-10. The aligners are specially made to guide proper jaw growth and make room for all the incoming teeth. This early interception can reduce the need for treatment in their teen years.
Benefits of Invisalign® treatment
for teens & kids
Children love Invisalign® treatment because it is:
- Virtually invisible: Your child can smile the whole way through treatment without worrying about people noticing they are straightening their teeth.
- Removable: Your child can take their aligners out for meals, important events and brushing and flossing.
- Comfortable: The smooth, custom aligners won’t irritate your child’s cheeks and gums.
- Convenient: We can pair your child’s treatment with the Dental Monitoring app for remote treatment check-ins from the comfort of home.
