ProviderAchieve a Straighter, More Confident Smile with Clear Aligners
The teen years can be chaotic, and for many kids this age, esthetics and lifestyle are top of mind, even when making orthodontic decisions. This is where Invisalign Teen comes in.
These clear aligners feature the same lightweight clear design that regular Invisalign has, but with a few special features, such as eruption tabs specifically designed to meet the needs of teens.
Additionally, they fit right into their regular routines. Brushing and flossing are a breeze because your teen can take their clear aligners out to do it! They have to remove their aligners to eat, so there are no diet restrictions associated with treatment. If they're an athlete or play an instrument, the aligners can come out for these activities as well.
If your teen is worried about how they will look while undergoing orthodontic treatment, Invisalign Teen might be the perfect option.
Orthodontic Treatment During the Teen Years
Orthodontic treatment between the ages of 12 and 18 is designed to guide the healthy development of teens' smiles. We offer clear aligners and braces at Leone & Vaughn Orthodontics.

Invisalign Teen for Developing Smiles
Invisalign for teens straightens teeth just like adult Invisalign does - by applying a gentle, consistent pressure to the teeth over a period of time.
Treatment consists of a series of clear aligners custom-made to fit your teen's mouth. Eruption tabs have been built into Invisalign Teen aligners to give adult teeth the room they need to finish developing.
Each aligner in the series is designed to apply pressure in different areas of the mouth to shift the teeth into the desired positions.
They will continue wearing their aligners, switching them out for the next set in the series as instructed by their orthodontist, until treatment is complete.
