Clear Aligners for Teens
Invisalign Teen is built for the way teenagers actually live. It uses the same clear, removable aligners as Invisalign, with one addition parents love: a Blue Dot Indicator on each aligner that fades once it’s been worn correctly for 20 to 22 hours a day. When the dot fades to clear, your teen is ready for the next tray. Think of it as a countdown to the day they flash you their dream smile.
Why Choose Invisalign Teen?
With Invisalign clear aligners, your teen or pre-teen can straighten their smile in a way that’s far less noticeable than traditional braces. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist by age seven, and early intervention can mean better long-term results. Parents and teens choose Invisalign Teen because it’s:
- Discreet– Hard to spot compared to metal braces
- Removable– No food restrictions, so pizza and popcorn are still on the menu
- Effective– Fewer office visits than traditional braces
- Affordable– Flexible, interest-free financing that fits your family’s budget
- Comfortable– No brackets, wires, or rubber bands to poke or pinch
Whether your teen or pre-teen plays a musical instrument or participates in sports, Invisalign Teen is less likely to interfere with these activities compared to traditional braces. Invisalign clear aligners are made from medical-grade, BPA-free plastic and have been widely used in orthodontic treatment for years. Give your child a gift that will last a lifetime!

Taking Care of Your Clear Aligners
Taking care of your Invisalign clear aligners is important to keep them clean, hygienic, and effective in straightening your teeth. Here are some tips to help you take care of your Invisalign clear aligners:
- Clean your aligners daily: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap to clean your aligners daily. Gently brush them inside and out, rinse them with warm water, and dry them with a soft, clean cloth.
- Avoid drinking or eating with your aligners in: Eating and drinking while wearing your aligners can cause them to stain or become damaged. Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water.
- Store your aligners properly: When you’re not wearing your aligners, store them in their case to keep them clean and prevent them from getting lost or damaged.
- Don’t use hot water to clean your aligners: Hot water can warp or damage your aligners, so always use lukewarm water to clean them.
- Follow your orthodontist’s instructions: Your orthodontist will provide you with specific instructions on how to care for your aligners. Follow their instructions carefully to ensure the best possible results from your treatment.
By following these simple tips, you can keep your Invisalign clear aligners clean, hygienic, and effective in straightening your teeth.
