A Straighter Smile That Fits Teen Life
Middle school and high school are already busy. Between classes, sports, music, activities, friends, and special events, orthodontic treatment should work with a teen’s routine—not take it over.
Invisalign Teen® uses a customized series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional metal brackets and wires. Teens can remove their aligners for meals, brushing, flossing, and certain activities while continuing to smile with confidence.

Common Questions
What Teens and Parents Ask
Can my teen play sports?
Yes. Aligners can be removed as directed when a protective mouthguard is needed.
Can they eat normally?
Aligners are removed for meals, so there are no bracket-related food restrictions.
What if an aligner is lost?
Contact our office promptly. We will explain whether to use a previous or next aligner while we determine the best step.
How long will treatment take?
Every case is different. We provide an individualized estimate after the consultation and digital scan.
