Why Use Invisalign Clear Aligners Over Traditional Braces For Teens?

Invisalign clear aligners straighten teens’ teeth without interrupting their daily activities.

There’s no fear of brackets and wires, and no breaking or popping.

Invisalign clear aligners are removable, so teen patients can continue to eat normally and demonstrate better compliance with oral hygiene.

Teens also present less plaque and gingival inflammatory reactions than their peers with fixed braces.

More Comfort
At your initial consultation, we can first help you visualise with the iTero scanning tool, showing 3D digital images of your child's teeth. Then, we will use ClinCheck software to map the route to your child's smile from the very start. Your child can go from just imagining their straighter teeth to seeing them.

Expert Help At Every Step
Your child's custom-made aligners will be delivered to us for their first fitting. They will then receive a series of aligners to wear daily and change at home approximately every 1-2 weeks. You and your child will be able to monitor their progress with specialist care via the Dental Monitoring App. Your child will also continue to receive personalised care with visits to us every 6-8 weeks, to check on progress and receive new aligners.

Your child's smile will be transformed, and now it's easier than ever to maintain. Unlike most other devices, Vivera retainers are trimmed based on each patient's gum line to provide optimal comfort and aesthetics.

Invisalign Is Their Life, Uninterrupted

Treatment on their terms
With Invisalign treatment, emergency visits are almost 80% less frequent than with traditional brackets and wires. It’s ideal for parents and teens with busy lives.

Less time in treatment
Invisalign clear aligners straighten teeth faster than braces, so your child can spend less time in treatment and more time loving their smile.

Eat with freedom
Invisalign clear aligners are completely removable, so there's no need for your child to skip their favourite foods. They can easily maintain good oral hygiene by cleaning their teeth as normal. Concerns that your child might lose their aligners? Do not worry. If that's the case, the doctor will make sure to send a new set of aligners.

Fitting their lifestyle
Invisalign clear aligners are clear and more comfortable, so your child can keep doing the things they love while straightening their teeth, such as playing sports or a musical instrument. Highly discreet, it’s easy to wear them for the recommended 22 hours a day.

Smile with confidence
Invisalign clear aligners are nearly invisible. People may not even notice your child is straightening their teeth, so they can smile with confidence throughout their Invisalign journey.

Effective Even For Complex Issues

The Invisalign mandibular advancement feature corrects overbites in children while straightening their teeth. Precision wings gradually move the lower jaw using the right amount of power to improve the bite and the appearance of the chin.

Powerful Yet Gentle

Invisalign clear aligners apply the right force in the right direction, thanks to SmartForce attachments. They are small, tooth-coloured shapes that can be attached to your child's teeth, depending on their case, before or during their treatment. They're like tiny handles and give our aligners something to gently push on.

Invisalign Teens Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, it is not too old for Invisalign. Invisalign is suitable for both teens and adults of all ages - making it an ideal orthodontic solution for people at any stage of life.

    The clear aligners are designed to be invisible and comfortable, meaning you can continue your daily routine without interruptions.

  • In the UK, NHS orthodontic treatment is mainly for under-18s, based on clinical, not cosmetic, needs. NHS does not cover Invisalign, which is typically a private treatment option.

    Consultation with an Invisalign-trained specialist is recommended to discuss suitable options and available financial assistance.

  • The Invisalign Teen system is designed to help teenagers achieve straight teeth without uncomfortable metal braces. It is an innovative system that uses a series of clear plastic aligners to move the teeth into the desired position gradually.

    The aligners are removable, so teenagers can eat, brush and floss normally, making them an ideal choice for busy teens. Plus, Invisalign Teen provides built-in features that help keep teenagers on track with their treatment plan.

  • The best age to get Invisalign depends on the individual. Generally speaking, most teenage patients are eligible for Invisalign treatment when they have permanent teeth that have erupted and are suitable for aligner therapy.

    Patients of any age can benefit from Invisalign, so be sure to consult with your orthodontist to determine if you're a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.

  • Losing an aligner is not a problem! Invisalign provides replacement aligners at no extra cost so that your teenager can always keep their treatment plan on track.

    If a few days go by without the lost aligner, contact your local Invisalign provider as soon as possible to get back on track with your treatment plan.

  • The average time frame for teens to wear Invisalign aligners is typically between 6 and 18 months, depending on the severity of the misalignment.

    Teen patients typically change their aligners every two weeks, and they should attend regularly scheduled check-ups with their orthodontist to ensure progress is being made.

  • Invisalign works differently than braces and whether it is better for you depends on your individual case.

    While traditional braces are more effective for certain more complex cases, Invisalign provides a less noticeable solution with fewer office visits due to the clear aligners that fit over the teeth.

    Additionally, with Invisalign there is no pain or discomfort associated with the adjustments while they might be present in traditional braces.

  • The cost of Invisalign Teen depends on the severity of the patient's misalignment, as well as the amount of aligners needed to complete treatment. Generally speaking, Invisalign Teen costs between £3,500 and £5,500.

    However, you can book a free consultation to receive a more accurate estimate tailored to your individual needs.

  • Invisalign for teens offers many of the same benefits as Invisalign for adults. The main difference is that Invisalign Teen aligners are designed to allow room for growth and accommodate changes in the teen's mouth.

    With tooth-coloured attachments and compliance indicators, you can be sure your teen is wearing the aligners as recommended by their doctor.

  • Each Invisalign treatment plan is tailored to the individual, so it's difficult to give an exact time frame as each case may differ.

    However, on average, Invisalign treatments usually take between 6 and 18 months.

    Our team of certified orthodontists are committed to providing you with the best possible treatment plan with the goal of giving you a beautiful smile in the shortest amount of time.

  • With Invisalign, you can easily monitor your teenager’s progress with the Invisalign Treatment Tracker app. The app gives you and your teen access to detailed views of their teeth's progress and shows how much time they've been wearing their aligners. You can also set reminders for them to wear the aligners so they don't forget!
