Invisible Braces Mean More Confidence
Aligners for Invisalign™ Teen are made of a clear, smooth plastic material that’s nearly invisible. That means your teenager’s friends probably won’t even realize your child is wearing braces! Instead of having to hide behind a face full of metal, your teenager will be able to enjoy the confidence of smiling without hesitation, making for a better overall social life and quality of life in one of their most difficult times.

Removable Aligners
Mean More Action
If your teenager is involved in extracurricular activities like marching band or sports (football, basketball, track, soccer, etc), braces might get in the way of their ability to play comfortably and safely. This is not the case with Invisalign(™) Teen.
Since Invisalign™ Teen is a series of removable plastic retainers, your teenager can take them out when they need to engage in their favorite activity. With this treatment, your child need not fear getting hit in the mouth with a ball or busting their lip trying to hit that high C on the trombone. Invisalign™ Teen allows them to play their hearts out, then put their retainer back in when the game’s over!
Take Them Out And
Eat Freely
The school lunchroom essentially determines pecking order in high school — who you eat with and how you feel while eating means the world to your teenage student. That’s why it’s important for your teenager to feel confident when they eat. Thanks to Invisalign™ Teen, your child can now remove their retainer and eat freely, without discomfort, pain, or the need to avoid certain foods.
Unlike with braces, Invisalign™ Teen does not come with dietary restrictions. Plus, your child’s aligners don’t cause discomfort while talking, so they can keep on socializing even after lunch is over. This also means brushing and flossing is easier, too. So after meals proper oral hygiene is a snap! Try that with braces.
