How it works
Planning
Treatment starts with a digital scan of your teen’s teeth. Using this advanced imaging technology, we create a precise 3D model of your teen’s teeth, allowing us to design a detailed, step-by-step treatment plan. This plan maps each movement their teeth will go through, giving both teens and parents a clear understanding of the journey ahead.
Aligners
You move to each new set of aligners on the schedule your orthodontist sets. The aligners are designed to apply consistent, gentle pressure that gradually shifts teeth into place, minimizing discomfort.
Check-ups
Your orthodontist sets how often you come in. During these visits, your orthodontist will assess progress and make any necessary adjustments, making sure the treatment is progressing smoothly.
Blue Dot indicator
Invisalign Teen includes a helpful Blue Dot indicator on each aligner, which fades over time to show whether the aligners have been worn for the recommended hours each day. This feature makes it easy for teens (and parents) to keep track of their progress.
Eruption tabs
For teens who still have teeth coming in, Invisalign Teen aligners include eruption tabs. These tabs allow new teeth to come in naturally.
Cost
The cost of Invisalign Teen varies depending on:
- Treatment complexity: More complex alignment issues may require additional aligners or extended treatment time.
- Treatment duration: Longer treatments can increase overall costs.
After an initial consultation and assessment, we’ll provide a personalized quote based on your teen’s unique treatment plan.
