Invisalign For Teens

Home ยป Invisalign ยป Invisalign For Teens

The Clear Alternative to Braces

Now teens don’t have to worry about embarrassing metal braces in their yearbook photos or Facebook profiles with Invisalign Teen! Invisalign Teen is the clear way to straighten teeth without metal braces, using aligners. Aligners are virtually invisible and removable, which means you can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing, and you can still eat and drink what you want. Also, you can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth, and there are no wires, metal, or brackets to cause mouth abrasions.

We went to leading orthodontists, parents, and teens themselves to custom-design an Invisalign system just right for the dental needs of teenagers. With blue-to-clear color-changing indicators to show how long each aligner has been worn, six free replacement aligners in case some are lost or broken, and other changes designed to accommodate growing mouths, Invisalign Teen is the perfect teeth-straightening system for today’s teens’ busy lifestyles!

What is Invisalign Teen?

  • The invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces
  • Series of clear, removable, custom-made aligners
  • Uses no metal wires or brackets
  • Custom-made for comfort

What Issues Can Be Corrected?

By using its advanced technology, Invisalign Teen can treat a broad range of dental and orthodontic conditions, which, in the past, were usually treated with traditional braces. These conditions include:

  • Overly crowded teeth
  • Widely spaced teeth
  • Crossbite
  • Overbite
  • Underbite

How Does Invisalign Teen Work?

  • Wear each set of aligners for about two weeks
  • Remove only to eat, drink, brush and floss
  • Your teeth will move gradually each week
  • Visit us every 8-10 weeks
  • Total treatment time averages 6-15 months
  • An average number of aligners is between 18 and 30

Michele S.
My son had a great experience getting his braces on! Or should I say it was seamless. Everyone was friendly and easy to work with.
Tiffany
I really like VanLaecken Orthodontics in Watertown! Everyone we came in contact with that works there had a smile and seemed genuinely happy. Once the doctor came in, he was quick and thorough while being friendly and hospitable at the same time. He even heard a question I had forgotten to ask him right after I shut the door so he calmly came back in and answered my question without making my child and I feel like we were a bother to him. Definitely somewhere I would recommend anyone! Great hospitality all the way around!
Brandi S.
Fantastic staff! Always welcoming! I'm now on my second child getting braces, and it's been a great experience!
Kayla M.
Vanlaecken Orthodontics has been a great experience for myself and our kids. Everyone is so kind and explains things thoroughly. I have recommended them to many friends looking for orthodontic care. We have seen Dr. Rob and Dr. Ryan and they are very personable and have great “bedside” manner. We appreciate their quality care for our kids.
Sarah S.
My child was very comfortable with the professional and friendly people. Beautiful office. I would definitely recommend this place.
Leisha M.
Always very friendly and knowledgeable. We travel from Sioux Falls and it’s always been worth it as they treat us very well!!
Sarah V.
Our son had a very complex mouth- he spent nearly 3 years in braces, but the care he received at VanLaecken Orthodontics was incredible. From the facilities to the front desk, assistants, and doctors, we could have not asked for better care.
Emily S.
Great experience. Highly recommend VanLaecken for orthodontic needs. My daughter began her journey on March 13, 2024. She got her braces off on June 10, 2026. An amazing transformation!! Thank you so much to everyone at VanLaecken!!

  • Why Teens Prefer Invisalign

Why Choose Invisalign Teen?

There are many reasons why teens and their parents choose Invisalign Teen over traditional braces. One of the main advantages is that the aligners are virtually invisible, allowing teenagers to straighten their teeth without feeling self-conscious. In addition, the aligners are removable, making it easier for teens to eat, drink, brush, and floss without any restrictions.

Another benefit of Invisalign Teen is the ability to track progress with the blue-to-clear color-changing indicators on the aligners. This feature helps both teens and orthodontists monitor treatment and ensure that the aligners are being worn for the recommended amount of time each day.

What to Expect During Invisalign Teen Treatment

During your Invisalign Teen treatment, you can expect to wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. It is important to remove the aligners only when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing to ensure optimal results. Regular visits to your orthodontist every 8-10 weeks will also be scheduled to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Overall, the average treatment time for Invisalign Teen ranges from 6-15 months, with an average of 18-30 aligners used throughout the course of treatment. With the custom-made aligners, comfort and convenience are key factors in helping teenagers achieve a straighter smile without the hassle of traditional braces.
