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!

Amy T.
VanLaecken Orthodontics is awesome & explains everything to you & very helpful & caring & spends time getting to know you, & appreciate you as a person & as their new patient & highly recommend VanLaecken Orthodontics
Tatiana S.
I highly recommend Dr. Rob and his amazing staff! From the very first visit, everyone has been welcoming, kind, and professional. Dr. Rob takes his time and never rushes my treatment. He always listens to my concerns, answers all of my questions, and makes sure I’m comfortable every step of the way. It’s clear that he truly cares about his patients and wants the best results. The entire team goes above and beyond to provide a great experience, and because of how well I’ve been treated, I’ll also be bringing my daughter here for her orthodontic care. I’m so glad I chose this office!
Shandalyn L.
My consultation was nothing short of great. The staff was welcoming and Dr. Nate and Jordyn were phenomenal at helping me with a care plan moving forward and that made me feel confident in the services they are going to provide and the outcome that I am moving toward.
Courtney L.
I have had 2 children with braces here. I cannot stress enough how wonderful this practice is. Reasonably priced, local, full knowledge, incentives for caring about your teeth and hardware for patients, and every single staff member is kind and sincere. My first just got out of her braces, the staff were very helpful with the very few broken brackets we had throughout the course (36 ish months maybe had 3?), and being a teenager helped her stay compliant and she now has her confidence back. The hardware was well explained and she couldnt be happier herself. My second got hers placed today. I was going to write a big review for after it was done, but then I remembered we will have 2 more coming up and I cant wait that long to express my experience. This child has aspbergers and adhd. As a mom I was nervous and the staff were very loving and it was like nothing was different at all. The staff are well versatile with all types of patients. My second, who learns slower, is already doing the rubber bands by herself hours later (although many visuals and tools were kindly given by the staff, as well as having her do it in person by herself in front of them, thank you for the extra time and patience). The initial consult, Ryan Vanlaecken, made her feel very comfortable and we had no problems at all today. Each doctor at this practice is this way. As many stars as one can possibly give goes to vanlaecken orthodontics. Highly recommend!
Wade F.
Dr Rob is absolutely great. He puts his pts at ease even if they are a bit nervous for the journey of having braces. Top notch.
MacKenzie W.
Doctors and staff are so nice and knowledgeable. They all made my daughter feel at ease and explained everything to make sure she knows what to expect with her braces. A+++!
Nina D.
I was very impressed with Vanlaecken Orthodontics. The staff was very friendly and explained everything very well.
Hope B.
Great quality care and services ! They talked thoroughly about my treatment options and even helped with payment plans. They truly care about their patients
Sander R.
I had a wonderful experience here. The team is incredibly professional and guided me through the next steps for my dental care perfectly. Can't wait to start my treatment with them
Johanna A.
The branch in Aberdeen ensures that the best orthodontic care for my teeth is given and best quality of service is served. Hygienist tried to help me decide the best treatment for my situation. Thanks VanLaeken! See yiu in August.
Alexander L.
I'm in love with this orthodontist, everyone is nice and actually take care of you! I just finished my orthodontist traitment and it was awesome! I will fully recommend you guys to come and give an opportunity to this nice place
Laura B.
Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. Made you feel comfortable every time we visited.
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!

  • 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.
