Invisalign Teen Treatment Process

Smooth, effective, & tailored to your teen!

Free Initial Consultation

Dr. Ross will evaluate if Invisalign Teen is the right fit for you and create a personalized treatment plan. Our team will answer all your questions about the process, timeline, and cost.

Digital Scanning & Customization

We’ll capture a 3D image of your teeth using a digital scanner—no messy impressions! Your custom aligners will be designed to gently shift your teeth into place.

Aligner Progression

You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks to keep your smile moving. We’ll check in with you every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress. Compliance indicators (blue dots) help track wear time, so you stay on schedule.

Who is a Good Candidate for Invisalign Teen?

Invisalign Teen is best suited for teenagers with all permanent teeth erupted – NOT for children.

If your teen’s molars are still developing, eruption tabs will help guide them into place.

It’s also important to determine the type of orthodontic treatment you need- Invisalign works best for mild to moderate crowding, gaps, and bite issues.

Teens must also commit to wearing aligners for 20-22 hours per day.
Aligners should only be removed for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing.
