Although many of the benefits are the same, Invisalign Teen is differentiated by three new features that were designed specifically for a patient with the needs or the type of dentition commonly found in the teen age-group. Invisalign Teen’s clear aligners are virtually invisible. You can always feel confident showing your smile, even while you’re wearing your aligners to straighten your teeth. No need to feel self consious about attending prom, taking school photos, or any other day-to-day activity. Invisalign Teen aligners are custom built for you it generally works without anyone else knowing you are in treatment. Additionally, you won’t have to worry about your aligners preventing you from playing sports or an instruments. As an added bonus, you can remove the aligners and eat whatever foods you want, and you can brush and floss with ease.

Parents are wondering how will I know if my child is wearing their aligners? The compliance indicators located on the upper aligner can estimate the approximate amount of time your teen spends wearing the product. The indicators are designed to fade from blue to clear as a gauge of approximate wear time, so you can ensure your child’s compliance easily. In the even that an aligner is lost or broken, your teen should inform the doctor right away. The doctor will probably tell them to start wearing their last set or next set of aligners immediately. He or she will then order your teen a new set of aligners to replace the ones that were lost. In most cases the replacement aligners should arrive in a few days.
