Invisalign for Teens

It’s important to remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than cold water. Eating whilst wearing Invisalign braces could mean that you chew through your aligners and break them. Dark coloured food and drinks will also risk staining your Invisalign aligners which will make them look unsightly.

This will depend on the complexity of the condition being treated as certain movements can take longer than others. Typically, treatment can last between 12-24 months. However, the treatment time will also depend on your child’s compliance and ensuring the aligners are being worn for the optimal time.

At The Cosmetic Dental Gallery prices for Invisalign Teen start from £4000, but this can vary depending on the severity and complexity of the case. Some treatment plans may involve manipulating jaw growth. 

Intercepting and addressing biting or alignment concerns early on will prevent them from worsening over time, potentially making treatment more difficult and expensive. Also, treating your child early allows us to take advantage of your child’s growth potential, which can shorten treatment timeframes.

Yes, Invisalign can be an excellent option for teens. Invisalign Teen aligners are designed specifically for younger patients and offer many benefits compared with traditional braces:

• Nearly invisible: Teens can straighten their teeth without the look of metal braces, which many find more confidence‑boosting.
• Removable: Aligners can be taken out for eating, brushing, and special occasions, making oral hygiene easier and reducing the risk of food getting stuck.
• Comfortable: Smooth aligner material typically causes less irritation than metal brackets and wires.
• Customised treatment: Invisalign Teen includes compliance indicators and custom fit aligners to help ensure teeth move effectively and safely.
• Fewer appointments: Many teens require fewer in‑office adjustments than with traditional braces.

Each each set of aligners adjusts your teeth progressively. Tenderness may occur in the first few days of wearing a new aligner, but it will pass. When you use Invisalign®, you will probably forget you are wearing aligners for the majority of the day. Over-the-counter pain medicines will help with any aches or soreness.

Patients choose Invisalign Teen to straighten their teeth because:

• Invisalign braces are translucent and almost unnoticeable. Nobody will know you’re getting your teeth straightened unless you tell them!
• Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are painless to wear and are not uncomfortable for the inside of your mouth.
• Invisalign are removable clear braces that are easier to maintain clean, plaque-free, and more sanitary than traditional braces..
• Invisalign can straighten crooked teeth, repair projecting teeth, close undesired gaps, space out overcrowded teeth, and cure certain bite issues.
• Before you start treatment with Invisalign, you can see how your teeth will look when they are straight.
