What's included

  • A quick 3D iTero scan of the teeth
  • A preview of the planned result
  • Custom-made sets of clear aligners
  • Check-ins until treatment is done

Is Invisalign Teen right for my teen?

It works well for minor crowding, gaps and crooked teeth. Metal braces may still be better for complex cases. Dr. Haywood will tell you which fits.

Wearing the aligners

Aligners are worn at least 22 hours a day and come out only to eat, drink and clean the teeth. Each set is worn for about two weeks.

Straight teeth, without the metal

Many teens are put off by the idea of braces. Invisalign Teen uses clear aligners instead of brackets, so teeth straighten gently without drawing attention.

Frequently asked questions

Will other people notice the aligners?

Rarely. The aligners are clear, so they don't stand out against the teeth the way brackets do.

Can my teen eat normally?

Yes. The aligners come out for meals and drinks, so there are no food limits. Brush before putting them back in.

How long does treatment take?

It depends on how much the teeth need to move. Most treatment takes 12 to 18 months, and some takes as little as six. Dr. Haywood gives you a timeline at the consultation.

What can Invisalign Teen correct?

Minor crowding, gaps and crooked teeth. Metal braces may be better for complex cases. See all orthodontic options.

Can we pay for Invisalign Teen monthly?

Yes. After a down payment, you can make monthly payments to our office. Payment plans through CareCredit and Cherry are also available.
