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.
