What Is Invisalign for Kids and Teens?

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to move teeth gradually into better positions. Each set is worn for a period of time before moving to the next, and because the clear aligners are almost invisible, many teens prefer them to traditional braces.

Whether clear aligners suit a younger child or a teenager depends on their teeth, bite, and how many permanent teeth have come in. Your dentist will look at all of this at an orthodontic evaluation and explain what fits your child.

Why Families Choose Clear Aligners

Hard to noticeClear aligners are far less visible than brackets and wires.
No food restrictionsAligners come out for meals, so no list of banned foods.
Easier brushingBrush and floss normally with the aligners out.
Sports friendlyRemovable for contact sports, paired with a mouth guard.
Planned in stagesYour dentist maps the movement before treatment starts.
ConfidenceMany teens feel more comfortable smiling during treatment.

Clear aligners only work when they are worn as directed, usually most of the day and night. If your child is likely to leave them out, braces may be the better choice. Your dentist will be honest with you about which option fits your child’s needs.

How Invisalign Treatment Works

1

Orthodontic evaluation

The dentist checks your child’s teeth, bite, and jaw growth, and takes X-rays if needed.

2

Digital plan

Scans or impressions are used to plan how the teeth will move, step by step.

3

Aligner series

Your child wears each set as directed, then moves to the next in the series.

4

Check-in visits

We check progress and hand over the next aligners.

5

Retainers

When treatment finishes, retainers keep the new positions.

Invisalign or Braces for Your Child?

Invisalign clear aligners

  • Clear and removable, so many teens prefer them
  • Taken out to eat and brush, so no food restrictions
  • Needs discipline: worn most of the day, every day
  • Best for many, but not all, alignment and bite issues

Braces

  • Fixed to the teeth, so nothing to remember
  • Works for a wide range of bite and spacing problems
  • Hard, sticky and chewy foods are limited
  • Extra care brushing around brackets and wires

Caring for Aligners

Do this

  • Wear them as many hours a day as your dentist directs
  • Rinse aligners when they come out
  • Clean them gently as instructed
  • Store them in their case at every meal
  • Keep brushing and flossing normally

Please avoid

  • Do not eat or drink anything but water with aligners in
  • Do not use hot water, which can warp them
  • Do not wrap them in a napkin, the classic way to lose them
  • Do not skip days and expect treatment to stay on schedule
  • Do not ignore a cracked or poorly fitting aligner

Lost or cracked aligner? Call 213-529-4010

Do not jump ahead to the next set on your own. Call us and our team will tell you whether to wear the previous set or come in.

Good Candidates for Clear Aligners

Responsible about wear time Most permanent teeth in place Mild to moderate alignment issues Wants a less visible option Plays sports or instruments
