Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Invisalign Teen cost?
Invisalign Teen costs are typically comparable to traditional braces. The exact cost depends on the complexity of treatment needed. We offer flexible payment plans and work with most insurance providers to make treatment affordable for your family.
Will people know I'm wearing Invisalign?
Most people won't notice! Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. Even when talking closely with friends, the clear aligners are barely noticeable. This is why so many teens choose Invisalign over traditional braces.
How long do I have to wear the aligners each day?
You should wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day for the best results. This means removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and cleaning your teeth.
Can I eat whatever I want with Invisalign?
Yes! Since aligners are removable, you can eat all your favorite foods. Just remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, then brush your teeth and put them back in. No food restrictions like with traditional braces!
What if I lose or break an aligner?
Contact our office right away! We'll advise whether to move to the next aligner or if you need a replacement. Invisalign Teen comes with replacement aligners included for situations like this, which is perfect for active teenagers.
Can I play sports and instruments with Invisalign?
Absolutely! Remove your aligners for contact sports and use a protective mouthguard. For wind instruments, most teens can play with aligners in, though there may be a brief adjustment period. This flexibility is a huge advantage over traditional braces.
How often do I need to visit the orthodontist?
Typically every 6-8 weeks, which is actually less frequent than traditional braces. These appointments are quick check-ins to monitor progress and receive your next sets of aligners. We try to schedule around school and activities.
Does Invisalign hurt?
You may feel some pressure when you start a new set of aligners, but this is normal and indicates the treatment is working. Most teens find Invisalign much more comfortable than traditional braces since there are no wires or brackets to cause irritation.
How long does Invisalign Teen treatment take?
Treatment typically takes 12-18 months, similar to traditional braces. The exact time depends on your specific case complexity and how consistently you wear your aligners. Following the 20-22 hour wear time is key to staying on track.
