If you’ve been researching ways to straighten teeth especially for your teen, you’ve probably come across two common options: Invisalign® clear aligners and at-home mail-order aligner kits. 

Traditional braces often require frequent adjustments, but Invisalign typically involves shorter and less frequent appointments. Most adults only need to visit their orthodontist every 10-12 weeks.

Getting Invisalign aligners is just the first step in your smile transformation journey. The real challenge comes with wearing them correctly every day and keeping up with your treatment.

Invisalign® can be a solid option for teens, but it really depends on your child’s dental needs, their maturity, and whether they’ll actually stick to the treatment guidelines.

When you're thinking about getting Invisalign®, you might wonder if you should see your regular dentist or visit an orthodontist. Both general dentists and orthodontists can provide Invisalign®.

Many people worry about how Invisalign will change their speech when they first consider clear aligner treatment. Most patients experience only minor, temporary speech changes.
