Orthodontic problems are really common and often we advise early intervention. At Harley Street Dental Studio in the heart of London we understand that teenagers are image-conscious and the teenage years can be difficult. Now we have a solution, which means that younger patients can get the smile of their dreams without having to worry about being lumbered with unattractive, un-cool braces for a long period of time.

About Invisalign Teen

Invisalign Teen is an invisible brace system, which has been developed especially for teenage patients. Invisalign Teen is the same as Invisalign but it has additional features, which make the treatment process easier and hassle-free for younger patients. Invisalign Teen works in exactly the same way as Invisalign; each patient receives a set of custom-made aligners, which are worn for 2 weeks and then replaced with the next aligner is the order until treatment is complete.

Invisalign Teen aligners are removable and they should be taken out when you eat, drink and brush your teeth; it is important to wear the aligners for at least 22 hours per day. All the aligners are slightly different in shape to guide the teeth into position and treatment is planned in advance so that you can see the expected outcome of your treatment.

How is Invisalign Teen different to Invisalign?

Invisalign Teen is different to Invisalign because it has additional features, which benefit younger patients. There are coloured indicators on the aligners to remind you when to swap your aligner for the next one and there are spare aligners, which mean that it’s not the end of the world if you misplace one.

Invisalign Teen is a great option for teenagers; the aligners are virtually invisible, they are very comfortable, they make eating and cleaning your teeth very easy and you have the chance to take your aligners out if you want to look your best for a special occasion.
