Teen Aligners
Overview
Teen aligners are specially designed clear aligner systems for teenagers, featuring compliance indicators and other features that work with active teen lifestyles.

Treatment Process
Teen aligner treatment follows a similar process to adult aligners but includes special features for teens. We begin with a digital scan and create a treatment plan. The aligners include compliance indicators that fade when worn the recommended amount of time, helping teens stay on track. Regular check-ups every 6-8 weeks allow us to monitor progress and address any concerns. The removable nature of aligners makes them perfect for teens involved in sports or music.
FAQs
How do compliance indicators work?
Compliance indicators are small dots on the aligners that fade when worn the recommended 20-22 hours per day, helping monitor wear time.
Can teens play sports with aligners?
Yes, aligners should be removed during contact sports, and a mouthguard should be worn to protect the teeth.
What if my teen loses an aligner?
Contact us immediately. We can provide a replacement, and in some cases, your teen can move to the next set of aligners.

Treatment typically takes 12-18 months, similar to adult aligner treatment, depending on the complexity of the case.
