Invisalign® for Teens

What is Invisalign® for teens?

At Molen Orthodontics, we use Invisalign to create stunning, natural-looking smiles without headgear, without extracting healthy teeth in most cases, and with the goal to avoid jaw surgery.

When your treatment is complete, you’ll experience a #MolenSmile, designed to complement your facial features, enhance your confidence, and help you look and feel your absolute best. It’s a smile that fits you.

How does Invisalign® for Teens work?

Invisalign for teens uses a series of smooth, custom-made aligners that fit your teeth perfectly and move them little by little — no brackets, no wires, no stress. You’ll wear each set for at least 22 hours a day, swapping them out weekly to keep your smile progress on track.

Each aligner comes with blue compliance indicators that fade as you wear them, so you (and your orthodontist) can easily keep tabs on how things are going.

Lost an aligner? No big deal. Invisalign includes six free replacements. And once your treatment’s done, you’ll receive free retainers for life, so your confident new smile stays in beautiful condition for life.

Benefits of Invisalign® for Teens

Keep your smile clean — easily

Brushing and flossing with braces can be tricky. With Invisalign for teens, it’s simple. Just pop out your aligners to brush and floss like normal, no brackets or wires in the way.

You can clean your aligners with an Invisalign cleaning solution or gently brush and rinse them before putting them back in. It’s an easier, cleaner way to keep your smile fresh and healthy throughout treatment.

For over 50 years, we’ve been trusted by local families to provide personalized orthodontics for teens, while using the most advanced technologies and techniques. Our doctors have not only pioneered many techniques in the industry but continue to teach them to other orthodontists across the nation.

We bring a special expertise that goes beyond straightening teeth. Our treatment plans are designed to support proper growth of the palate, jaw, airway and facial structure to create a healthy bite and a natural-looking, curved smile. With our team, your smile is in highly skilled hands.

With Invisalign, you’re in control. As long as you wear your aligners for 22 hours a day, you can take them out when you need to — whether it’s for a game, a performance, or your yearbook photo. Need a mouthguard for sports? No problem. Want your smile to shine without braces in pictures? Go for it. Invisalign moves with your lifestyle, not against it.
No need to skip the snacks or dodge your favorite foods. With Invisalign, you’ll simply take your aligners out at mealtimes — so yes, you can still have popcorn at the movies or bite into a crisp apple. Just give your teeth a quick brush after eating before popping your aligners back in, and you’re good to go.
