Let’s face it, being a teen comes with enough challenges. Between school, sports, social media, and selfies, the idea of adding metal braces to the mix isn’t always exciting. That’s where Invisalign Teen comes in.
At Robert Stoner Orthodontics, we love giving teens a modern way to straighten their teeth without putting their confidence—or lifestyle—on hold. With clear, removable aligners, Invisalign Teen is the no-metal, no-fuss option that keeps teens smiling throughout treatment.
What Is Invisalign Teen?
Invisalign Teen uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gently move teeth into place over time. Unlike traditional braces, there are no brackets, no wires, and no dietary restrictions. Just smooth, nearly invisible aligners that fit into your daily routine with minimal interruption.
These aligners are designed with teens in mind, with features like:
- Eruption tabs to accommodate growing mouths
- Compliance indicators (tiny blue dots) to track wear time
- Free replacement aligners in case a set gets lost or damaged
Why Teens (& Parents) Love It
Invisalign Teen isn’t just about appearances, it’s about freedom, flexibility, and feeling good every step of the way.
Discreet & Nearly Invisible
Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. So whether you’re giving a presentation, posing for prom pics, or playing your favorite sport, you can feel confident in your smile.
No Food Restrictions
Love popcorn, chips, or gum? No problem. Just pop your aligners out before eating, then brush and put them back in.
Easy to Keep Clean
Since you remove the aligners to brush and floss, there are no tricky wires or brackets to clean around, making it easier to maintain great oral hygiene.
Fewer Office Visits
No wire tightening means fewer emergency appointments. We’ll still check your progress every 6–8 weeks, but visits are typically shorter and simpler.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign Teen?
Invisalign Teen is a great option for many common orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded or spaced teeth
- Overbite or underbite
- Crossbite
- Mild to moderate alignment problems
- Relapse from previous orthodontic treatment
The best way to know if Invisalign Teen is right for you is to schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Stoner. Using digital scans (no goopy impressions!), we’ll evaluate your smile and create a custom plan that works for your needs and lifestyle.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment with Invisalign Teen typically lasts 12–18 months, depending on your case. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1–2 weeks, 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (anything besides water), brush, and floss.
Stick to the plan, and you’ll see steady progress toward your dream smile.
Confidence Starts with a Smile
We know how important confidence is during the teen years, and Invisalign Teen helps you build it without sacrificing your personal style, favorite foods, or everyday activities.
At Robert Stoner Orthodontics, we’re committed to providing teens in Greensboro and Summerfield with advanced, personalized orthodontic care that fits your life and your goals.
