What Is Invisalign^® Teen?

Invisalign^® Teen is part of the trusted Invisalign system, created specifically for teenage patients. Using a series of custom, clear aligners made from smooth SmartTrack® material, Invisalign^® Teen gradually moves teeth into alignment — without brackets or wires.

Each set of aligners is worn for about 1–2 weeks and replaced with the next in the series until treatment is complete. Designed for active lifestyles, Invisalign^® Teen allows freedom, flexibility, and confidence throughout the process.

Why Teens Love Invisalign^®

Teenagers lead busy, social lives. They want orthodontic treatment that’s discreet, easy to manage, and doesn’t interfere with confidence. Invisalign^® Teen offers all that — and more.

Key Benefits Include:

• Nearly Invisible Appearance – Clear aligners blend with your natural teeth for a subtle look.

The Invisalign^® Teen Process at DiFranco Orthodontics

1. Digital Smile Assessment

We begin with an iTero® digital scan to create a 3-D model of your teen’s teeth and bite — no messy impressions.

2. Custom Treatment Plan

Using Invisalign’s advanced ClinCheck® software, we design a personalized treatment roadmap showing projected movements and results before treatment even begins.

3. Active Treatment Phase

Your teen will wear aligners 20–22 hours per day, changing to a new set every 1–2 weeks. Our team monitors progress through in-person visits or virtual check-ins.

4. Maintaining the Results

After treatment, a custom retainer ensures the new smile stays perfectly aligned.
