ProviderClear Aligners for Appleton & Green Bay Teens
The teen years are a time of self-discovery, so it makes sense that teens place a high value on aesthetics and lifestyle when considering orthodontic treatment. That’s where Invisalign Teen comes in.
Invisalign Teen offers lightweight, transparent aligners that maintain the same subtle look as standard Invisalign. For teenagers worried about how their smiles look during treatment, this can be a game changer.
The aligners are also removable, helping teens maintain a sense of normalcy. Brushing and flossing require no extra work or technique, and they can keep eating all their favorite foods without restriction, too. They can even briefly remove their aligners to play sports or musical instruments or for picture day at school.
What makes Invisalign Teen really special, though, is that it has several built-in features designed specifically for teenagers.
Orthodontic Treatment During the Teen Years
Orthodontic treatment for teens aged 12 to 18 aims to support the healthy growth of their smiles. Invisalign Teen may be part of your teen's orthodontic treatment at our Engage Orthodontics locations.

Invisalign clear aligners help to straighten teeth by applying consistent but gentle pressure.
Treatment comes in the form of a series of custom-made clear aligners. Each aligner plays its specific role and is then switched out for the next one, until the desired results are achieved.
How is Invisalign Teen Different?
Invisalign Teen is designed specifically with growing smiles in mind, offering unique features that make treatment easier, more flexible, and teen-friendly.
Eruption Tabs
Many teens still have adult teeth erupting. Eruption tabs have been built into Invisalign Teen aligners to give adult teeth the room they need to finish developing.
Compliance Indicators
Invisalign Teens comes with handy compliance indicators. These blue dots will slowly fade over two weeks, and once they are completely gone, you'll know to switch to your next set of aligners.
6 Sets of Replacement Aligners
Even those who are very careful with their aligners can misplace a set. Invisalign Teen comes with six sets of replacement aligners to help reduce the risk of treatment delays from lost or broken aligners.
