Invisalign teen
Clear aligners can be worn by patients of all ages but especially teens. Many teens would like to straighten their teeth but do not want metal or clear braces.
Invisalign teen allows patients to achieve the smile that they want without having to wear any types of braces.
Invisalign teen’s unique features
Invisalign teen is very similar to Invisalign except for one unique feature…a blue dot! This blue indicator allows our orthodontists in Sachse to make sure your teen is wearing their clear aligners properly.
If the blue indicator has turned colorless we know the patient is wearing their aligners well. If the blue indicator is still bright blue when your teen is trying to change trays we know that they are not wearing their trays properly.
