What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that offers a modern twist on straightening teeth.

These aligners are virtually invisible, so your teen can smile confidently while undergoing treatment.

The best part? Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable, and they can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions. It’s the perfect solution for parents seeking an effective and discreet way to ensure their child achieves a healthy, beautiful smile.

Why We Recommend Invisalign for Growing Kids

Early orthodontic care can make a big difference. Invisalign treatment for growing kids helps guide jaw development, creates space for incoming teeth, and reduces the need for complex treatments later on.

With removable aligners, kids can maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy their favorite foods—making the process easier and more comfortable for the whole family.

The Advantages of the Invisalign System

Easy Oral Care — Because Invisalign aligners are a removable orthodontic appliance, oral hygiene will be easy to maintain, as you will be able to clean your teeth more easily than if you were wearing affixed braces.

Discreet Look — The clear material of Invisalign aligners allow you to feel more confident while undergoing orthodontic treatment because the aligners are practically invisible on your teeth and will go unnoticed.

No Food Restrictions — Patients who wear braces must be more careful about eating certain foods to protect their wires and brackets from damage. When you are using the Invisalign system, you do not have to restrict what you eat, just be sure to remove your clear aligners when you do eat!

Comfort — Invisalign aligners are made of soft, flexible plastic material that will not irritate your mouth, so your orthodontic treatment process will be a comfortable one.

How Invisalign Works

The Invisalign system combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with the 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Invisalign aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by our orthodontist. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan.

Your first step is to visit our office to determine if Invisalign aligners are right for you.

Invisalign for Parents and Kids Together

Make orthodontic care a family experience. If your child is starting Invisalign, why not take the opportunity to enhance your own smile too? Coordinating both treatments means fewer visits, less time off work and school, and a streamlined process for the whole family.

At our office, Dr. Scott can start both treatments during the same visit—making it simple, convenient, and stress-free. Two confident smiles, one plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Invisalign, and how does it work?

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move teeth into the correct position. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next set in the series.

2. Is Invisalign right for kids and teens?

Yes! Invisalign offers options like Invisalign First (for early orthodontic treatment) and Invisalign Teen, designed specifically for growing smiles. These treatments help guide jaw development, create room for permanent teeth, and make oral hygiene easier than traditional braces.

3. Can I get Invisalign at the same time as my child?

Yes! We offer options for parents and kids to start Invisalign together. Dr. Scott can begin both treatments during the same appointment, saving you time and making the process easy for the whole family.

4. How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment time varies based on each patient’s needs, but most cases range from 6 to 18 months. Dr. Scott will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.

5. Do kids need to wear Invisalign aligners all the time?

For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day, only removed for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing or flossing. Consistent wear is key to staying on track.

6. What are the benefits of Invisalign compared to braces?

Invisalign aligners are clear, removable, and more comfortable than metal braces. Kids can enjoy their favorite foods without restrictions and maintain better oral hygiene because they can brush and floss normally.
