ProviderInvisalign Clear Aligners for Teens on Vancouver Island
The teenage years are such an exciting period of self-discovery and increasing self-awareness. For many kids at this age, their style and lifestyle choices are really important when thinking about orthodontic treatment. That's where Invisalign Teen can make a difference!
Invisalign Teen's lightweight, clear aligners provide the same barely-there look as regular Invisalign. For teens who might worry about how their smiles look while in treatment, this can truly make a difference.
Because the aligners are also removable, they can help busy teens maintain a sense of normalcy in their everyday lives.
Brushing and flossing require no extra work or technique, and they can continue enjoying all their favourite foods without restriction. The aligners can even be removed for playing sports, musical instruments, or on picture day at school.
What truly sets Invisalign Teen apart is its range of built-in features specifically tailored for teenagers.

Invisalign gradually straightens teeth by applying gentle, consistent pressure over time.
The treatment consists 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?
Eruption Tabs
Your teen's permanent teeth may still be coming in. Eruption tabs have been built into Invisalign Teen aligners to give adult teeth the room they need to finish developing.
Compliance Indicators
Invisalign Teen aligners come with small blue dots that disappear after two weeks. These markers help your teen determine how long they should wear each aligner before switching to the next one in the series.
Six Sets of Replacement Aligners
Aligners can be lost or damaged even with the utmost care. Invisalign Teen includes six sets of replacement aligners to help minimize the risk of treatment delays due to lost or broken aligners.
