Frequently Asked Questions

The price of Clear Aligners & Invisalign for Teens is usually similar to that of conventional braces, though your total investment depends on how complex your treatment plan is. We provide adaptable payment options and coordinate with most insurance plans to help make your orthodontic care manageable and budget-friendly.

Clear Aligners & Invisalign are nearly invisible, so most people won’t even realize you’re wearing them. Even up close, the clear trays blend seamlessly with your smile, making them a popular choice for teens who want a discreet alternative to braces.

For optimal results, keep your aligners in for 20–22 hours each day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything besides water, or brush and floss. The built-in compliance markers help monitor how consistently you’re wearing them.

Absolutely! Because your aligners are removable, you can enjoy all the foods you love. Simply take them out for meals or drinks (excluding water), brush afterward, and pop them back in, with no dietary restrictions like those with regular braces.

Reach out to our office as soon as possible! We’ll guide you on whether to switch to your next aligner or request a replacement. Clear Aligners & Invisalign for Teens includes spare aligners, making it ideal for busy, on-the-go teens.

Definitely! Take out your aligners when playing contact sports and wear a mouthguard for protection. If you play a wind instrument, you can usually keep your aligners in, though it might take a short time to get used to it. This kind of flexibility is one of the biggest benefits compared to traditional braces.

Approximately every 10-12 weeks, these visits happen less often than with traditional braces. Each appointment is a brief check-up to track your progress and pick up your next aligners, and we do our best to work around school and extracurricular activities.

It’s normal to notice a bit of pressure when you begin a new set of aligners but don’t worry, because this just means your treatment is progressing. Many teens find Clear Aligners & Invisalign far more comfortable than regular braces because there are no wires or brackets to rub or irritate.

Treatment with Clear Aligners & Invisalign can last from 12-24 months, much like traditional braces. Your exact timeline depends on how complex your case is and how faithfully you wear your aligners. Sticking to the recommended 20–22 hours a day is essential for staying on schedule.

“Amazing staff and care, always taking the best care. Dr Marston is always so caring and encouraging, as well as super supportive to help rework and restrategize the way that he assists your needs.”

John K

“Dr. Marston is absolutely professional, and all the staff are very kind. My case was not easy I had to pause and redo it because of my TMJ but what I appreciate most about Dr. Marston is his patience and dedication throughout the process. My daughter also loves visiting the clinic because of the welcoming, kid-friendly environment.”

MCogan

“Just finished my Invisalign treatment. Awesome experience from beginning to end. I felt very comfortable with every step of the process from the first consultation to receiving my retainers. Every question no matter how dumb it sounded was answered professionally. They even worked with me when I moved overseas to continue my treatment. Thanks a ton Dr. Marston and team! I appreciate all of you.”

Mark S

“The entire staff is not only incredibly friendly but also consistently professional. They always go above and beyond to accommodate our scheduling needs, which we deeply appreciate.

He takes the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring that both the patient and their family fully understand the treatment plan and what to expect. We couldn’t ask for a better orthodontic experience—and we highly recommend Marston Orthodontics to anyone in need of care!”
