Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the questions teens and parents ask most about Clear Aligners & Invisalign for Teens.
How much do Clear Aligners cost?
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.
Will people know I'm wearing Clear Aligners & Invisalign?
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.
How long do I have to wear the aligners each day?
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.
Can I eat whatever I want with Clear Aligners & Invisalign?
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.
What if I lose or break an aligner?
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.
Can I play sports and instruments with Clear Aligners & Invisalign?
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.
How often do I need to visit the orthodontist?
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.
Do Clear Aligners & Invisalign hurt?
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.
How long does treatment with clear aligners & Invisalign take?
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.
