Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about Invisalign Teen treatment, from teens and parents alike.
How much do clear aligners cost?
Clear aligner costs are typically comparable to traditional braces. The exact cost depends on the complexity of treatment needed. We offer flexible payment plans and work with most insurance providers to make treatment affordable for your family.
Will people know I'm wearing clear aligners?
Most people won't notice! Clear aligners are virtually invisible. Even when talking closely with friends, the clear aligners are barely noticeable. This is why so many teens choose clear aligners over traditional braces.
How long do I have to wear the aligners each day?
You should wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day for the best results. This means removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and cleaning your teeth.
Can I eat whatever I want with clear aligners?
Yes! Since aligners are removable, you can eat all your favorite foods. Just remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, then brush your teeth and put them back in. If brushing is not possible, swish your mouth with water to remove the food residue from teeth. No food restrictions like with traditional braces!
What if I lose or break an aligner?
Contact our office right away! We'll advise whether to move to the next aligner or if you need a replacement. Most times, we will have you simply switch to the next aligner and wear that aligner for additional days.
Can I play sports and instruments with clear aligners?
Absolutely! During contact sports, you can continuing wearing your aligners, but use a protective mouthguard over them. For wind instruments, most teens can play with aligners in, though there may be a brief adjustment period. This flexibility is a huge advantage over traditional braces.
How often do I need to visit the orthodontist?
Typically every 8-10 weeks, which is actually less frequent than traditional braces. These appointments are quick check-ins to monitor progress. We try to schedule around school and activities.
Do clear aligners hurt?
You may feel some pressure when you start a new set of aligners, but this is normal and indicates the treatment is working. Most teens find clear aligners much more comfortable than traditional braces since there are no wires or brackets to cause irritation.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Treatment typically takes 12-24 months, similar to traditional braces. The exact time depends on your specific case complexity and how consistently you wear your aligners. Following the 20-22 hour wear time is key to staying on track.
Is there any downside to clear aligner treatment?
Clear aligner treatment is an excellent, modern way to straighten teeth. It is comfortable, discreet, and effective for a wide range of orthodontic needs. However, its success depends on consistent wear. For the aligners to work properly, they must be worn 20–22 hours per day, only being removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing. If they aren’t worn as directed, tooth movement can slow down or stop, which may delay results or require treatment adjustments. When used correctly, though, clear aligners deliver predictable, beautiful outcomes
