What are Invisalign® Teen?

Invisalign® Teen is a custom-made clear aligner system specifically designed for teenagers, offering a comfortable and virtually invisible alternative to traditional metal braces for straightening teeth. These removable aligners allow teens to continue their normal activities without the restrictions of fixed braces, as they can be taken out for eating, drinking, brushing, and special occasions. Invisalign® Teen includes unique features tailored to growing mouths, such as compliance indicators that help track wearing time and eruption tabs that accommodate emerging teeth, while providing effective treatment for various orthodontic issues including crowding, spacing, and bite problems, typically with fewer office visits and up to 5 months faster treatment time compared to traditional braces.

Our Process For Invisalign® Teen

Invisalign® Teen at London Dental Specialists offers a discreet and comfortable solution for straightening teeth without traditional metal braces. This treatment involves a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gently guide teeth into their desired positions. The process begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment, followed by the creation of a personalised treatment plan. Patients then progress through the treatment procedure, wearing each set of aligners for about two weeks, and conclude with post-treatment care to maintain their new smile. This approach ensures effective results while accommodating the active lifestyles of teenagers.

Conditions We Treat With Invisalign® Teen

Several dental conditions can be helped with Invisalign® Teen at London Dental Specialists in Blackheath. We examine each condition to determine if Invisalign® Teen is the most appropriate treatment option available. Our team explains which conditions respond best to Invisalign® Teen and what results you can expect.


  • Crowded Teeth - Invisalign® Teen effectively treats dental crowding, creating proper spacing between teeth for improved oral hygiene and a more aesthetically pleasing smile.

  • Gaps Between Teeth - Our clear aligners can close unwanted spaces between teeth, creating a more uniform and confident smile for teenagers.

  • Overbite - When upper teeth excessively overlap lower teeth, Invisalign® Teen can gradually correct this common orthodontic issue without metal braces.

  • Underbite - For teens whose lower teeth protrude past their upper teeth, our removable aligners offer a comfortable solution for this condition.

  • Crossbite - Invisalign® Teen effectively addresses situations where some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when biting, preventing uneven tooth wear.

  • Open Bite - When teeth don't meet properly when biting down, our clear aligner technology can help close the gap for improved function.

  • Class II Malocclusions - Invisalign® Teen with mandibular advancement features can treat retrognathic Class II malocclusions in teenagers with permanent dentition.

  • Mild to Moderate Misalignment - Our teen orthodontic treatment provides excellent results for various degrees of teeth straightening needs.

  • Protruding Teeth - Invisalign® Teen can gently move prominent front teeth into better alignment with the dental arch.

  • Teeth Rotation - Our clear aligners can effectively rotate misaligned teeth into proper position for improved function and appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Invisalign Teen suitable for my 14-year-old?


Yes, Invisalign Teen is perfectly suitable for 14-year-olds. This treatment is specifically designed for teenagers who are conscious about their appearance and may feel uncomfortable with traditional metal braces. Invisalign Teen uses gentler, slower tooth movement technology compared to traditional braces, resulting in milder discomfort. At London Dental Specialists, we recommend Invisalign Teen for adolescents who have most of their permanent teeth and sufficient jaw development, which typically occurs around ages 12-14.



Can my child get Invisalign on the NHS?


Orthodontic treatment, including some forms of braces, is available on the NHS for young people under 18 at no cost if a dentist determines it's medically necessary. However, Invisalign Teen specifically is typically not offered through NHS services. At London Dental Specialists, we offer private Invisalign Teen treatment with flexible payment options to make this advanced orthodontic solution more accessible for families.



What is the minimum age for Invisalign treatment?


The minimum age for Invisalign treatment depends on dental development rather than chronological age. Invisalign First is designed specifically for children aged 6-12 to address arch development, tooth crowding, spacing, and protrusions. For Invisalign Teen, most patients begin treatment between ages 12-16 when most permanent teeth have erupted. At London Dental Specialists, we assess each young patient individually to determine if they're ready for Invisalign treatment.



How much does Invisalign Teen cost?


At London Dental Specialists, Invisalign Teen typically costs between £3,000-£4,500, depending on the complexity of the case and treatment duration. For simpler cosmetic fixes, we may recommend Invisalign Go, which starts from £2,500. We offer flexible payment plans to make treatment more affordable. The exact cost will be provided following a comprehensive consultation with one of our orthodontic specialists.



How long does Invisalign Teen treatment take?


The duration of Invisalign Teen treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case. Typically, treatment lasts between 12-18 months. Simple alignment issues may be resolved in as little as 6 months, while more complex cases might require up to 24 months. At London Dental Specialists, we provide a personalised treatment timeline during your teenager's initial consultation based on their specific orthodontic needs.



How are Invisalign Teen aligners different from regular Invisalign?


Invisalign Teen aligners include several features specifically designed for adolescent patients:



  • Blue compliance indicators that fade with use, helping parents and orthodontists monitor wear time

  • Eruption tabs that accommodate the growth of permanent teeth

  • Up to six free replacement aligners in case of loss or damage

  • Specifically engineered to address issues common in teenage dental development


These special features make Invisalign Teen particularly effective for growing mouths while providing the same clear, removable convenience of standard Invisalign.



How many hours per day should my teen wear Invisalign aligners?


For optimal results, Invisalign Teen aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything besides water, and brushing/flossing. The blue compliance indicators on Invisalign Teen aligners help track whether your teenager is wearing them for the recommended time. Consistent wear is crucial for treatment success and staying on schedule with the treatment plan developed by London Dental Specialists.



Will Invisalign Teen affect my teenager's speech or activities?


Most teenagers adapt to speaking with Invisalign aligners within a few days, with any initial slight lisp quickly disappearing with practice. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign Teen aligners can be removed for playing musical instruments, participating in sports (though a separate mouthguard may be recommended), or special occasions like school photos. This flexibility makes Invisalign Teen particularly suitable for active teenagers involved in various extracurricular activities.



How do we maintain Invisalign Teen aligners?


Proper maintenance of Invisalign Teen aligners is straightforward:



  • Clean aligners daily with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush

  • Use Invisalign cleaning crystals or clear, unscented antibacterial soap (never toothpaste)

  • Rinse aligners thoroughly when removed

  • Store aligners in their protective case when not being worn

  • Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic

  • Keep aligners away from pets


At London Dental Specialists, we provide detailed care instructions and regular check-ups to ensure your teenager's aligners remain clean and effective throughout treatment.
