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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Invisalign Teen aligners include several features specifically designed for adolescent patients:
These special features make Invisalign Teen particularly effective for growing mouths while providing the same clear, removable convenience of standard Invisalign.
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.
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.
Proper maintenance of Invisalign Teen aligners is straightforward:
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.
