One of the most common questions we hear from parents is:
“Will Invisalign work for my teenager?”

The short answer? Yes—absolutely. Thanks to advances in technology, Invisalign has become a powerful and reliable treatment option for teens. When managed by an experienced orthodontist, Invisalign can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from crowding and spacing to more complex bite problems.

Invisalign for Teens: What Makes It Work

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to guide the teeth into their proper positions. But unlike traditional braces, there are no brackets or wires involved—which means teens can continue enjoying the foods they love and brushing and flossing with ease.

The key to success? Consistency.
In order for Invisalign to be effective, the aligners need to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day. That’s why compliance is such a big part of the process.

Supporting Compliance with Dental Monitoring

At NVO, we’ve taken extra steps to help our teen patients stay on track with their Invisalign treatment. We’ve incorporated a cutting-edge tool called DentalMonitoring, a technology that adds convenience, accountability, and real-time feedback to the aligner process.

Here’s how it works:

• Each patient receives a ScanBox that attaches to their smartphone.
• Using the app, patients take photos of their teeth while wearing their aligners.
• Those photos are sent directly to our team, where an NVO doctor reviews them and provides next steps.
• Both patients and parents receive automatic reminders and alerts when it’s time for the next scan—making it easier to stay on schedule.

Real Results, Real Accountability

By incorporating DentalMonitoring into our teen Invisalign program, we’ve seen increased accountability, improved compliance, and faster progress for many of our patients. It also gives parents peace of mind—because they can stay involved without needing to come into the office as often.

Is Your Teen a Candidate for Invisalign?

If your teenager is looking for a more comfortable, flexible alternative to braces, Invisalign might be the perfect fit. With the right guidance, support, and tools (like DentalMonitoring), Invisalign for teens is not only possible—it’s often preferred.
