Types Of Cases That Can Be Treated With Invisalign Teens

  • Crossbite

    A crossbite is when a tooth or teeth bite in the wrong position. This is usually when a bottom tooth or teeth bites outside the top tooth or teeth - but it can sometimes happen the opposite way. If left untreated, a crossbite may cause wear of the affected teeth, resulting in a shifting bite and possible jaw issues.

  • Crowding

    Crowded teeth are harder to clean and do not look as great as they could. Invisalign® for Teens is a great solution for overcrowding.

  • Gap Teeth

    Spacing between teeth can occur if adult teeth are missing or if a baby tooth was lost early and the teeth have drifted around. Invisalign® for Teens is an excellent solution for reducing gaps between teeth.

  • Openbite

    An openbite is when the front teeth don’t meet or touch together. This may have been from a previous habit of thumb-sucking. Invisalign® for Teens is an excellent solution for an openbite

  • Overbite

    An overbite is when there is a large vertical overlap of the front teeth, i.e. the bottom teeth are biting right up into the gum - essentially, the teeth are meeting like a pair of scissors. If left untreated, a deep bite may cause wear of the teeth.

  • Underbite

    An underbite is when the bottom teeth are biting in front of the upper teeth. This may indicate a shifting bite, caused by a crossbite, or an underlying skeletal discrepancy. If left untreated, an underbite may cause irreversible wear or make later treatment more difficult.

Invisalign Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, it is not too old for Invisalign invisible aligners. Invisalign is suitable for both teens and adults of all ages - making it an ideal orthodontic solution for people at any stage of life.

    The clear aligners are designed to be invisible and comfortable, meaning you can continue your daily routine without interruptions.

  • In the UK, NHS orthodontic treatment is mainly for under-18s, based on clinical, not cosmetic, needs. NHS does not cover Invisalign, which is typically a private treatment option.

    Consultation with an Invisalign-trained specialist is recommended to discuss suitable options and available financial assistance.

  • Invisalign works differently than braces and whether it is better for you depends on your individual case.

    While traditional braces are more effective for certain more complex cases, Invisalign provides a less noticeable solution with fewer office visits due to the clear aligners that fit over the teeth.

    Additionally, with Invisalign there is no pain or discomfort associated with the adjustments while they might be present in traditional braces.

  • The cost of Invisalign Teen depends on the severity of the patient's misalignment, as well as the amount of aligners needed to complete treatment. Generally speaking, Invisalign Teen costs between £3,500 and £5,500.

    However, you can book a free consultation to receive a more accurate estimate tailored to your individual needs.

  • The Invisalign Teen system is designed to help teenagers achieve straight teeth without uncomfortable metal braces. It is an innovative system that uses a series of clear plastic aligners to move the teeth into the desired position gradually.

    The invisible aligners are removable, so teenagers can eat, brush and floss normally, making them an ideal choice for busy teens. Plus, Invisalign Teen provides built-in features that help keep teenagers on track with their treatment plan.

  • Invisalign for teens offers many of the same benefits as Invisalign for adults. The main difference is that Invisalign Teen invisible aligners are designed to allow room for growth and accommodate changes in the teen's mouth.

    With tooth-coloured attachments and compliance indicators, you can be sure your teen is wearing the aligners as recommended by their Invisalign doctor.

  • The best age to get Invisalign depends on the individual. Generally speaking, most teenage patients are eligible for Invisalign treatment when they have permanent teeth that have erupted and are suitable for aligner therapy.

    Patients of any age can benefit from Invisalign, so be sure to consult with your orthodontist to determine if you're a good candidate for Invisalign treatment.

  • Each Invisalign treatment plan is tailored to the individual, so it's difficult to give an exact time frame as each case may differ.

    However, on average, Invisalign treatments usually take between 6 and 18 months.

    Our team of certified orthodontists are committed to providing you with the best possible treatment plan with the goal of giving you a beautiful smile in the shortest amount of time.

  • Losing an aligner is not a problem! Invisalign provides replacement aligners at no extra cost so that your teenager can always keep their treatment plan on track.

    If a few days go by without the lost aligner, contact your local Invisalign provider as soon as possible to get back on track with your treatment plan.

  • With Invisalign, you can easily monitor your teenager’s progress with the Invisalign Treatment Tracker app.

    The app gives you and your teen access to detailed views of their teeth's progress and shows how much time they've been wearing their aligners. You can also set reminders for them to wear the aligners so they don't forget.

  • The average time frame for teens to wear Invisalign aligners is typically between 6 and 18 months, depending on the severity of the misalignment.

    Teen patients typically change their aligners every two weeks, and they should attend regularly scheduled check-ups with their orthodontist to ensure progress is being made.
