Invisalign Teen uses a sequence of custom-made clear aligners that gradually move the teeth into alignment. Each aligner is worn for one to two weeks before switching to the next set in the series.
The aligners are made from a smooth, medical-grade plastic designed for comfort. They are almost invisible when worn, allowing teenagers to continue their day-to-day life without feeling restricted. Because they are removable, it’s easy for teens to keep their teeth clean and continue eating the foods they enjoy.For parents seeking a modern braces alternative, Invisalign Teen provides clinically proven results through safe, digital orthodontic planning.
01
Your teen’s journey begins with a detailed orthodontic consultation at our Carshalton practice. Using our iTero 3D digital scanner, we take accurate impressions of the teeth without any uncomfortable moulds. This technology allows our clinicians to plan precise tooth movements and preview the expected results before treatment starts.
02
Invisalign then fabricates a series of aligners tailored specifically for your teenager’s smile. Each aligner applies gentle pressure to guide the teeth into place, following the digital treatment plan created by our clinicians.
03
We’ll arrange regular review appointments to monitor progress and make any adjustments if needed. These short visits ensure treatment remains on track while giving parents and teens the reassurance they need.
04
Once treatment is complete, a retainer is worn to maintain results and prevent teeth from shifting. With good aftercare, your child’s new smile will last for years to come.
Discreet & confidence-boosting: Virtually invisible aligners allow teenagers to smile freely at school and in social situations.
Removable & easy to clean: Teens can eat normally and maintain good oral hygiene without hassle.
Comfortable: Smooth edges mean no mouth irritation from wires or brackets.
Smart tracking: Built-in blue wear indicators help monitor usage.
Predictable outcomes: Each stage of treatment is digitally planned for accuracy.

Invisalign Teen is typically suitable for patients aged 12 to 18, once most of the adult teeth have come through. During your child’s consultation at Lakewood Dental in Carshalton, our dentist will assess their teeth and jaw development to confirm whether it’s the right time to begin treatment or if monitoring growth for a little longer would be beneficial.
For many mild to moderate alignment cases, Invisalign Teen can be just as effective as traditional fixed braces. The aligners are custom-made to move the teeth gradually and precisely, providing predictable results when worn as advised. During your consultation, our clinician will explain the best options for your child’s specific orthodontic needs.
Aligners should be worn for around 20 to 22 hours each day, and only removed for eating, drinking, and brushing. Consistent wear is essential to achieve the planned results within the expected timeframe. Our team will provide clear guidance and regular progress reviews to help your teenager stay on track.
Some mild pressure or tenderness can be expected when starting a new set of aligners, as this means the teeth are moving. However, Invisalign Teen is generally much more comfortable than traditional braces, with no brackets or wires to cause irritation. Any initial discomfort usually settles within a few days.
Yes. Invisalign Teen aligners are smooth, removable, and fit closely to the teeth, so they rarely interfere with daily activities. Your child can continue to play sports, musical instruments, and enjoy social events confidently throughout treatment.
