What is Invisalign Teen?

Invisalign Teen is a specialized version of Invisalign designed specifically for the unique needs of teenage patients. It includes all the benefits of Invisalign—nearly invisible aligners, removable design, and SmartTrack technology—plus additional features that address common concerns for teens and their parents.

At Curve Orthodontics in Haralur Road, Bangalore, Dr. Garima Gupta is a certified Invisalign provider with experience treating teenagers with clear aligners. We understand that teens have active social lives, participate in sports, play musical instruments, and care about their appearance—Invisalign Teen is built around these realities.

Unlike traditional braces with visible metal brackets, Invisalign Teen allows teenagers to straighten their teeth confidently, without the self-consciousness that often accompanies orthodontic treatment during these formative years.

Why Parents and Teens Love Invisalign Teen

For Teens

Confidence & Appearance The teenage years are a time of heightened self-awareness. Metal braces can make some teens feel self-conscious about their smile. Invisalign Teen offers a discreet alternative—most people won't even notice they're wearing aligners.

Freedom for Activities

• Sports: Remove aligners for football, basketball, martial arts, or any contact sport—no mouth guards over braces needed
• Music: Playing wind instruments or singing? Simply take aligners out during practice and performances
• Eating: Enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about breaking brackets or getting food stuck

No Lifestyle Interruption Teens can continue their normal activities without the adjustments that braces require. From school photos to prom, Invisalign Teen lets your natural smile show.

For Parents

Compliance Tracking The blue compliance indicator dots fade with wear time. At check-up appointments, we can confirm aligners are being worn consistently—no relying solely on your teen's word.

Built-in Protection With up to 6 replacement aligners included, you're covered if aligners get lost at school, thrown away at lunch, or damaged during activities.

Fewer Emergency Visits Unlike braces, there are no wires to poke or brackets to break. This means fewer urgent trips to the orthodontist and less disruption to your schedule.

Is My Teen Ready for Invisalign?

Invisalign Teen works well for teens who:

• Are committed to wearing aligners 20-22 hours daily
• Will remember to put aligners back after eating
• Have most of their permanent teeth (eruption tabs help with remaining baby teeth)
• Want a discreet alternative to metal braces

Dr. Garima will assess your teen's orthodontic needs and maturity level during consultation to determine if Invisalign Teen is the right choice.

Invisalign Teen Treatment Process

Step 1: Consultation Your teen visits with you for an initial assessment. Dr. Garima examines their teeth, takes digital scans, and discusses treatment goals with both of you.

Step 2: 3D Treatment Plan Using ClinCheck software, we create a visualization of the entire treatment—showing how teeth will move from start to finish.

Step 3: Aligners Arrive Custom-made aligners are delivered. We explain proper wear, care, and the compliance indicator system.

Step 4: Treatment Phase Your teen wears aligners 20-22 hours daily, changing to new trays every 1-2 weeks. Check-ups every 6-8 weeks monitor progress.

Step 5: Retention After treatment, Vivera retainers maintain the beautiful new smile your teen has earned.
