Invisalign Teen

Your Invisalign Teen® treatment at Springfield Smile Doctor will consist of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place. And since your Invisalign® system is custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only, with a plan devised by you and Dr. Randi Green or Dr. Brenda Herrman, you know you’ll end up with a smile that truly fits.

Invisalign Teen® uses the same technology as adult aligners, moving teeth gradually with each set of clear, comfortable plastic aligners. The teen versions have three new unique and special features.

Blue wear-indicators fade from blue to clear to help you or your teen gauge wear time

Designed to compensate for the growth of new teeth and molars

Six free individual replacement aligners are included in case any get lost or misplaced
