Exceptional Dental Care in Smyrna
A Straighter Smile Without Putting Life on Hold
The teenage years are all about confidence, whether in school pictures, with friends, or in everyday life. While a straight smile is a huge confidence booster, traditional metal braces can often feel like a step backward. At Smyrna Dental Studio, we offer Invisalign® for Teens, the modern orthodontic solution explicitly designed for a teenager's active lifestyle. It’s a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to achieve a beautiful smile without the brackets, wires, and restrictions of braces.
What is Invisalign® for Teens?
Invisalign for Teens is a specialized version of the world's leading clear aligner system. It uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic trays to gradually and gently move teeth into their ideal alignment. While it operates on the same proven principles as adult Invisalign, the teen system incorporates unique features to ensure treatment is successful and stress-free for both teens and their parents.
Smart Features Designed for Teens
Compliance Indicators: Small blue dots on the aligners fade with wear, giving parents and our dental team a simple, visual way to ensure the aligners are being worn for the recommended 20-22 hours a day.
Room for Growing Smiles: The aligners are designed with space to accommodate molars that have not yet fully erupted.
Bonus Replacement Aligners: We understand that life can be unpredictable. The Invisalign for Teens system includes several complimentary replacement aligners, so a lost or broken aligner doesn't derail your progress.
Invisalign vs. Braces: The Clear Winner for Teens
Features | Invisalign for Teens | Traditional Braces |
|---|---|---|
Appearance | Nearly invisible and discreet. | Visible metal brackets and wires. |
Lifestyle | No food restrictions; removable for sports. | Must avoid sticky/hard foods; risk of injury in sports. |
Comfort | Smooth plastic does not irritate. | Wires and brackets can poke and cause mouth sores. |
Hygiene | Removable for easy, effective brushing and flossing | Difficult to clean around, increasing the risk of cavity formation. |

The Big Reveal: Once treatment is complete, we provide a custom Vivera® retainer to protect their investment and keep their new smile perfectly aligned for a lifetime.
Is Your Teen a Good Candidate?
Invisalign is a highly effective solution for the most common orthodontic issues in teens, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, and underbites. The most important factor for success is a commitment to wearing the aligners as prescribed. We will confirm your teen's candidacy during their complimentary consultation.
