Clear Aligners (Invisalign) offer a modern, discreet, and effective way to straighten your teeth using a series of clear, custom-made aligners. Each aligner is worn for one to two weeks, gently shifting your teeth into their ideal position. Because they are removable, you can eat, brush, and floss with ease—and since they’re nearly invisible, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

At Lowe Orthodontics, we use advanced digital scanning technology, including the iTero digital scanner, to create a precise 3D model of your teeth. This allows us to plan each step of your treatment in detail—and even show you a preview of your future smile before you get started.

Whether you’re looking to correct crowding, spacing, bite issues, or general misalignment, Clear Aligners offer a flexible and comfortable solution for achieving the smile you’ve always wanted.

Clear Aligners (Invisalign) for Teens

Clear Aligners have helped may adults straighten their smiles and enjoy improved self-confidence over the years. Teens today are busier than ever—juggling school, sports, and social lives. Clear Aligners provide the freedom to straighten their teeth and correct crowding, spacing and bite issues without interfering with their lifestyle.

Clear Aligners are:

  • Removable – No dietary restrictions and easier brushing and flossing.
  • Nearly invisible – Maintain confidence at school or in photos.
  • Custom-fitted – Designed for comfort and precision.

Each aligner is typically worn 20–22 hours per day for about two weeks, with overall treatment time usually ranging from 12 to 24 months. However, because they are removable, it’s essential to stay committed to wearing them as prescribed for optimal results. The ability to remove the Clear Aligners can quickly turn into a disadvantage if they are not being worn the prescribed amount.

Also, please keep in mind that while wearing clear aligners is different from wearing braces, the importance of retaining your post-treatment results is exactly the same. You’ll want to be sure to wear your retainer(s) exactly as prescribed after your treatment is completed to protect your investment in a beautiful new smile.

At Lowe Orthodontics, we’ll assess whether Clear Aligners or traditional braces are the better option for your teen. We want to ensure they receive the most effective treatment possible, without compromising results. We’ll discuss the pros and cons in detail with you so that you can make an informed decision together.
