Teen Invisalign wearers are under the same stipulations as adults: they have to wear the aligner trays for 20 to 22 hours a day, every day. That’s the biggest obstacle for adolescents, but if they can manage that responsibility, the system works just as effectively as metal braces.
Like adults, teens don’t want to be noticed wearing braces. But they do want straighter teeth. With clear aligners for teens, they get the best of both worlds: invisible but effective treatment. Since their smile isn’t affected, their social standing isn’t either. That may provide enough self-esteem for a confidence boost.
