Invisalign Teen in Las Vegas, NV
Invisalign offered at Summer Dental & Orthodontics - our sister office in Summerlin, Las Vegas.
Invisalign Teen
The clear choice for comfortable straightening.
Invisalign is the discreet, comfortable, and convenient way to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth. Invisalign aligners, or trays, are made of a virtually invisible material that your teen will wear for 22 hours each day. They gently move the teeth, tray by tray, until treatment is complete.
Invisalign Teen is designed specifically for a teenager’s busy lifestyle. It includes compliance indicators so our orthodontist will know if the trays are being worn correctly and eruption tabs for kids who don’t have all of their teeth yet.
Your teen may remove their trays to eat, drink, brush, and floss. They can also be removed for events like school pictures and graduation. Invisalign aligners do not require wires or brackets, making them more comfortable than traditional braces.
How do we do it?
Benefits of Invisalign Teen
There are no sharp metal wires or brackets, and the trays are custom-made to fit your teen’s mouth.
The average Invisalign treatment time is one year. There are also fewer appointments.
Your teen can straighten their teeth discreetly and remove their trays to eat, so there are no food restrictions.
Did you know that early intervention may be able to prevent or minimize misalignment issues, making your child’s treatment faster and less expensive?
We invite patients as young as seven to come in for an initial exam. Our orthodontist knows what to look for in your child’s developing smile.
