What Makes Invisalign Teen Different?
There are 3 key differences that make Invisalign Teen the right option to make your teenagers treatment run as smoothly as possible:
Six Sets of Replacement Aligners
Aligners can get lost or damaged even with the most meticulous care. Invisalign Teen comes with six sets of replacement aligners to help reduce the risk of treatment delays from lost or broken aligners.
Compliance Indicators
Invisalign Teen aligners features small blue dots that fade away after two weeks. These indicators help your teen keep track of how long they need to wear each aligner before changing to the next in the series.
Eruption Tabs
Your teen's adult teeth may still be erupting. Eruption tabs have been built into Invisalign Teen aligners to give adult teeth the room they need to finish developing.
