FAQS
Invisalign® For Teens FAQs
Invisalign® for Teens is usually suitable once most or all of the adult teeth have come through, which for many young people is from around the age of 11 or 12. Every child develops at a different rate, so the best way to know whether your teen is ready is to book a consultation. If treatment is needed earlier, we may recommend Invisalign® for Children instead.
NHS orthodontic treatment for under-18s is based on clinical need and is usually provided with fixed braces. Invisalign® is offered as a private treatment at Bamford Dental Practice. During your teen’s consultation, we will explain all of the available options, including costs, so you can choose what is right for your family. Flexible finance is available, and you can find more information on our fees page.
Invisalign® can treat many of the same concerns as traditional braces, including crowding, spacing, overbites and underbites. Teen aligners are specially designed for growing smiles, and our team uses detailed 3D digital planning to map out each stage of tooth movement. For a small number of more complex cases, fixed braces may be the better option, and we will always recommend the treatment that best suits your teen’s needs.
Teen aligners include small blue wear indicators that gradually fade as the aligners are worn. This makes it easy for parents and teenagers to keep track of daily wear time at a glance. We also use Dental Monitoring, which allows our team to check your teen’s progress remotely and let you know if any adjustments are needed.
Accidents happen, so there is no need to worry. If an aligner is lost or damaged, contact our team as soon as possible and we will advise on the next steps. In many cases, your teen can move on to the next aligner in their series or temporarily wear the previous set while a replacement is arranged.
Yes. Because the aligners are smooth and removable, there are no brackets or wires to cause injury during contact sports or get in the way when playing wind or brass instruments. Your teen can remove their aligners for short periods when needed, or wear a sports mouthguard in their place during matches.
Your Teen’s Invisalign® Patient Journey
Starting orthodontic treatment is a big step for teenagers and parents alike. At Bamford Dental Practice, we keep you both informed and involved at every stage, making the journey to a straighter smile as simple and stress-free as possible.
1.
Your Consultation
Your teen’s journey begins with a friendly, relaxed consultation where we get to know them and understand what they would like to change about their smile. We will examine their teeth, jaw and bite, and use our 3D digital scanner to create an accurate model with no messy impressions. Your teen can then see a preview of their future smile on screen, which is often a real confidence boost. We will talk you through the treatment plan, timescales and costs, and answer any questions you or your teen may have.
2.
Your Treatment
Once the plan is agreed, your teen’s custom aligners are made to fit their teeth precisely. At the fitting appointment, we will show them how to insert, remove and clean their aligners, and explain how the blue wear indicators work. Your teen will then move through their aligner series at home, with each new set gently guiding their teeth into place. Using Dental Monitoring, they can send quick progress scans from their smartphone, allowing our team to keep a close eye on treatment while reducing time away from school.
3.
Your Aftercare
When treatment is complete, we will provide custom-made retainers to help keep your teen’s new smile in place as they continue to grow. We will explain how and when to wear them, as consistent retainer wear is the key to long-lasting results. To celebrate the end of their journey, your teen’s treatment includes complimentary teeth whitening for a bright, confident finish. We will continue to see them for regular check-ups to support healthy teeth and gums for years to come.
