Invisalign® aligners are a convenient and discreet way to straighten your teeth, but proper care is essential to keep them clear, fresh, and effective. 

As a parent, it’s normal to wonder if your child’s teeth are developing the way they should. You may be asking yourself: Is it too early for braces? Or should we be seeing an orthodontist already?

Whether you’ve completed Invisalign® or braces, wearing a retainer is the key to protecting your investment, and your confidence. It keeps your teeth stable, and ensures your smile.

If you’ve been researching ways to straighten teeth especially for your teen, you’ve probably come across two common options: Invisalign® clear aligners and at-home mail-order aligner kits. 

If your teen has been recommended for braces, you may be wondering what the process looks like, how long treatment usually takes, and what you can do to support them at home.

Traditional braces often require frequent adjustments, but Invisalign typically involves shorter and less frequent appointments. Most adults only need to visit their orthodontist every 10-12 weeks.
