Frequently Asked Questions
Invisalign Teen includes unique features:

- Specially designed to accommodate growing mouths and emerging teeth
Most teens become eligible for Invisalign Teen once they have all their permanent teeth (except wisdom teeth), typically around age 14. However, case complexity and responsibility level are important factors. The blue dot indicators help parents and the Invisalign Teen provider monitor compliance with the recommended 20–22 hours daily wear.
The cost of Invisalign treatment varies based on case complexity and treatment time. For an accurate assessment, schedule a consultation with an Invisalign provider.
Many dental insurance plans now cover Invisalign Teen similarly to traditional braces. Most dental offices also offer flexible payment plans to make treatment more affordable for families.
While Invisalign offers numerous advantages, there are some considerations:
- Not suitable for certain complex orthodontic issues (your Invisalign Teen provider will determine eligibility during consultation).
- Requires self-discipline to wear aligners 20-22 hours daily
