Every teenager has their own rhythm — from sports practices and social events to music lessons and weekend adventures. At Family Orthodontics of Jupiter, Dr. Christopher West understands that no two teen orthodontic cases are exactly alike. That’s why our office uses cutting-edge solutions from Align Technology, including advanced digital design tools and the innovative SmartTrack® material, to create individualized Invisalign treatment plans tailored to your teen’s unique smile and lifestyle.
With this proven system, we can carefully plan every stage of treatment digitally, helping achieve a straighter, healthier smile that often progresses up to 50% faster than traditional treatment options.* The process is more precise, more comfortable, and more flexible — a perfect match for today’s active teens who want their smile to keep pace with everything else they love to do.
Beginning the Journey: Personalized Planning With Digital Precision
Before any aligners are ever made, your teen’s Invisalign journey begins with digital imaging or a detailed impression. This scan gives Dr. West a digital foundation to map out exactly how each tooth will move from its current position to its ideal alignment. Every stage of the process is visualized before treatment begins, so parents and teens alike can see the anticipated outcome from day one.
Once the treatment plan is finalized, that digital blueprint guides the creation of a series of custom aligners. These aligners are crafted with Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack® material, designed for efficient, gentle, and predictable movement of teeth. Teens appreciate how comfortable the trays feel compared to traditional metal brackets and wires — and how little they interfere with daily life.
Life-Friendly Aligners for Busy Teens
Between school days, sports, and social events, today’s teens are constantly on the go. Invisalign clear aligners are meant to fit seamlessly into that pace. Worn approximately 22 hours each day, the aligners apply consistent, gentle pressure to gradually move teeth without the friction or irritation caused by metal braces.
Parents can easily monitor wear-time with a built-in compliance indicator on each set of trays — a helpful feature that ensures accountability and success throughout treatment. When it’s time for a meal or an important event, aligners can be removed effortlessly, allowing teens to continue enjoying their favorite foods, play wind instruments, or participate in games and performances without worry. Everyday moments stay enjoyable while progress continues quietly behind the scenes.
The Transformation: Confidence That Builds Step by Step
Every few weeks, your teen will transition to a new set of aligners, representing another small but meaningful step toward their ideal smile. Because aligners are replaced sequentially, you and your teen can watch their smile transform gradually and comfortably — no sudden adjustments or wire tightenings are needed.
For parents seeking peace of mind, Invisalign offers the Invisalign Teen Guarantee. If your teen decides within the first six months that they’d prefer traditional braces, you can switch treatment options confidently with no delay in progress. However, most teens find that the flexibility, comfort, and nearly invisible appearance of Invisalign make it their top choice all the way through.
What Sets Invisalign for Teens Apart
Choosing Invisalign for your teen comes with clear advantages that extend beyond aesthetics. This advanced system can correct both minor and complex orthodontic conditions while offering everyday convenience and confidence.
Here’s why both teens and parents love Invisalign treatment at Family Orthodontics of Jupiter:
