Is your teenager hesitating to straighten their teeth because they dread the look of metal brackets, food restrictions, and painful wire tightenings? Invisalign® Teen offers a modern, virtually invisible alternative that lets teens smile with total confidence. At Sunrise Dental Everett, we use cutting-edge 3D intraoral digital scanners to map out your teen's smile journey without gagging putty. As a leading provider of teen orthodontics in Everett, our dental team creates custom clear aligners with discreet compliance indicators and eruption tabs that fit seamlessly into sports, school, and active teenage lifestyles.
How does Invisalign® Teen work?
Invisalign® Teen features clear, smooth aligners made from patented SmartTrack® medical-grade material, upgraded with specialized features engineered specifically for adolescent dentition and busy routines:
SmartTrack® material is specially engineered for teen smiles
- Applies gentle, constant force with maximum day-to-day comfort
- Includes discreet blue compliance indicators that fade with proper wear
- Features eruption compensation tabs for emerging canines and molars
- Comes with up to 6 free replacement aligners for total peace of mind
Goop-free 3D digital scanning using iTero scanner
Your teenager's smile transformation starts with an easy, comfortable consultation at Sunrise Dental Everett. We evaluate their jaw relationship, facial symmetry, and teeth alignment. Instead of using gag-inducing trays filled with cold plaster goo, we guide our high-tech iTero 3D intraoral scanner smoothly over their teeth.
In just a couple of minutes, the iTero scanner captures thousands of high-resolution digital frames to render an exact 3D color model of your teen's mouth. Teens love seeing their teeth displayed in full 3D interactive color right on our screen, making the entire appointment relaxed, interactive, and completely anxiety-free.
Custom 3D ClinCheck® Treatment Planning
Using advanced ClinCheck® digital planning software, our dentists map out each individual tooth shift with sub-millimeter precision. The software calculates the exact, gentle forces needed at each stage, guiding stubborn rotations, closing gaps, and establishing a balanced, harmonious bite.
The most thrilling moment for teens and parents is seeing a 3D digital movie of their future smile before starting! We show you step-by-step how your teen's teeth will shift week-by-week, so they know exactly what their final, straight smile will look like upon graduation.
Aligners custom-built for teenage lifestyles
Once the treatment simulation is finalized, a sequence of custom clear aligners is fabricated from patented SmartTrack® material. Invisalign Teen includes built-in features designed specifically for adolescents: discreet blue compliance indicator dots that gradually fade to clear as the aligners are worn, helping teens and parents track daily 20–22 hour wear time.
The aligners also feature eruption compensation tabs that leave space for second molars or adult canines still growing into place. Plus, Invisalign Teen includes up to 6 free individual replacement aligners if a tray is accidentally lost or damaged.
Sports, music, school lunches & zero restrictions
Your teenager wears each set of aligners for 1 to 2 weeks, for 20 to 22 hours per day. Because aligners are 100% removable, teens can pop them out for cafeteria meals, crunchy snacks, pizza crusts, and apples—with zero dietary bans and zero fear of broken brackets.
For student athletes, aligners fit comfortably under standard sports mouthguards, completely avoiding bloody lip cuts from metal wires during collisions. For band and orchestra members, playing woodwind or brass instruments remains natural and effortless. Brushing and flossing stay completely routine, preventing plaque buildup and white decalcification spots.
Finishing treatment & lifelong smile retention
When your teen reaches their final aligner tray, we perform a detailed evaluation to confirm their bite alignment, arch symmetry, and cosmetic results. Once their beautiful new smile is locked in, we provide custom clear Vivera® retainers.
Made from strong medical-grade thermoplastic, wearing clear retainers at night prevents teeth from naturally drifting backward as jaws mature into early adulthood. Your teen walks into college, job interviews, and adulthood with a radiant, straight smile that lasts a lifetime.

Why teenagers prefer Invisalign over traditional metal braces
- Discreet & Photo-Ready: Crystal-clear plastic aligners fit closely over enamel, so teens can smile freely for selfies, yearbook photos, and special events without feeling self-conscious.
- Zero Food Bans: Removable aligners mean teens can eat popcorn at movies, crunchy apples, chips, and chewy favorites without breaking brackets or emergency dental visits.
- Safe for Athletes & Musicians: Smooth, laser-trimmed edges protect lips from painful cuts during contact sports and let teens play brass or woodwind instruments naturally.
- Hassle-Free Oral Hygiene: Teens brush and floss normally without threading floss through metal wires, protecting their teeth from gum inflammation and permanent bracket stains.
Teen dental concerns corrected by Invisalign Teen
Invisalign Teen treats mild-to-complex alignment and bite issues during the prime adolescent growth years:
