The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that children should first get their permanent teeth before undergoing orthodontic treatment. Invisalign is not recommended for children under the age of 13. For teenagers, Invisalign is a great option because it is discrete and most people will not even know you are wearing braces.

Invisalign works by gradually moving your teeth into the desired position using a series of clear, plastic aligners. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next one in the series. As you progress through treatment, your teeth will move little by little until they reach the desired position.
Invisalign treatment typically takes about 12 months. However, the time it takes to straighten your teeth depends on your unique treatment needs and how diligent you are with wearing your aligners for the required 20-22 hours per day.
