Invisalign Teen® in Raleigh, NC
We are a Certified Invisalign Teen Provider
What is Invisalign Teen?
Invisalign Teen is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teen’s teeth without the restrictions that come with metal braces. Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign is a series of clear removable aligners used to straighten teeth over time.
Benefits of Invisalign Teen

- No diet restrictions: You can eat all of the foods you normally eat.

Invisalign Teen Treatment
The key to success with Invisalign Teen is compliance. You’ll need to wear the aligners 20-22 hours per day, every day. If your life won’t let you wear the aligners long enough (sports + music practice + meals), we can find an alternative that might work better for you.
In addition, some tooth movements are not possible with aligners. We can examine your teeth and evaluate your orthodontic situation to see if you are a candidate for Invisalign Teen at your complimentary consultation appointment.
When you complete treatment, you will be able to wear a Vivera retainer to keep your smile in shape. A Vivera retainer is clear, like the aligners, nearly invisible, and built to last. Even better, Drs. Walton and Maready can design the retainer using the iTero Element scanner and ClinCheck software. You will never gag while someone makes a mold of your teeth!
How Much Does Invisalign Teen Cost?
The cost of Invisalign treatment is not very different from traditional braces. If your parents have concerns, ask them to visit. We can discuss payment plans and options once we have examined your teeth.
