Clear Aligner Treatment for Active Teens

Teens love the idea of “invisible braces” just as much as adults do, leading to increased popularity and demand amongst adolescent patients seeking an effective, practically unnoticeable solution for their smile alignment journey. Traditionally, braces have been the only treatment option available to teens, however, modern technology has introduced wider options for teens, including clear aligners that straighten teeth without the accompanying restrictions to their lifestyle and confidence.

The Active Aligners Teen Solution

The Benefits of Active Aligners Teen

With the clear comfortable technology of Active Aligners, teens can smile confidently at every step of their smile journey. Parents have the reassurance that their child is on the fast track to a straighter, healthier smile, without excessive costs in time and money.

Aesthetics

Discreet for Confidence

The stigma associated with the look of metal braces cause many teens to experience anxiety and avoid straightening their teeth altogether. Active Aligners Teen are virtually invisible, offering teens an effective yet unnoticeable solution to confidently express their authentic self with a smile they love.

Oral Health

Straight Smiles = Healthy Smiles

Active Aligners are removed when eating, drinking or brushing teeth, which soon become second nature to teen patients, fostering good oral hygiene habits. Oral hygiene with traditional braces is more of a challenge because of the fixed wires and brackets.

Treatment Time

Efficient and Convenient

Active Aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours every day to avoid extending treatment periods and ensure the best outcomes are achieved.
Teens generally require an average of 6 months. With more complex cases taking up to a year.

Comfort

Minimal Discomfort

Active Aligners are made from medical grade thermoplastic material. Worn for 2 weeks at a time they gently move teeth in increments, unlike traditional braces made of metal wires and brackets that can cause irritation by poking and scratching cheeks and exerting a greater force with each adjustment which may cause increased discomfort.

Final Outcomes

Predetermined Smile Results

Active Aligners Providers conduct a comprehensive dental exam, collecting data for diagnoses and to determine candidacy. CAD software is used to develop personalised treatment plans according to the treating doctors instructions, detailing each step and presenting the expected smile result.

Lifestyle Impacts

Unrestrictive Daily Living

The perfect solution for the active teen of busy parents, aligner treatment requires fewer dental visits than traditional braces with less time lost at work and school. All aligner sets are given to the treating doctor in advance. Teens who play certain instruments, contact sports, enjoy crunchy foods or feel anxious about the look of braces, can now take on their smile journey with confidence.

More Than a Straight Smile — Better Oral Health for Life

Straight teeth are about more than aesthetics. Active Aligners Teen also supports long-term dental health:

  • 🦷
    Cleaner, Healthier Teeth
    Aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing cavities, plaque, and gum concerns.
  • 😁
    Healthier Gums
    Proper alignment helps gums fit snugly around teeth, supporting long-term stability.
  • ⚖️
    Balanced Bite for Less Wear
    Correct alignment prevents excessive tooth wear, chipping, or jaw strain.
  • 🎤
    Improved Speech & Function
    Proper tooth position may help improve clarity and comfort in speech.
  • 🧠
    Prevents Future Problems
    Addressing alignment early prevents complications in adulthood — from TMJ issues to premature tooth wear.

Parents value these benefits as much as the cosmetic ones — and highlighting them helps show that aligners are a long-term health investment.

Sports, Music & School Life — No Compromise Needed

Active Aligners are designed for teens with busy lifestyles:

  • Sports: Remove aligners or wear a mouthguard over them
  • Musicians: Ideal for brass or woodwind players
  • Performing Arts: Nearly invisible on stage or in photos
  • School-Friendly: No emergency visits for snapped wires or broken brackets

Aligners help your teen stay active, confident, and comfortable throughout treatment.

When Are Braces a Better Option?

Some teens require traditional braces for:

  • Severe bite or jaw discrepancies
  • Impacted teeth
  • Large vertical tooth movements
  • Complex orthodontic needs

If braces are more appropriate, your dentist will guide you to the best treatment plan.
