Invisalign Teen in Kent, WA
Invisalign Teen uses clear, removable aligners designed for teenagers - with built-in wear indicators and room for erupting teeth. It straightens teeth discreetly without the look or feel of metal braces. At Advanced Orthodontics Kent, Dr. Gabriela Aragon offers Invisalign Teen as a comfortable fit for an active teen’s life.
Between classes, sports, photos, and special events, the last thing most teens want is metal braces. Invisalign® Teen offers a different path - one that fits everyday life with less stress and more confidence. At Advanced Orthodontics Kent, Dr. Gabriela Aragon and her team design each Invisalign Teen plan to deliver great results while keeping treatment as discreet and comfortable as possible.
What Makes Invisalign Teen Different?
Invisalign Teen uses a series of clear, custom aligners that gradually guide teeth into place. The aligners are clear so they blend in, removable so meals and hygiene stay easy, comfortable with smooth edges, and customized to your teen’s smile - with built-in wear indicators that help track consistent use.
Can My Teen Still Eat What They Want?
Yes. Because the aligners are removable, there are no food restrictions and nothing to worry about breaking - pizza, popcorn, crunchy snacks, and special treats are all fine. Your teen simply removes the aligners to eat, then brushes and puts them back in.
Will It Get in the Way of Sports or Activities?
Not at all. Whether your teen is playing sports, swimming, performing music, or in school activities, the aligners stay out of the way. With no metal brackets or wires, many teens find Invisalign more comfortable and flexible than traditional braces - though for some cases, braces are still the better fit, and Dr. Aragon will say so honestly.
How Treatment Gets Started
Dr. Aragon begins with a free consultation to determine whether Invisalign Teen is the right option. Using an iTero® digital scan, she plans each step and explains what to expect, then monitors progress closely to make sure teeth are moving safely and effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Invisalign Teen treatment take?
Many cases finish in 12-18 months, depending on how much correction is needed. Dr. Aragon provides a personalized timeline from your teen’s digital scans at the consultation.
What if my teen forgets to wear their aligners?
Consistent wear matters. Invisalign Teen includes built-in wear indicators to help track use, and our team works closely with teens and parents to keep treatment on track. Inconsistent wear can lengthen treatment.
Can Invisalign Teen fix bite problems, not just crooked teeth?
Yes - it can correct many bite concerns including overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Dr. Aragon will confirm whether aligners can safely address your teen’s specific needs.
Will my teen need a retainer afterward?
Yes. Retainers maintain the results after treatment, and Dr. Aragon will recommend the right retention plan to keep your teen’s smile stable. See our retainers page.
