Invisalign aligners have been transforming smiles since the late 1990s, but traditional metal braces — the “tin grin” — have long been seen as a teenage milestone. Still, we understand that for some teens, drawing attention to their changing smile can feel uncomfortable. At the same time, many parents wonder whether Invisalign aligners for teens come with a higher price tag than braces.

The truth is, Invisalign treatment offers real advantages for both teens and their parents — and not just because it’s a more discreet way to straighten teeth.

  1. Affordable: Comparable in cost to braces — and in some cases, even more budget-friendly
  2. More Efficient: Fewer, shorter office visits mean less time away from school or activities
  3. Easier Hygiene: Since aligners are removable, brushing and flossing stays simple and effective
  4. Faster Results: In many cases, teens can achieve their smile goals even sooner than with traditional braces

I got my braces off and I’m very happy with the results. The staff was very nice and helpful

Always a great experience at Hendrix Ortho in Jennersville. In November 2024 Dr. Hendrix noticed a mass in my right sinus cavity from an x-ray he took to get a comprehensive view of my bone and teeth structures prior to beginning any work. I had no pain or other issues in my sinuses and no idication of any concern. After several visits to various doctors, it was determined I had a large cyst in my sinus cavity that required a surgical procedure to remove. This finding by Dr. Hendrix saved me, in all likelihood, from losing several upper teeth on my right side and eventual gum/tissue degradation. Thank you Dr. Hendrix and team for being thorough with my evaluation and assessment. Always a great experience from an excellent starting consultation through all of my visits! Thank you to the entire staff!

So happy with the experience we had with Dr. Hendrix and his team. They deserve every one of the five stars and a few extra. The care they give is EXCEPTIONAL. The whole process for my daughter’s treatment was a breeze for me and her! I can’t praise them enough!! THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO!

From my daughter's first visit to her unexpected last, Dr. Hendrix and his team have been nothing short of amazing! They are incredibly friendly and genuinely care about their patients, which is evident the moment you walk in. My daughter was pleasantly surprised when it turned out it was time for her braces, and the team handled everything seamlessly. Ashlynn did an outstanding job throughout the process. We left with a retainer and a smile! Highly recommend Dr. Hendrix Orthodontics for anyone looking for top-notch care.

Invisalign Teen Works Much Like Braces

Whether your teen’s treatment involves braces, Invisalign aligners, or a combination of both, Dr. Jeff Hendrix and the team at Hendrix Orthodontics focus on five key goals:

  1. Promoting healthy teeth and jaw function
  2. Creating a balanced, confident smile and facial structure
  3. Ensuring a proper bite that supports clear speech and easy breathing
  4. Making oral hygiene easier to reduce the risk of decay or tooth loss
  5. Preventing future dental issues that could lead to costly treatments

With extensive training in the science and design behind Invisalign technology, we’re able to meet all five of these goals in most cases — even in complex situations where many patients believed braces were their only option.

How does Invisalign Teen Work?

Invisalign Teen is designed specifically for teenagers and uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently move their teeth into the right position. Each aligner is custom-made using advanced 3D imaging technology for a precise fit. Teens typically wear each set for about two weeks, and with every new aligner, their smile progresses closer to the final result — straight, confident, and healthy.

How long does treatment with Invisalign Teen typically take?

The length of Invisalign Teen treatment depends on the complexity of your teen’s case and how their teeth respond to the aligners. On average, most teens complete treatment in about 12 – 18 months. During your teen’s free consultation, Dr. Hendrix will provide a personalized estimate — and we’ll continue to track their progress and adjust the plan as needed along the way.

Are Invisalign aligners really invisible, and can they be removed?

Almost! Invisalign aligners are made from clear, BPA-free plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn — most people won’t even notice your teen is wearing them. They're also fully removable, so your teen can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making it much easier to maintain good oral hygiene compared to traditional braces.

How often do I need to wear my aligners, and what happens if I lose one?

To get the best results, your teen should wear their Invisalign aligners for 20 – 22 hours a day — only taking them out to eat, brush, and floss. If an aligner is lost, don’t worry — just contact Hendrix Orthodontics right away. In many cases, a previous or next set can be worn while we guide you on the best next steps or arrange a replacement if needed.

What are the main benefits of Invisalign Teen compared to traditional braces?

Invisalign Teen offers several key advantages that many parents and teens appreciate:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: The clear aligners are barely noticeable, making them a more discreet option than metal braces
  • Comfort: Made from smooth plastic, the aligners are gentle on cheeks and gums — no poking wires or sharp brackets
  • Convenience: Since aligners are removable, teens can eat what they love and maintain their brushing and flossing routines with ease
  • Activity-Friendly: With no brackets or wires, Invisalign is often more comfortable for playing sports or instruments, and there's less risk of mouth injuries

Between school, sports, clubs, friends, and family time, today’s teens are busier than ever. That’s why Invisalign Teen aligners are such a great fit — they’re discreet, comfortable, and removable. That means fewer food restrictions than braces: just take out your aligners, enjoy your favorite meals, brush and floss as usual, then pop them back in and let them keep working.

At Hendrix Orthodontics, we customize each Invisalign plan to support healthy, confident smiles. Thanks to our experience with this advanced technology, we’re often able to treat a wide range of bite and alignment issues — sometimes in less time than traditional braces would require.

One of the great things about Invisalign Teen is how quickly it gets everyone on the same page — teens appreciate the flexibility and comfort, while parents love the convenience and results. Whether you’re a parent exploring options or a teen trying to make your case, here are four reasons families at Hendrix Orthodontics choose Invisalign:

  1. Invisalign Teen costs about the same as braces.
    We believe every teen deserves to smile with confidence — and if Invisalign Teen is the right fit, there’s no reason it should cost more. Our goal is to make treatment as efficient and affordable as possible.

  2. Fewer, shorter visits.
    Without wires or brackets to adjust, appointments are quick and easy. Plus, with our advanced remote care option through a user-friendly app, you may need even fewer in-person visits — all at no additional cost.

  3. No emergency repair appointments.
    Since there are no brackets to break or wires to poke, unexpected visits are a thing of the past.

  4. Oral hygiene stays simple.
    Because aligners are removable, brushing and flossing is easy — no major changes to your routine, just pop them out, clean your teeth, and pop them back in.

  5. Built-in wear indicators for peace of mind.
    Invisalign Teen aligners come with small blue dots that fade with consistent wear, helping parents and our team ensure they’re being worn as directed — no guesswork needed.

Invisalign treatment keeps life moving while working behind the scenes to create a healthy, confident smile.
