Invisalign created a system that meets the unique needs of teens. At your initial consultation, Dr. Albaugh will determine if Invisalign for Teens is the best option for your unique smile.

Almost Invisible

The Invisalign for Teens aligners in Vista, CA are made of clear plastic and are almost invisible. Your friends probably won’t even know you’re wearing them. Instead of hiding behind a mouth full of metal, The Smile Patio Orthodontics Invisalign patients enjoy the confidence of showing off their smiles every day.

You probably have friends with braces who aren’t allowed to chew gum or eat certain foods like popcorn and whole apples. With Invisalign for Teens, the aligners are completely removable, so you can eat all of your favorite foods whenever you want.

This also means you can easily keep brushing and flossing as you normally would for proper oral hygiene. Try that with braces.

If you play sports or a musical instrument, traditional braces can get in your way. It’s hard to perform at your best knowing you could get hit in the mouth with a ball, or cut your lip trying to hit that note on the trumpet!

Vista Invisalign for Teens helps you focus on doing what you do best being a teen. At your initial consultation with Dr. Albaugh, you’ll find out if Invisalign is a good fit for your smile and your lifestyle!
