Invisalign® Clear Aligners for Kids & Teens in Parker, CO
A+ A- A Main ContentInvisalign® clear aligners offer children and teens a removable and less noticeable way to straighten teeth without traditional brackets and wires. Instead of fixed braces, Invisalign® treatment uses a customized series of clear aligners that gradually guide the teeth toward their planned positions.
At Little Rockies Kids Dental, we offer Invisalign® clear aligners in Parker, CO for appropriate children and teens as part of our pediatric orthodontic services.
Because the aligners are removable, patients can take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing. Successful treatment, however, depends on wearing the aligners consistently and following the treatment plan provided by the orthodontic team.
Not every child or teenager needs the same type of orthodontic treatment. Our orthodontic provider can evaluate your child’s teeth, bite, dental development, and treatment goals and explain whether Invisalign®, traditional braces, clear ceramic braces, or another orthodontic option may be appropriate.
A Clear, Removable Approach to Orthodontic Treatment
Invisalign® uses a customized series of clear aligners to gradually move teeth while allowing patients to remove the appliance for meals and daily oral hygiene.
How Invisalign® Clear Aligners Work
Invisalign® treatment uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners designed to fit over the teeth. Each aligner is created as part of an individualized treatment plan and applies controlled pressure to gradually guide specific teeth toward their planned positions.
As treatment progresses, your child or teen changes to the next aligner in the series according to the schedule provided by the orthodontic team.
The aligners are removable, but they need to be worn consistently for treatment to progress as planned. Invisalign® generally recommends wearing clear aligners for approximately 20 to 22 hours each day unless your provider gives different instructions.
Scheduled orthodontic visits allow our provider to monitor tooth movement, evaluate progress, and make changes to the treatment plan when necessary.
Who May Be a Candidate for Invisalign®?
Clear aligners may be an orthodontic option for children and teens with certain tooth and bite alignment concerns.
Depending on the individual treatment plan, Invisalign® may be considered for concerns involving:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Crooked or rotated teeth
- Spacing or gaps between teeth
- Certain overbites or underbites
- Some crossbites
- Other tooth alignment concerns
Clear aligners are not the best treatment for every orthodontic condition. The complexity of the tooth movement, bite relationship, stage of dental development, and a patient's ability to wear the aligners consistently can all influence whether Invisalign® is appropriate.
An orthodontic evaluation allows us to determine which treatment approach provides the appropriate control for your child's developing smile.
Invisalign® for Teens in Parker
For teenagers who qualify for clear aligner treatment, Invisalign® can provide an orthodontic option that fits naturally into school, sports, activities, and social events.
Because the aligners are clear, they are less noticeable than traditional metal braces. They can also be removed for meals, brushing, and flossing, allowing teens to continue their normal oral hygiene routine without cleaning around brackets and wires.
The removable design also requires responsibility. Teens need to wear their aligners for the recommended amount of time each day, keep track of them when they are removed, and follow the schedule for changing aligners.
For a motivated teenager who is an appropriate candidate, clear aligners may provide an effective alternative to fixed braces.
Invisalign® vs. Traditional Braces
Invisalign® clear aligners and traditional braces can both be used to gradually reposition teeth, but the two treatments work in different ways.
- Invisalign® clear aligners are removable trays that fit over the teeth and are changed throughout treatment.
- Traditional braces use brackets attached to the teeth and an orthodontic archwire that remains in place throughout active treatment.
Clear aligners can be removed for meals and oral hygiene and are less noticeable when worn. Traditional braces remain attached to the teeth, which means treatment does not depend on remembering to wear the appliance each day.
One option is not automatically better for every patient. The most appropriate treatment depends on the type and complexity of tooth movement required, bite concerns, dental development, and the patient's ability to follow the treatment plan. Our orthodontic provider will evaluate the best option for your child.
What to Expect With Invisalign® Treatment
Your child's Invisalign® treatment begins with an orthodontic evaluation and treatment plan. If clear aligners are appropriate, a customized series of aligners is created to guide the planned tooth movements.
Each aligner is worn according to the schedule provided by the orthodontic team before moving to the next aligner in the series. Patients return for periodic visits so our provider can evaluate their progress and confirm that treatment is moving according to plan.
Some temporary pressure or tenderness may occur when a new aligner is placed as the teeth begin responding to the appliance. This experience varies from patient to patient.

Frequently Asked Questions About Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Invisalign® clear aligners are generally worn for approximately 20 to 22 hours each day, although your child's orthodontic provider will give specific instructions based on the treatment plan. Consistent wear is important because the aligners can only move the teeth while they are being worn.
