Invisalign® for Teens

Get the power of Invisalign’s clear aligners for your teen. Invisalign for Teens lets your child achieve a confident smile using a patented system of clear aligners. We’re helping teens all over the Jacksonville and Nocatee/Ponte Vedra area smile their brightest.

What is Invisalign for Teens?

Invisalign for Teens is a breakthrough in corrective orthodontics for adolescents. You don’t need to rely on the metal bands, wires, and brackets that traditional braces use. Each aligner is custom-fit to correct your teen’s alignment, so you also don’t have to worry about effective treatment.

By wearing the Invisalign for Teens system 20-22 hours a day, their teeth will gradually reposition into a healthy smile. Every seven to ten days, replace the aligner with a fresh one. Some patients see noticeable differences within six weeks of starting treatment.

Dr Lazzara has treated well over a thousand patients in the Jacksonville Beach and Nocatee area with Invisalign — you can trust him to improve your teen’s alignment.

How Invisalign for Teens Treatment Works

Before recommending Invisalign, we make sure your teen is the right candidate. During our initial assessment, our Jacksonville Beach orthodontist will get to know them, ask them questions, and discover the underlying source of their misalignment.

After undergoing the initial assessment, we scan your teen’s teeth with a high-tech impressionless digital scanner. This scanner gives us a better understanding of your teenager’s alignment issues.
We use this data — in conjunction with the data from thousands of other successful Invisalign users — to devise an alignment plan for your teen.

Once we’ve completed this step, we’ll outfit you with your aligners. You’ll leave our office with your custom aligners ready to go in your hand. Your new Invisalign system works by incrementally shifting teeth over time with new aligners.

If your teen has complex bite problems, jaw abnormalities, or other complications that go beyond a routine adjustment, we will recommend a different option for them, such as ceramic Clarity ADVANCED braces and traditional braces. No matter what, we’re confident in our ability to deliver stellar results.

Invisalign For Teens Lets Your Teen Focus on What Matters

The middle school and high school years are one of the most challenging and meaningful intervals in a person’s life. Invisalign for Teens lets your loved ones experience more joy out of their best years.

Invisalign for Teens system is almost unnoticeable, and fits perfectly into any teens busy lifestyle. Your teen will be able to capture all of their treasured milestones without worrying about how their mouth looks. They won’t have to put their life on pause for all of those selfies and snapshots during prom, graduation, and other fun experiences.

But Invisalign’s benefits don’t stop there.

Easy Brushing

Since the aligners can be removed from their mouth quickly, it’s a snap to clean your teeth between appointments.

Less Visits

They only need to come in for occasional check-ups for your alignment every 10-15 weeks.

Shorter Appointments

With Invisalign, you won’t need to plan for long adjustment times. Instead, you will come in for brief appointments.

Flexible Lifestyle

Invisalign doesn’t use brackets or wire components, so you can eat whatever you want and not have to worry about costly emergency appointments.

While a beautiful smile is a great gift, we know it can’t cure everything about being a teenager. But your teen’s self-esteem can change dramatically with the poise of a full and natural smile.

Lazzara Orthodontics Beats SmileDirectClub and Similar Teledentistry Services

 While a lot of websites promise no-hassle self-supervised alignments, they cannot provide a high level of personalized care that you get from an orthodontist.

A person’s smile is something that lasts forever. Trusting your orthodontic care to someone you don’t have a personal relationship with is unwise and reckless. Ultimately these companies are selling a product, not a service. They do not offer alternative options, and they have no incentive to tell you if a treatment isn’t right for you because they’re solely worried about protecting the bottom line.

Without proper supervision, the results of aligners are mixed at best. An orthodontist helps guide your treatment. Many people who use teledentistry end up spending a lot of money that they can’t get back. Put flatly: the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Trusting an-in person orthodontist to guide your treatment will ensure that you get the benefit of long-lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions about Invisalign® for Teens in Jacksonville Beach, FL

Invisalign teen aligners use a series of clear, removable trays that gradually shift your teen’s teeth into proper alignment. Each set is worn for 20 to 22 hours a day and replaced every 7 to 10 days. Unlike traditional braces, they don’t use brackets or wires, allowing teens to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy more flexibility. The result is straighter teeth with less disruption to their everyday lives and milestones.

Invisalign clear aligners are a great orthodontic treatment for teens because they combine effectiveness with convenience. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and can be easily removed, making it easier for teens to maintain good oral hygiene and eat freely. This discreet approach to orthodontics also supports teens’ self-confidence during important social events like prom and graduation while effectively addressing crooked teeth and alignment issues.

Yes, there are key differences. Invisalign teen aligners are clear, removable, and customized for comfort, making them less noticeable and more lifestyle-friendly than traditional metal braces. Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires, which can be harder to clean and sometimes uncomfortable. With Invisalign, teens can avoid the dietary restrictions and frequent adjustments that come with traditional braces while still receiving effective orthodontic treatment.

Yes, Invisalign treatment can support efforts to prevent tooth decay. Since Invisalign aligners are removable, teens can brush and floss their teeth more thoroughly than with traditional braces, helping to maintain good oral hygiene. This ease of cleaning reduces the risk of food getting trapped and plaque building up, which can lead to tooth decay and gum issues. Regular oral care alongside Invisalign aligners makes dental health more manageable for teens.

Choosing an in-person orthodontist for your teen’s Invisalign treatment ensures they receive customized, hands-on care. Unlike mail-order aligners, which lack professional supervision, an orthodontist will monitor progress, make adjustments, and offer alternative treatments if needed. Teens wear Invisalign under expert guidance, which helps ensure effective, long-lasting results. This personal attention greatly reduces the risk of complications that could lead to poor outcomes or additional costs later on.
