A group of teen friends smiling

At the practice of Dr. Lauren Cai, we strive to provide your teen with a beautiful and confident smile! Our dedicated team of professionals can answer any questions about your teen’s orthodontic treatment and provide information to help improve his or her oral health. As experts of Invisalign Teen, we offer an effective process for straightening your child’s teeth in a virtually invisible way. These clear aligners are customized to fit each of our individual teen patients in order to comfortably shift teeth into their proper position. Despite the aesthetic appearance of a smile, correcting crooked teeth is an important part of maintaining good oral health.


The Invisalign Teen Treatment Process

If you believe Invisalign Teen might be the right fit for your child, we encourage you to make an appointment with Dr. Lauren Cai. She will evaluate each individual case and discuss if Invisalign Teen might be an ideal orthodontic treatment for your teen. We will then schedule a time to take X-rays and impressions of your teen’s mouth to insure that the aligners will fit perfectly. Our Longview & Vancouver, WA orthodontist will discuss how these clear aligners will move the teeth to their perfect location.

Invisalign Teen aligners

Once the treatment plan that Dr. Cai prepares is set, a lab will create a sets of clear aligners that is made specifically for your teen’s teeth. To make it easier to remember, the Invisalign Teen aligners have a blue dot on the side that changes color to show when they are worn out and ready to be changed. We recommend that the aligners be switched out every two weeks in order to effectively move teeth.

Throughout the treatment, your teen will need to return to our Vancouver or Longview office locations about every six weeks to check progress. It is important the aligners are worn at least 20-22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat and brush. Once treatment is complete, your teen will have the dazzling smile he or she has been dreaming of.
