Ewan – Invisalign For Teenagers Case Study

With Ewan’s passion for the stage he didn’t feel metal fixed braces would be suitable for him and wanted a more discreet way of straightening teeth – Invisalign Teen was a great option for him.

Invisalign in Reading is the best choice for straightening the crooked teeth of teenagers as they are designed to accommodate growing mouths; it is the perfect teeth straightening system for the teenagers of today.

Invisalign Teen aligners are specifically suited for teenagers, as they still have teeth growing. It is different to the usual Invisalign system as Invisalign Teen has special eruption tabs that allows erupting molars to be guided into the perfect position (to avoid further alignment issues), and they also have blue dot compliance indicators to remind the patient to change aligners.

How does Invisalign for teens work?

If you’re wondering how the Invisalign Teen treatment works, allow us to tell you. As opposed to wires and brackets, the procedure uses clear aligners that are barely noticeable.

Your teenager will then simply wear them over their teeth, changing them with a new set of aligners every fortnight or so. The idea is that, over time, their teeth will gradually move into place, to help them achieve a straighter smile.

What Our Patients Say

I highly recommend Reading Smiles Dental Practice. From the moment you walk in, the entire team is incredibly welcoming and friendly, immediately putting you at ease. A special shout out to both Ana and Mario who go above and beyond, to make every visit a pleasure. Dr Krupesh Patel is an absolute asset to the practice and truly an artist at what he does. He is considerate, gentle, and remarkably patient. He always takes the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process and answers all questions with genuine care, ensuring you always feel comfortable. His skills in cosmetic dentistry are superb. Dr Krupesh has a fantastic eye for what suits your face naturally, and his work is precise and particular. It is clear he always has the patient’s best interest at heart. I recently finished my Invisalign treatment here and followed it up with a small amount of composite bonding to even out the edges of my front teeth. I am really happy with the results. Also a special mention to Nurse Huma, an important member of the team quietly and competently working in the background - thank you! If you are looking for top-tier dental care and a team that genuinely cares about your dental health look no further. For general, cosmetic and every specialist branch of dentistry, superb hygienists, wonderful nurses and a fantastic front of house team, you'll find it all at Reading Smiles One practical thing for future patients to note: the practice occupies the 1st and 2nd floors of the property, meaning it can only be accessed via a long flight of stairs immediately beyond the front door.

Firyuza Nafasova
For over two years, Davut and I have sincerely appreciated the exceptional dental care, professionalism, and expertise of Dr Francisco Amorim. His kindness, dedication, and attention to detail have consistently made Davut feel comfortable and given me complete confidence as his mother. What makes our experience particularly meaningful is the genuine care and trust he has built over the years, which inspired Davut to develop a real passion for dentistry. We are both deeply grateful for his outstanding treatment and the lasting positive impact he has had on us. Highly recommended!

I went in for a consultation on composite bonding of my front teeth. Dr Ajay was excellent and explained step by step how the process would work as well as ensuring my comfort and understanding was met. I especially liked the consistency of ensuring I understood each step and why we needed it to maintain the health of the teeth to get the best results. The results are amazing and natural looking. They even fitted me in when I required a very minor filing of the teeth bonding. The reception team friendly and informative. Highly recommend and prices not too expensive.
Alma Dubrovske
Joanna performed a tooth extraction on my daughter yesterday. She was very professional and reassuring as my daughter (14 years old) was a bit nervous. The extraction site healed well, with hardly any discomfort or bleeding. Would highly recommend her to anyone, especially with younger children.
Fatima
very quiet and relaxing place, dentist there and receptionist + nurses are absolutely lovely and patient!
Erin
Had plenty of great experiences at Reading Smiles. In my previous treatment, Dr Philo and Daisy were both so kind and welcoming, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my treatment. They communicated everything really clearly and kept me informed the whole way through, which I really appreciated. Both were so friendly and professional, and I felt really well looked after. Thank you both!
Mario Casha
Smile in Reading provided exceptional care and professionalism during my recent tooth extraction. The entire team displayed remarkable compassion and coordination from the moment I arrived until the end of my procedure. Mario, in particular, stood out as an outstanding individual who truly made a difference on a challenging day. They took the time to consider my health conditions, which made me feel genuinely cared for. Every team member, from the reception staff to the final procedure, contributed to delivering seamless and high-quality care. Dr. Johanna’s care was truly exceptional, and I felt completely at ease throughout the process. I highly recommend Smile to anyone seeking top-tier dental care supported by a kind and cohesive team. They truly go above and beyond to ensure patient satisfaction. A big thank you, during a difficult time.

I am so glad I found Reading Smiles! I’ve been seeing Dr Mo for the past three years and couldn’t recommend him highly enough. I have been consistently impressed with the level of care I receive.
Caron Walker
Dr Sham is absolutely lovely! She really listened to my concerns and talked me through the best options, allowing me to decide what felt right. My teeth look amazing, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I’ll definitely be showing off my bright new smile at my daughter’s upcoming wedding. Thank you, Dr Sham! 😁
Josh Chick
I had to book an emergency appointment as the wire on my brace was too long and causing some discomfort. I was really pleased to be offered an appointment on the very same day. Ajay was fantastic, friendly, efficient and professional. Although it was a relatively quick fix, he made the whole experience quick and easy. Thanks, Ajay!
Ben Mitchell
I chose Reading Smiles for my Invisalign treatment because: Dr Sami is professional, reassuring and attentive. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and has answered all my questions with honesty. Harriet, the treatment coordinator, has been incredible. Her frequent touch points are always friendly and helpful. she has been supportive and engaging from the start. The care and professionalism at Reading Smiles is exceptional!
ioan florin Zabava
After giving 3 stars for the cleaning of my teeth, today I was having a wisdom tooth removal and I just need it to come back to this review to make it 5 because doctor Johana Zibova was exeding my expectations on how nice, professional, patient and being 100% shore that i won't feel the pain or uncomfortable with the procedure. Again, like I've said on my previous review, very clean, very professional all stuff and least but not last, they have in my opinion very very good prices. Just to get an ideea, what it costed me on them 270£, on another clinic they request 675£. I will let you judge if this clinic have good prices or not. Again, thank you very much guys but especially doctor Johana Zibova.
Alex Phillip
Huge thank you to Dr Sonam! Excellent treatment throughout and I’m so happy with the final results of my Invisalign 😊

Dr Dhillon is fantastic and my entire invisalign experience was super smooth. Couldn’t be happier with the result
Cal
I had an amazing experience at my hygiene appointment today. Dayle and Kalpae were absolutely lovely and made the whole appointment feel comfortable and easy. Ana and Mavara on reception were also so friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment I arrived. Such a lovely team and a really positive experience overall. Thank you all!
Megan Shuttleworth
I started my Invisalign journey just under a year ago and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dr Yousif and Revu were amazing, they made me feel comfortable and well informed throughout the process. Dr Yousif’s experience with Invisalign made me feel more comfortable during my treatment since he had extensive knowledge and patiently answered my many questions. The receptionist team were always lovely and welcoming, especially Imogen who helped me to get started at the beginning of my journey. All in all a great experience and I am very happy with the final result!

Invisalign For Teenagers

Teenagers today have such busy lives that include school, sports, and socialising; so getting metal braces is probably not at the top of their list of favourite things to do.

But they can get their crooked teeth fixed in a discreet way and without the need for metal wires and brackets; with Invisalign Teen, which is Invisalign clear braces but specifically for teenagers.

Invisalign Teen Braces

Invisalign Teen clear braces straighten their teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customised, removable appliances called aligners.

It’s virtually undetectable, which means teenagers can straighten their teeth without anyone noticing much. They can still eat and drink what they want.

Also, they can brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth, and there are no metal wires or brackets to cause mouth abrasions. They’re free to enjoy the things that make their teenage years the best times of their life.

A Relaxing Ambience

There is no need for your child to feel nervous about the procedure, either.

Our skilled and friendly team will make them feel relaxed as soon as they walk into our practice – and if they have any queries, they will get all the answers they need.

Get in touch with our team if you have any questions at all and we’d be more than happy to answer them.

FAQ’s

What is Invisalign for teenagers?

Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teenager’s teeth without the restrictions that come with metal braces.

Instead of metal wires and brackets, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that have been custom-made for your teenager’s teeth.

They only need to be removed when they eat, drink, brush and floss.

Your teenager will simply wear them over their teeth at all other times, and every two weeks will change them for a new set of aligners.

Gradually the teeth will shift into place, achieving a confident new smile for your teenager.

The practical advantages over traditional braces?

With Invisalign the aligners are removable, so your teenager can play sports without the worry of being hit in the mouth by a ball, which can cause real damage to metal braces.

They can also continue to play their musical instruments after removing their aligners (unlike with metal braces where they may get in the way).

With metal braces, there is a long list of foods that can’t be eaten, from popcorn to apples and raw carrots.

The great news is there are no restrictions with Invisalign.

The removable aligners make it easy to brush and floss like you normally would to maintain good oral hygiene.

What teeth conditions does Invisalign treat?

Invisalign can be as effective as traditional metal braces for the most common teeth straightening issues.

Invisalign can effectively treat mild to severe orthodontic conditions cases, including underbite, overbite, overcrowding and gaps between teeth.

The chances of your teenager being a great candidate for Invisalign are very high, but to be sure please book a free consultation first.
