Clear aligners for teens in Nashua, NH

Clear aligners let teens straighten their teeth with removable, nearly invisible trays instead of metal braces. They fit around school, sports, music, and photos, with a plan built around each teen's growing smile.

Built around your teen

Clear aligners for teens work the same way they do for adults. Custom clear trays gradually move the teeth with each new set. We choose the aligner system that fits your teen's case, including how far along their permanent teeth and molars are. Because the trays are smooth plastic with no wires, they're comfortable and less likely to cause mouth injuries during sports.

Is my teen a good candidate?

Clear aligners can treat crowding, gaps, and many bite problems. The most important factor is responsibility. Aligners only work when they're worn about 20 to 22 hours a day and kept safe in their case during meals. Teens who are motivated and organized tend to do very well. Teens who are likely to forget or lose trays, or who have certain complex bites, may do better with braces. We'll evaluate your teen's teeth and talk openly with both of you.

What parents should know

Treatment begins with a digital scan and a 3D plan that shows how the teeth will move. Teens visit every several weeks so we can check progress, confirm the aligners are fitting and tracking as planned, and provide new sets. There are no food restrictions, since aligners come out to eat, but teens need to brush before putting them back in. Lost or broken aligners should be reported right away so treatment stays on track. After treatment, a retainer helps keep the new smile in place.

Frequently asked questions

Aligners are usually started once most permanent teeth have come in, often around ages 11 to 14. Some younger children benefit from early orthodontic evaluation for jaw growth or bite issues. We'll look at your child's development and recommend the right timing.
Call us. Depending on where they are in treatment, we may have them move to the next set early, return to the previous set, or order a replacement. Keeping aligners in their case whenever they're out of the mouth, and never wrapping them in a napkin, prevents most losses.
Yes. For contact sports, teens should remove their aligners and wear a mouth guard, then put the aligners back in afterward. Many wind and brass players adjust within a few days. Because there are no brackets, there's less risk of cuts to the lips and cheeks.
