Invisalign for Teens at Allure
The teenage years bring exams, social occasions and plenty of photographs, which is why so many parents and teenagers ask about a straightening option that’s less visible than traditional metal braces. Dr Monica Pais offers Invisalign Teen at Allure Face & Smile in Weybridge, ideal for teenage orthodontic needs.
Straightening that fits around school and social life
Invisalign Teen
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners made from a detailed iTero 3D scan, with no metal brackets or wires. Because the aligners come out, your teenager can:
-
Eat what they like, without the food restrictions of fixed braces
-
Take them out for contact sports or musical instruments
-
Keep brushing and flossing as normal
Aligners can address many of the same issues as braces, including crowding, spacing and certain bite problems. Some more complex movements are better suited to fixed braces, and Dr Pais will tell you honestly which applies.
Assessing what your teenager actually needs
Aligners aren’t the right choice for every case. With over 20 years’ experience in orthodontics, Dr Pais assesses your teenager’s teeth, bite and jaw, then gives you a clear recommendation based on what she finds, rather than on which treatment is simplest to offer.
Keeping the result
Retention matters as much as the straightening.
Once active treatment is complete, fixed retainers and Vivera removable retainers help keep your teenager’s teeth in their new position.
Dr Pais reviews progress regularly throughout treatment, adjusting the plan where needed.

Frequently asked questions
1. How is Invisalign Teen different from adult Invisalign?
It’s the same clear aligner technology used for adults, though treatment planning takes into account a teenager’s developing mouth and any teeth still coming through.
2. Is the Invisalign consultation really free for teens?
Yes — consultations at Allure, including a 3D scan for Invisalign enquiries, are complimentary and without obligation.
3. Will my teenager need to wear a retainer afterwards?
Retention is an important part of any orthodontic treatment. Every package includes fixed and Vivera removable retainers, and Dr Pais will explain why ongoing wear matters for keeping teeth in their new position.
4. Can my teenager play sport or musical instruments while wearing aligners?
Aligners are removable, so your teenager can take them out for contact sports or instruments that require it. Dr Pais can advise on protecting both the aligners and your teenager’s teeth during these activities.
5. What happens if my teenager doesn’t wear their aligners enough?
Treatment relies on aligners being worn for the recommended hours each day. If wear time falls short, treatment may take longer or the plan may need adjusting, so we monitor progress closely at review appointments.
6. Is Invisalign noticeable?
The aligners are clear and fit closely over the teeth, making them considerably less noticeable than traditional metal braces, though as with any clear aligner, they aren’t completely invisible.
7. Does the package include whitening and an X-ray?
Yes — every Invisalign package at Allure includes teeth whitening and an X-ray (OPG) as standard, alongside retainers to protect the result.
8. What if Invisalign isn’t suitable for my teenager?
If, after assessment, Dr Pais feels Invisalign isn’t the right option, she’ll explain why and discuss suitable alternatives, so you can make an informed decision together.
