About Dr Katerina Rousea
How does Invisalign Teen work?
Invisalign Teen uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gently move your teeth into new positions to transform your smile.
Initial Consultation
At your initial appointment, we will examine your teeth and take 3D scans and images to ensure your aligners have a precise and accurate fit. We can even use the latest digital technology to show you a preview of how your smile will look following treatment!
ClinCheck & Treatment Plan
The scans and images taken of your teeth are used to create your bespoke treatment plan. Using innovative ClinCheck software, we can show you step by step how your teeth will move position as you wear your aligners.
Gradual Straightening
You will need to wear each aligner in the series for 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next one. As you wear each aligner in the series, your teeth move little by little until your new dream smile is created. The aligners control the amount and timing of movement based on your bespoke treatment plan, ensuring that each stage of treatment goes smoothly. We keep a close eye on your progress at your 6-8 weekly appointments, making small adjustments if necessary to ensure an incredible outcome.
Smile!
Once you have worn your last aligner, treatment is complete, and you can get ready to show off your new straight smile! We will give you a final retainer to keep your teeth in their new positions for the long term.

Frequently asked questions
- How long does Invisalign Teen treatment take?
- Treatment length varies from person to person, but most Invisalign treatments are completed within 9-18 months. Simple cases have a faster treatment time, while patients needing more complex straightening can expect to wear their aligners for longer. Once you have had your initial consultation, we can advise you of your expected treatment length.
- Will Invisalign Teen affect my speech?
- You may find it takes a few days to get used to the aligners, and may have a slight lisp at first, but you should be talking clearly and confidently before long.
- Are there any restrictions on what I can eat or drink while using Invisalign Teen?
- It is advised that you mainly drink water while wearing your aligners, as darker liquids like tea and coffee can causing staining. It is also advised to remove your aligners before eating anything or chewing gum, the aligners are durable, but you wouldn’t want to risk breaking them! Make sure you brush your teeth after eating, before putting your aligners back in. Bacteria and plaque form on your teeth quickly after a meal – so getting rid of them right away will keep both your teeth and aligners clean.
- What should I do if I lose an aligner?
- If you lose one of your aligners, please contact us as soon as possible for further advice. With Invisalign Teen, you get six complimentary aligners in case of loss, as we understand that it may be easy to misplace an aligner during the busy school day. In the meantime, you can wear an aligner from your previous set to prevent your teeth from moving too far out of line.
- Is Invisalign as effective as traditional braces?
- Yes. When worn according to the recommendations of an experienced Invisalign-trained orthodontist, Invisalign Teen can be as effective as traditional braces for the most common teeth-straightening issues. Invisalign can effectively treat mild to severe cases, including underbite, overbite, overcrowding and gaps between teeth. The chances are very high that your teen will be a great candidate for Invisalign. To find out for sure, contact the clinic and come in for a consultation.
- Who is eligible for Invisalign Teen?
- Invisalign can be used for teens who have erupting or erupted permanent dentition—this includes most teenagers. A trained Invisalign orthodontist should evaluate your teen’s specific dental issues to determine candidacy. If the orthodontist rejects your teen as a candidate, it is advisable to seek a second opinion, as each provider has a different level of experience treating with Invisalign.
