Invisalign for teenagers

[Hanson]

Hi.

My teenage daughter desperately wants her teeth straightened, but I am not sure that she will wear the invisalign trays all the time like she is supposed to do. What can be done to ensure that she actually wears the invisalign trays like she is supposed to?

Invisalign has considered this problem with teenage patients and they provide this product called Invisalign Teen. All the aligners are provided with some compliance indicators which are blue at the beginning of the treatment and they gradually go lighter as the aligners are worn, so after 2 weeks of wearing them constantly the indicators look transparent. This is how we check the compliance.
