Invisalign for Teens in Windham, NH
Orthodontic treatment That Fits Their Teen Years
The teenage years are full of changes, new schools, sports, dances, performances, friendships, senior pictures, college visits, and a growing sense of independence. Orthodontic treatment shouldn’t make your teen feel like they have to put life on hold.
At Windham Orthodontics, Dr. Danielle Ross works with teens and their parents to create orthodontic treatment plans that fit both the patient’s smile goals and their everyday life.
For some teens, Invisalign clear aligners can be an excellent way to straighten their teeth while allowing them to feel confident throughout treatment.
For Teens Who Want a More Discreet Smile
Let’s face it, many teenagers don’t love the idea of having braces. Invisalign aligners are clear and discreet, so your teen can smile for those selfies, give a presentation in class, play in a big game, or go to prom without traditional brackets and wires being the first thing people notice.
For teens who are especially concerned about the appearance of braces, that can make a meaningful difference in how they feel about orthodontic treatment.
A Little More Freedom. A Lot of Responsibility
One of the things teens appreciate most about Invisalign is the flexibility.
Aligners can be removed when it’s time to
- Eat lunch with friends
- Brush and floss
- Play Sports
- Perform on Stage
- Take pictures
- Attend special events
But the flexibility comes with responsibility.
Invisalign works best when teens are commited to wearing their aligners as instructed.
That’s why we talk openly with both the parents and teens about what successful treatment requires. Your teenager should understand that they have an important role in achieving their result.
For many teens, Invisalign becomes their first opportunity to take real ownership of their orthodontic treatment.
What Parents want to know
Choosing orthodontic treatment for your teenager is a big decision, that’s why parents want to know:
Will my teen actually wear the aligners?
Will Invisalign work for their particular bite?
How often will we need appointments?
What happens if an aligner is lost?
Will someone be monitoring their treatment?
These are exactly the kinds of questions we discuss during your consultation.
Dr. Ross evaluates your teen’s teeth, bite, growth, and overall orthodontic needs before recommending Invisalign. If another treatment option would provide a better or more predictable result, she’ll tell you.
Our goal is to give your teenager the right treatment!
Your Teenager Still Needs an Orthodontist
There is a big difference between ordering clear aligners and receiving orthodontic care.
At Windham Orthodontics, your teen is treated right here in our Windham office by Dr. Danielle Ross and her team!
Dr. Ross monitors how your teen’s teeth and bite are responding throughout treatment and can make changes when necessary. And because we’re a local orthodontic practice, your family has a team you can call when a question arises, not a remote customer service line,
Technology can move teeth. Experience, judgement, and personal care help guide the treatment.
Seeing is Believing
Before treatment begins we use our iTero digital scanner to create a detailed 3D image of your teens teeth.
No traditional impression material. No uncomfortable trays. The digital scan gives Dr. Ross a precise look at your teen’s teeth and bite and helps create their individualized treatment plan. It can also give your teen a visual look at the potential direction of their smile transformation. Sometimes seeing what’s possible is what makes a teenager excited about treatment.
Is Your Teen a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign can be used to treat many orthodontic concerns in teenagers including
- Crowding
- Crooked teeth
- Spacing between teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Openbite
- A variety of other orthodontic concerns
But every teenager is different.
Growth, tooth position, bite, dental development, and the ability to consistently wear the aligners all play a role in determining whether Invisalign is the right choice.
At your consultation, Dr. Ross will explain your teen’s options honestly and help your family make an informed decision.
Sometimes the best treatment is Invisalign. Sometimes it’s braces. And sometimes the best decision is to wait.

The Right Time to Start Is Different for Every Teen
There isn’t one perfect age or one perfect month to begin orthodontic treatment. Some teens are ready right away, others need to lose more baby teeth, allow growth to occur, or simply become prepared to take on the responsibility of their treatment. That’s why an orthodontic evaluation is so valuable. Dr. Ross can look at where your teen is today and help you understand what makes sense now, what can wait, and what the next step should be.
