What is the difference between the adult Invisalign appliance  and the Invisalign teen appliance?

How will I know how often my child is wearing his aligners?

            Should this occur, simply inform your child's doctor right away. The Doctor may tell your child to start wearing her previous set, or the next set of aligners immediately.

How much time will my child spend at the orthodontist's office?

            Invisalign requires very little manipulation or maintenance by the doctor in order to be effective, so your child will spend limited time visiting the office. Better yet, no "emergency" visits for broken or loose brackets and wires.
