Clear aligner treatment for teens
Traditionally, braces were the only option available to teens. Modern technology has introduced wider choices, including clear aligners that straighten teeth without the discomfort, restrictions or self-consciousness that metal braces can bring.
Active Aligners Teen suits teens with fully erupted permanent dentition, meaning no primary or still-erupting teeth.

The benefits
The benefits of Active Aligners Teen
Discreet for confidence
The look of metal braces causes many teens anxiety, so they avoid straightening their teeth altogether. Active Aligners Teen are virtually invisible, a discreet, comfortable way to the confident smile they want.
Straight smiles, healthy smiles
Aligners are removed when eating, drinking or brushing, which quickly becomes second nature and fosters good oral hygiene habits. Cleaning around the fixed wires and brackets of traditional braces is far more of a challenge.
Efficient and convenient
Active Aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours every day to avoid extending treatment and ensure the best outcome. Teens generally need around 6 months, with more complex cases taking up to a year.
Minimal discomfort
Active Aligners are made from medical-grade thermoplastic and worn two weeks at a time, gently moving teeth in small increments. Traditional metal wires and brackets can irritate cheeks and exert greater force at each adjustment, which may cause more discomfort.
Predetermined smile results
Providers conduct a comprehensive dental exam, gathering data for diagnosis and to confirm candidacy. CAD software builds a personalised treatment plan following the treating doctor instructions, detailing each step and showing the expected result.
Unrestrictive daily living
The perfect solution for teens and busy parents. Aligner treatment needs fewer dental visits than braces, with less time lost at work and school. Teens who play instruments or contact sports, enjoy crunchy foods, or feel anxious about braces can take on their smile journey with confidence.
Health for life
More than a straight smile
Straight teeth are about more than aesthetics. Active Aligners Teen also supports long-term dental health.
Cleaner, healthier teeth
Aligned teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing cavities, plaque and gum concerns.
Healthier gums
Proper alignment helps gums fit snugly around teeth, supporting long-term stability.
Balanced bite, less wear
Correct alignment prevents excessive tooth wear, chipping or jaw strain.
Improved speech and function
Proper tooth position may help improve clarity and comfort in speech.
Prevents future problems
Addressing alignment early helps prevent complications in adulthood, from TMJ issues to premature tooth wear.
Parents value these benefits as much as the cosmetic ones. Aligners are a long-term health investment.
No compromise
Sports, music and school life

- Sports. Remove the aligners or wear a mouthguard over them.

Aligners help your teen stay active, confident and comfortable throughout treatment.
Good to know
The right treatment for every teen
Active Aligners Teen can treat many cases, including crowding, spacing, rotations and some bite concerns. Suitability depends on your teen’s teeth, bite and stage of development.
Examples of exceptions are in cases where an aligner physically cannot engage a tooth, such as with a high, partially erupted canine or a deeply impacted tooth.
Your Active Aligners dentist will assess their smile and recommend the most appropriate treatment. If specialist orthodontic care would be a better fit, your dentist will explain why and guide the referral, so your teen remains on the right path from the start.
