Invisalign® Teen in Dunmore & Northeastern Pennsylvania
Clear Aligners Made for Teenagers
Your teen’s smile matters to them—probably more than they let on. And if the thought of traditional braces is making them hesitant about treatment, Invisalign Teen may be an option worth exploring.
At Runco Perih Orthodontics, Dr. Runco and Dr. Perih are among the top 1% of Invisalign providers nationally. Their experience with clear aligner treatment allows them to determine when Invisalign Teen is the right solution—and when another treatment option may provide a better result. Invisalign Teen uses a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners to straighten teeth without brackets or wires. The trays are removable, nearly invisible, and designed specifically around the realities of a teenager’s life.
Your complimentary consultation is the first step toward understanding your options. We’ll evaluate your teen’s smile, walk you through the process, and let you know if Invisalign Teen is the right fit.
How Invisalign Teen Works
Invisalign Teen uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually move teeth into position. Each aligner is created using Invisalign's SmartTrack material and is worn for about one week before moving to the next in the series.
One of the features parents love: each aligner has a small blue compliance dot. It starts bright blue and fades to clear over time with wear. It’s a simple, honest way to see whether your teen is wearing their aligners as prescribed, giving parents peace of mind while helping teens stay accountable throughout treatment.

Invisalign Teen FAQ
For most teenagers, yes. Invisalign Teen can treat the same range of crowding, spacing, and bite issues that braces address. The key is compliance: aligners need to be worn at least 22 hours a day to achieve the results we plan for. Our virtual care program and the built-in compliance indicator help keep teens on track.
