Invisalign Teen is the version of Invisalign designed specifically for adolescents, with blue compliance indicators that gradually fade with wear and eruption tabs that accommodate still-erupting permanent teeth. At Clinica Crocetta in Milan, Invisalign Teen is delivered by Diamond II + Apex 2026 providers in English.
What makes Invisalign Teen different
Three teen-specific features: blue compliance indicators on each aligner that fade as the device is worn (so parents and orthodontist can verify wear time); eruption tabs that allow space for still-erupting second molars and canines; and a programme that includes replacement aligners in case of loss — common with teens.
Daily life with Invisalign Teen
22 hours per day of wear, removed for meals and tooth brushing. No food restrictions (unlike braces — no breakage from hard or sticky foods). Sports and musical instruments practised normally; removable for important social moments if needed. Hygiene is easier than with fixed braces because the aligner is removed for brushing and flossing.
Compliance: the real key
Invisalign Teen works as well as braces when worn consistently. The compliance indicators give a clear, visual measure of wear time. Most teenagers adapt quickly and appreciate the discretion. Honest assessment of motivation is part of the orthodontist’s case-selection discussion with the family.

Laura B. · Invisalign Teen · 16 months · ★★★★★
My daughter did Invisalign Teen with Dr. Lombardo. Outstanding result and she was thrilled not to have to wear metal braces. Always clear communication, instalment payments, punctual check-ups every 6 weeks. For us it’s the best orthodontic practice in Milan.
Marco C. · Invisalign i7 · 5 months · ★★★★★
I had a relapse after the braces I wore as a teenager. With the Invisalign i7 package I fixed it in 5 months at a fair price. No one at work noticed the aligners — truly invisible. The iTero scan at the first visit is impressive: you immediately see the simulated final result in 3D. Highly recommended.
Francesca T. · Invisalign Full · 12 months · ★★★★★
I was sceptical about Invisalign for a complex adult case, but Dr. Lombardo followed me brilliantly. After 12 months I have the smile I always wanted. I appreciate that they use 3D CT scans and not just intraoral scans — you can tell it’s a serious centre. The best dental experience I’ve had in Milan.
