A Confident Smile That Keeps Up With Your Teen
Between school, practice, rehearsal, and a group chat that never sleeps, your teen’s schedule is already full. The last thing they need is an orthodontic treatment that gets in the way of it.
That’s exactly why Invisalign® Teen exists. At Koh Orthodontics, Dr. Koh, Seattle’s top-tier Invisalign provider, has guided hundreds of local teens through treatment with clear, removable aligners engineered specifically for the way teenagers actually live, not the way orthodontics used to work.
The teen years are a uniquely self-aware stretch of life. School photos, first dates, spring musicals, sports team pictures- it can feel like there’s always a camera pointed at your teen, and a mouth full of metal isn’t exactly what they had in mind.
Invisalign’s own research backs up what we see every day in our North Seattle office: the majority of teens say they’d prefer a clear, virtually invisible treatment option over traditional metal braces, and Invisalign-sponsored research on teen patients has linked clear aligner treatment to a meaningful boost in self-esteem during treatment, not just after it. For image-conscious teenagers navigating an already complicated few years, that difference matters.
Top Invisalign Provider Status: Wuiteng Koh holds top-tier Invisalign provider status, a distinction earned through extensive case volume, ongoing advanced training, and a consistent record of successful outcomes, including with teen-specific cases.
30+ Years Rooted in Seattle: Koh Orthodontics has served North Seattle families for more than three decades. Dr. Koh is trusted not only by his patients, but by fellow local dentists who refer their own children to our practice.
Award-Winning, Community-Recognized Care: Our practice has been recognized by Seattle Met, The Seattle Times, ThreeBest Rated, and Best of Seattle, recognition that reflects our patients’ outcomes, not paid placement.
Single-Location, Personal Attention: We operate from one North Seattle office because we believe in doing one thing exceptionally well. Every teen patient works directly with Dr. Koh and his long-standing team, including Dr. Soojin Kim, not a rotating cast of providers.
Invisalign Teen is more versatile than many parents expect. Dr. Koh uses it to correct a wide range of concerns, including:
During your teen’s initial consultation, Dr. Koh will evaluate their specific bite and dental development and walk you through exactly which treatment path makes sense, with no pressure and no one-size-fits-all recommendations.
Discreet by Design: Clear, virtually invisible aligners mean your teen can smile freely in photos, presentations, and everyday interactions without a second thought.
Removable for the Moments That Matter: Game day, prom, a saxophone recital- aligners come out for the moments that call for it, then go right back in.
No Food Off-Limits: Pizza with friends after practice, popcorn at the movies, whatever’s on the menu, Invisalign Teen means no dietary restrictions and none of the food traps that come with brackets and wires.
Easier Oral Hygiene: Because the aligners come out completely, brushing and flossing stay exactly as simple as they’ve always been, no wire-threading required.
Fewer Trips to Our Office: We pair Invisalign Teen with KohView Remote Monitoring, our proprietary system that lets Dr. Koh check progress through simple at-home photos. That means fewer appointments pulled from the middle of a school day.
Step 1: The initial Consultation & 3D Scan. Dr. Koh examines your teen’s teeth and bite, discusses goals with you and your teen together, and uses our advanced iTero digital scanner to build a precise 3D model of their smile, no messy impressions required.
Step 2: A Custom Treatment Plan. Using that 3D scan, Dr. Koh maps out exactly how your teen’s teeth will move over the course of treatment. You’ll see a digital preview of the projected result before treatment even begins, and together you’ll choose the treatment tier that fits your family’s goals and budget.
Step 3: Custom-Crafted Aligners Your teen’s aligners are made from Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack® material, a smooth, BPA-free plastic engineered for a precise fit and predictable, comfortable tooth movement.
Step 4: Wear, Swap, Progress Aligners are worn 20 to 22 hours a day and swapped for the next set in the series roughly every one to two weeks. The compliance indicators make it easy to track progress along the way.
Step 5: Progress Tracking, Often From Home. Thanks to KohView, Dr. Koh can review your teen’s progress between visits using simple at-home photos, saving in-person appointments for when they’re genuinely needed
Step 6: The Reveal Once treatment is complete, we’ll fit your teen with a custom retainer to protect their results for the long run. From first consultation to final reveal, the goal is a process that feels as smooth as the smile it produces.
Invisalign Teen tends to be a great fit for teenagers who:
