Invisalign is a GREAT option for your daughter! About a year ago, Invisalign started accepting teens for treatment. What a great way to do braces in high-school! She will need to treat both arches (it costs the same as a single arch) so that her bite will be aligned after her lower teeth are straightened. And she can whiten in the Invisalign Trays!
I find the biggest drawback for teens is compliance. For Invisalign to work, you HAVE to WEAR the trays all of the time unless you are eating or brushing your teeth. Many times teens will slack off and the treatment doesn't work, or it takes a MUCH longer time for it to work. Also, I recommend teens have their teeth cleaned twice as often (4x per year) when using Invisalign.
If you think she will be compliant -- Invisalign is the way to go.
Invisalign is a method we use to straighten teeth using a set of clear plastic trays. You can straighten crowded/crooked teeth, close unsightly gaps, and improve your bite without anyone knowing you are wearing braces. Invisalign works quickly.
The costs associated with Invisalign cover records, development of a computer program, and production of the clear trays. Records fees range from $500-$800 and the treatment itself ranges from $4000-$7000.
I'm such a fan of Invisalign, I became a patient myself. I started my Invisalign (to perfect my smile and correct my bite) a few months ago and I'm already nearly finished! I even paid out of pocket to do this treatment.
