Usually, 13 is old enough for Invisalign Teen

Michael J. Thomas, DDS answers: Is 13 old enough for Invisalign Teen?

I want Invisalign Teen because they're clear and I don't want braces. But, I'm 13 years old. Is that old enough for this treatment?

Usually, girls mature quicker than boys and get all their adult teeth sooner. 12 or 13 is fine for Invisalign teen. It's just that jaw growth and facial contours need to be addressed at the same time.
