Invisalign Teen
The most common reasons teens avoid braces include:
- “Metal mouth” – the impact of braces on a teen’s appearance can often lead to teasing by peers and reduced self-esteem
- Restrictions – braces require your teen to give up popcorn, hard and sticky candies, gum, crunchy foods, and more
- Discomfort – braces can irritate the lips and gums, and increase teeth sensitivity
- Effort – teeth with braces are more challenging to keep clean and healthy
- Activities – sports, band instruments, and other common activities can be limited or made more difficult when wearing braces
Invisalign Teen® is designed to provide straighter, healthier teeth without any of these drawbacks of braces.

DR. CHRISTOPHER LEE
Dr. Christopher Lee was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and grew up in Northern California. When he was 16, he moved to Farragut, Tennessee, where he graduated high school. At 17, he began studying at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where he subsequently earned his Bachelor of Science degree.
While at BYU, Dr. Lee served in the Presidency of the Pre-Dental Club for three years and was instrumental in growing its membership to the highest in the country.
Dr. Lee sincerely desires to deliver the very best care for his patients. Exemplified in dental school, he attended countless evening and weekend courses to complete over 400 credit hours of Continuing Education on top of the rigorous demands of the normal dental school curriculum. Being the 11th dentist in his family (and 3rd generation on both sides!), he has had consistent sources of mentorship throughout his professional life. He continues to work one day a week with his father, Dr. David Lee, at Premier Dental in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Continuing his passion for dentistry, Dr. Lee completed his Doctorate in Dental Medicine degree from Roseman University of Health Sciences, a top-ranked private university in Utah. He led his fellow classmates in multiple ways, including serving as Class President.
From a young boy, his parents and mentors have taught him by example how to be an individual of integrity, hard work, and respect, in addition to living each day to its fullest. As a teenager, Dr. Lee earned the rank of Eagle Scout, and from 19-21 years old, he served as a missionary in Scotland for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Dr. Lee is active in the Tennessee Dental Association, the Second District Dental Society, the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and other study organizations and clubs.
In his spare time, Dr. Lee enjoys spending time with his wife Abby, two sons, dog Ace, and his family and friends. His other hobbies include working out, playing basketball and volleyball, hiking and bike riding, rock climbing, motorcycles, shooting and hunting, archery, deep sea fishing, scuba diving, wake surfing and boarding, cooking, traveling, and volunteering in the community.
Dr. Logan Schuiteman
Originally from a small, rural town in Northeastern Michigan, Dr. Schuiteman is excited to escape some of the cold by relocating to Tennessee! She completed her undergraduate studies at Saginaw Valley State University before attending Dental School in Louisville, Kentucky, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2018 with a Doctorate of Dental Medicine.
Dr. Schuiteman met her husband during their undergraduate studies and were married in September 2022. On weekends, they delight in spending time outdoors playing with their beautiful dog, Shenzi. Additionally, they enjoy traveling, hiking, camping, mountain biking, and playing pickleball. When they aren't exploring the outdoors together, she likes reading, crafting, cooking, and tending to her vegetable garden.
As your dentist, Dr. Schuiteman strives to provide high-quality care in a relaxed and comfortable environment. She is a member of the American Dental Association, Tennessee Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry, which helps her stay up-to-date on continuing education and providing the best care for her patients.
Dr. Schuiteman looks forward to working with you to keep your smile beautiful and functional!
Invisalign Teen® uses a series of clear, custom-fabricated aligners to gently and gradually correct the alignment of your teen’s teeth. Their nearly invisible appearance means most people will not be aware of the treatment.
Invisalign tTen® aligners can be removed for eating, dental hygiene, and activities like sports or band. This allows your teen to live a more normal life, keep their mouth healthy, and maintain a higher self-esteem during orthodontic treatment.
In most cases, Invisalign Teen® can correct issues with your teen’s smile for about the same investment as traditional braces, and generally requires fewer office visits. For more information or an Invisalign Teen® consultation, contact our office.
