Oklahoma is in the top 5 most successful states at Miss Teen USA in terms of number and value of placements. Oklahoma's best performance came in the 1980s through the early 1990s. After Oklahoma was taken over by Vanbros there was a six-year lapse, before Nikki Carver brought the state back into the semi-finals in 2003. The state's most recent placement was in 2019, when Abigail Billings finished in the top 15. Oklahoma has produced one Miss Teen USA, Allison Brown, who won in 1986.

Four Oklahoma teens have crossed over to win the Miss Oklahoma USA title and compete at Miss USA, with Morgan Woolard being the most successful with a 1st runner-up placement at Miss USA 2010.

Danika Christopherson of Lawton was crowned Miss Oklahoma Teen USA 2020 on December 22, 2019 at The Grand Casino Hotel Resort in Shawnee. She represented Oklahoma for the title of Miss Teen USA 2020 on November 2020 and placed in the Top 16.
