Invisalign® aligners are also a great option for kids because they are practical, comfortable, and safe for small smiles. Invisalign® First is a special version of Invisalign® treatment that has been created specifically for children ages 6-10 whose permanent teeth are still growing.

Is Invisalign^® treatmentright for my child?

The British Orthodontic Society recommends that children receive their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. This is because by age 7 most children have a mix of baby and permanent teeth and are experiencing growth in their jaw and facial structure.

During this phase, it is easier to correct misalignments and developmental issues. Early orthodontic intervention can help avoid issues that may emerge later on.

If orthodontic treatment is necessary, Invisalign^® aligners could be a good option because they are convenient and more comfortable than metal braces. However, you will need to assess if your child is disciplined enough to wear the aligners for the recommended period of time each day.

Benefits of Invisalign^® for kids

Here are a few reasons why Invisalign^® treatment is a great choice for little smiles:

Early intervention:

Phase 1 treatment allows orthodontists to treat issues early, which could help avoid the need for more advanced treatments later on.

Easy dental care:

Aligners can be removed for meals and for brushing and flossing, making it easier to keep teeth clean and healthy.

Less irritation:

Invisalign^® aligners are made of a thin, plastic material and are much more comfortable than traditional metal braces.

Minimal in-person visits:

With remote Dental Monitoring you can track treatment progress without needing to stop into our practice. That means more time for doing the things you want to do!

Predictable results:

With the latest digital technology we can predict your child’s treatment results, so you can know exactly what to expect.

Understanding Invisalign^® First

Invisalign^® First is designed specifically for children with mixed dentition, meaning they have both baby teeth and incoming permanent teeth. There are some added features that make it an optimal choice for growing smiles:

Guided growth

Invisalign^® First aligners are custom-made to fit your child’s mouth and gently guide their teeth into place. They are designed with extra space to accommodate incoming teeth and ensure they grow in proper alignment.

Compliance indicators

Invisalign^® First aligners are outfitted with blue dot indicators that fade over time as the aligners are worn. This will help to ensure your child complies with wearing the aligners for the amount of time prescribed and achieves the best treatment results.

Replacement aligners

If an aligner is lost, there is no need to stress. Invisalign^® First includes a few replacement aligners to provide peace of mind and ensure treatment stays on track.
