Invisalign® for children
Protecting the health of small smiles
Did you know that Invisalign® treatment can help kids too? In fact, we have a treatment made just for small smiles called Invisalign® First.
Invisalign® First for children
Invisalign® First is an Invisalign® treatment designed specifically for children ages 7-10. It uses smooth plastic aligners to guide the growth of your child’s dental arches and make room for all their incoming teeth.
One of the best things about Invisalign® aligners is that they are removable. This means your child won’t have to change their diet or routine during treatment.
How can my child get started with Invisalign® First?
During your child’s free consultation, we will use our 3D scanner to make a digital model of their smile. This model will help us create their custom treatment programme and aligners.
Each set of aligners is shaped a little differently to guide your child’s teeth and jaws into proper alignment. To progress through treatment, your child will switch to a new set of aligners every couple weeks from the comfort of home.
How do I know if my child needs early treatment?
Not all children need early treatment, but some signs your child could benefit from Invisalign® First include:
- Early or late loss of baby teeth
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Mouth breathing
- Thumb-sucking past the age of 5
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Jaws that are too far forward or back
- Protruding front teeth
- Upper and lower teeth that don’t meet together
- Lack of facial symmetry
Not all signs of orthodontic need are obvious. That’s why we recommend you bring your child in for a consultation around the age of 7 or 8 so Dr Jeet can assess their smile. Catching orthodontic issues early can save you time and money on treatment in your child’s teenage years.
Benefits of Invisalign® First
Parents and children alike enjoy Invisalign® First because it is:
- Removable: Children don’t need to adjust their meals, activities or oral hygiene routine during treatment.
- Comfortable: Because there are no metal brackets or wires, Invisalign® treatment is gentle on your child’s mouth.
- Discreet: Invisalign® aligners are completely transparent, so your child can smile all through treatment.
- Effective: Invisalign® First is extremely accurate and can reduce the need for treatment later on.
