Invisalign First: A First Of Its Kind For Growing Smiles
Paediatric Orthodontics Braces and Invisalign First
What is Invisalign First Clear Aligners?
- Designed for growing children who are aged 6+
- Precise and comfortable
- Made to grow with them, even with baby teeth
Invisalign First is the newest addition to the Invisalign treatment suite, designed specifically as an early orthodontic solution for children aged 6 and above. With Invisalign First, children whose teeth are still developing can use clear aligners to straighten their teeth. This provides parents with an alternative to metal braces, helping their child avoid the discomfort and abrasions often linked to traditional braces.
Why Invisalign First?
- Enables early correction and prevention to establish a functional and stable bite early in life
- Can address a wide variety of orthodontic issues in growing children
- No dietary restrictions; children can remove aligners to eat, drink, and brush their teeth
- Provides a predictable and positive experience for both children and parents
Early orthodontic treatment is essential.
We believe that early orthodontic intervention offers numerous benefits. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) advises scheduling an orthodontic check-up by age 7, as a child’s jaw is still flexible at this age, allowing for effective treatment. Early intervention enables specialists to address orthodontic issues sooner, potentially avoiding more complex procedures later on. Orthodontics goes beyond just straightening teeth; problems like misalignment, bite issues, and overcrowding can lead to various health concerns into adulthood.
How does Invisalign First Works?
Invisalign First serves as a pre-treatment designed to prepare your child’s teeth, bite, and jaws for any necessary orthodontic treatment in the future. By implementing this pre-treatment, the overall duration and extent of future treatment during their teenage years can be minimized.
Invisalign First works to gradually expand the dental arch and jawline, creating an optimal environment for future tooth eruption. Similar to standard Invisalign treatment, these clear aligners gently shift your child’s teeth into the desired position; however, the aligner trays for Invisalign First have unique features to accommodate new teeth as they emerge.
Throughout your child’s Invisalign First treatment, the aligners will work to straighten teeth, expand the bite, and create space for incoming teeth simultaneously.
You might be surprised to learn that younger patients often show greater compliance with treatment, making it easier than waiting until their teenage years!
How do you know your child needs early orthodontic intervention?
If either parent have misaligned teeth or have undergone orthodontic treatment in the past, it’s quite possible that your children will also require orthodontic care. Tooth alignment is hereditary, and these issues are often passed down from parents to their children. If you observe any of the following problems in your child, it’s important to schedule an early dental screening with our orthodontic specialist.
