INVISALIGN FIRST

Customised Clear Aligners For Kids

What is Invisalign First?

Invisalign First is an innovative clear aligner treatment designed for children between the ages of 6 – 10 years old. Unlike traditional braces that use metal wires and brackets, Invisalign First consists of a series of clear aligners to gently guide your child’s teeth into the right positions. These aligners are custom-made to fit your child’s mouth, making them comfortable and nearly invisible. Invisalign First clear aligners for kids can fix a broad range of teeth straightening issues, including crowding, spacing, and narrow dental arches.

Benefits of Invisalign First

Corrects bite problems

Invisalign First clear aligners for kids effectively address various teeth straightening issues like crowding, spacing, and narrow dental arches. Early intervention in your child’s growing years can shorten and simplify any future treatment.

Fully removable

Invisalign First aligners are removable, allowing kids to eat what they love and maintain oral hygiene with ease—no brackets or wires to worry about.

Designed for comfort

Crafted from a smooth, comfortable material, Invisalign First aligners minimise irritation and discomfort often linked with traditional metal braces.

Increases your child’s confidence

Misaligned teeth can greatly impact a child’s appearance. Invisalign First offers a solution to enhance how children look. Plus, it boosts their confidence by preventing teasing due to misaligned or crooked teeth.

Predictable Progress

Invisalign First treatment plans are developed using advanced digital technology. This reassures both parents and kids about the smile transformation over time.

Reduced Dental Visits

Invisalign cuts down dental checkups to every 6-8 weeks, compared to traditional braces which require visits every 4 weeks.

Invisalign First Treatment Process

Step 1: Initial Assessment

Our dentist assesses your child’s oral health for Invisalign First eligibility and collects vital dental records:

X-rays of teeth and jaws
Photos of profile and smile
Intraoral digital scan of teeth

A treatment plan will be prepared customised to your child’s specific needs and circumstances.

Step 2: Aligner Creation

Your approved treatment plan is sent to Align Technologies for aligner production.

Step 3: Receiving Aligners

Your child gets custom-made aligners, and is instructed on wear and care.
Your child should wear the aligners 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, flossing, and brushing.

Step 4: Gradual Shifts

Every 1-2 weeks, remember to progress to the next aligner for gradual, comfortable shifts.

Step 5: Progress Monitoring

You will need to bring your child for follow-up appointments every 6-8 weeks for tracking and adjustments.

You can also choose Dental Monitoring for fewer appointments and remote progress tracking.

Step 6: Completion and Retainers

After treatment, another intraoral scan will be taken, to fabricate retainers.
Wearing retainers ensures lasting results and prevents relapse.
