Invisalign First
Book an Appointment
Invisalign First is a specialised orthodontic solution designed for young children with developing teeth. It employs transparent, detachable aligners instead of traditional braces, softly steering teeth to their proper alignment. This method provides a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing choice for children. Invisalign First effectively tackles different dental problems early on, laying a solid groundwork for a child's lifelong smile.
Invisalign First can treat several orthodontic conditions, such as arch development, spacing, misalignment, crowding, crossbites and tooth malposition.
However, Invisalign First may not be the best treatment for some children. Invisalign First is only effective when the child wears it, so children who don’t wear their aligners as directed may not get the planned results.
Invisalign First operates by progressively shaping and widening a child's jaw through dental arch expansion. This treatment gently moves the child's teeth over time, effectively broadening the arch's width. The process kicks off with a consultation where the orthodontist evaluates if Invisalign First is appropriate for your child. If suitable, the orthodontist will then proceed to take digital scans and x-rays of your child's smile, which are crucial in crafting the custom-fit Invisalign First aligners.
Invisalign First enhance your child's dental alignment through a series of custom aligners.
The process begins with a thorough assessment to ensure suitability and followed by digital scans to create the aligners. Throughout treatment, regular check-ups monitor progress.
The result is a gradual improvement in jaw expansion and tooth alignment, providing a healthier, more attractive smile in a less invasive manner than traditional braces.
The recommended age for Invisalign First is from age six, and is suitable for growing children. Invisalign aligners can correct different alignment problems.
Correcting orthodontic issues at a young age gives the adult teeth a better chance of coming in aligned. It also prevents crowding and spacing issues, narrow dental arches and a misaligned bite.
After Invisalign First treatment, a child will be familiar with orthodontic treatment and ready for treatment with Invisalign Teen.
The treatment duration varies depending on several factors, such as the dental condition, how the child responds to the orthodontic device and if they wear the aligner as instructed. On average, treatment takes 4 – 6 months. Ensure your child wears the Invisalign First Aligners directly by the orthodontist for optimal results.
Invisalign First is suitable for children up to age 10. If your teenager needs treatment, Invisalign Teen may be the ideal option.
The orthodontist will inform you of the exact cost of the treatment during the initial appointment after examining the child’s teeth and bite.
