Considering Invisalign® First for your child? This innovative orthodontic treatment is specifically designed for young patients aged 6-12 years, addressing dental issues early while teeth and jaws are still developing. At London Dental Specialists, we understand parents have questions about this clear aligner system. Invisalign® First can correct arch development, tooth crowding, spacing and protrusions—often in shorter treatment times than traditional braces, with most cases completing in around 3 months. The removable aligners offer comfort and convenience for active children. While treatment eligibility requires specific tooth development criteria, our specialists can determine if your child is a suitable candidate during a consultation. Below are answers to the questions we hear most frequently from parents considering this early intervention option.
Invisalign First is a specialised orthodontic treatment designed specifically for children aged 6-12. It uses clear, removable aligners to address dental issues during early development, including arch expansion, tooth crowding, spacing problems, and tooth protrusions. This treatment helps guide the growth of young jaws and teeth, potentially reducing the need for more extensive treatment later.
Invisalign First is specifically designed for children aged 6-12 years old. This age range is ideal for early orthodontic intervention as it allows treatment to begin while the jaw is still developing. At London Dental Specialists, we assess each child individually to determine if they are ready for Invisalign First treatment based on their dental development.
Invisalign First can effectively treat several common dental issues in children, including:
For a child to be eligible for Invisalign First at London Dental Specialists, they must have erupted permanent first molars and at least two incisors (permanent or primary) that are at least 2/3rd erupted. Additionally, patients should have at least two primary teeth or unerupted permanent teeth per quadrant in at least three quadrants. Our specialists will conduct a thorough assessment to determine if your child meets these requirements.
The duration of Invisalign First treatment varies depending on the complexity of your child's dental issues. On average, most treatments at London Dental Specialists take approximately 3 months for complete correction. However, some cases may require longer treatment times. Our specialists will provide a personalised treatment timeline during your child's initial consultation.
Yes, Invisalign First is worth considering as it typically leads to shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces. While traditional braces must be worn continuously, Invisalign First aligners are removable, making oral hygiene easier for children. Additionally, the clear aligners are more comfortable and less noticeable than metal braces, which can boost a child's confidence during treatment at London Dental Specialists.
Proper care for Invisalign First aligners includes:
During Invisalign First treatment, your child will typically need to visit London Dental Specialists every 6-8 weeks for progress checks. These appointments allow our specialists to monitor your child's treatment progress, make any necessary adjustments, and provide new sets of aligners. Regular attendance at these appointments is crucial for successful treatment outcomes.
Yes, one of the advantages of Invisalign First is that the aligners can be temporarily removed for sports activities, especially those requiring a mouthguard. Children can also remove their aligners briefly when playing wind or brass instruments. However, for optimal results, aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day, so they should be reinserted as soon as these activities are completed.
