What are Invisalign First for Growing Smiles?

Invisalign First for Growing Smiles is a specialised clear aligner treatment designed specifically for children with primary or mixed dentition, typically aged 6-10 years. This early orthodontic intervention helps correct developing malocclusions, creates room for incoming permanent teeth, and supports proper jaw development as children grow. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign First offers a more comfortable, removable solution that can address a variety of orthodontic issues including crowding, spacing, and arch development, while providing a positive treatment experience that fits seamlessly into children's active lifestyles, potentially reducing the need for more extensive treatment later.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Invisalign First?


Invisalign First is a specialised orthodontic treatment designed specifically for growing children aged 6-10 years. It uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently guide the development of young smiles, addressing issues such as arch development, tooth spacing, and crowding. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign First offers a comfortable, removable solution that works with your child's natural growth to achieve optimal results.



At what age can my child start Invisalign First treatment?


Invisalign First is typically recommended for children between the ages of 6 and 10 years. This is an ideal time for intervention as children still have a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth. At London Dental Specialists, our orthodontists will assess your child's specific dental development to determine if they are suitable candidates for Invisalign First treatment.



How long does Invisalign First treatment take?


The duration of Invisalign First treatment varies depending on each child's specific needs. Typically, treatment can last between 6-18 months. Some simple cases may show significant improvements in as little as six months. Your orthodontist at London Dental Specialists will provide a personalised treatment timeline during your child's initial consultation.



What dental issues can Invisalign First correct?


Invisalign First can address a variety of orthodontic issues in growing children, including:



  • Arch development problems

  • Crowded teeth

  • Spacing issues

  • Creating room for emerging permanent teeth

  • Certain bite problems (mild to moderate)

  • Guiding jaw growth



How do I care for my child's Invisalign First aligners?


Caring for Invisalign First aligners is straightforward. They should be cleaned daily with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water as it can warp the plastic. Aligners should be removed when eating or drinking anything other than water, and teeth should be brushed before reinserting the aligners. London Dental Specialists provides each patient with a protective case to store aligners safely when not in use.



Will my child experience pain with Invisalign First?


Most children experience minimal discomfort with Invisalign First. Some temporary pressure or tenderness may occur when beginning a new aligner, which typically subsides within a few days. This mild sensation is actually a sign that the treatment is working. The smooth plastic material of Invisalign aligners is designed to be gentle on cheeks and gums, unlike traditional braces which can cause irritation.



How often will we need to visit London Dental Specialists during treatment?


During Invisalign First treatment, appointments are typically scheduled every 8-10 weeks. These check-ups allow our specialists to monitor your child's progress, provide new sets of aligners, and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan. These visits are generally quick and convenient, minimising disruption to school and family schedules.



What happens after the first set of Invisalign aligners?


After your child completes their first set of aligners, our orthodontists will evaluate their progress. Each aligner moves teeth approximately 1/10mm, creating gradual, comfortable changes. Your child will progress to new sets of aligners throughout treatment, with each set building upon the progress of the previous one. This sequential approach ensures optimal tooth movement and development of the dental arches.



What are the main benefits of choosing Invisalign First for my child?


The key benefits of Invisalign First include:



  • Clear, nearly invisible aligners that children aren't embarrassed to wear

  • Removable for eating, drinking, brushing and special occasions

  • Custom-designed specifically for your child's unique dental needs

  • Fewer emergency appointments compared to traditional braces

  • Better oral hygiene as aligners can be removed for thorough brushing and flossing

  • No dietary restrictions

  • Comfortable with no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation

  • Digital treatment planning that allows you to visualise expected results
