Our specialist orthodontists will use these detailed scans to create a personalised treatment simulation showing the projected movement of your child's teeth throughout the entire process. This virtual treatment plan allows you to see the anticipated results before treatment even begins.
The treatment planning process involves:
Using specialised ClinCheck® software, we carefully plan each stage of your child's tooth movement. The aligners are then custom-manufactured using advanced CAD/CAM technology and a medical-grade thermoplastic material that's both comfortable and durable.
Each set of aligners is precisely crafted to gradually guide your child's teeth into their optimal position. The treatment plan typically includes:

This advanced technology allows us to map out the exact movements needed for optimal teeth alignment.
During the treatment process, your child will receive a series of custom-made clear aligners that are changed approximately every 1-2 weeks. Each set of aligners is specifically designed to make small, gradual adjustments to tooth position, following the predetermined treatment plan.

Invisalign® First is a specialised orthodontic treatment designed specifically for children aged 6-12 years old, using clear, removable aligners to guide teeth development and correct early orthodontic issues. This innovative treatment helps address developing bite problems, crowding, and spacing issues while teeth are still growing, potentially reducing the need for more complex treatment later.
The treatment uses custom-made, virtually invisible aligners that fit comfortably over growing teeth and are specifically engineered to accommodate both baby teeth and permanent teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign® First aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, and maintaining proper oral hygiene.
For optimal results, aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day, only removing them for meals, brushing, and flossing. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor progress and ensure proper tooth movement.
To begin Invisalign® First treatment for your child at London Dental Specialists, the first step is scheduling an initial consultation with our experienced orthodontic team. During this appointment, we'll conduct a comprehensive examination of your child's teeth and jaw development, including digital scans and X-rays, to determine if they're a suitable candidate for Invisalign® First treatment.
Following the assessment, we'll create a personalised treatment plan using advanced 3D imaging technology to map out your child's tooth movement journey. This allows us to show you a preview of the expected results before treatment begins.
