  • Consultation and Assessment for Invisalign® First

    Your Invisalign® First journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at London Dental Specialists, where our experienced orthodontic team will assess your child's dental development and determine their suitability for this innovative treatment. During this initial 45-minute consultation, we'll conduct a thorough examination of your child's teeth, jaw, and overall oral health.

    The assessment includes several key components to ensure the most effective treatment plan:

    • Digital scanning of your child's teeth using advanced 3D imaging technology
    • Dental photographs to document the current position of teeth
    • X-rays when necessary to evaluate tooth roots and jaw development
    • Bite analysis to assess how upper and lower teeth come together

    Following the examination, our specialists will create a personalised ClinCheck® treatment simulation, showing you and your child a virtual representation of how their teeth will move throughout the treatment process. This digital preview helps demonstrate the expected outcomes and allows us to make any necessary adjustments before beginning treatment.

    During the consultation, we'll also:

    • Explain how Invisalign® First aligners work
    • Discuss the expected treatment duration
    • Provide guidance on aligner wear and care
    • Answer any questions you or your child may have about the treatment

    If Invisalign® First is determined to be suitable for your child, we'll schedule an appointment to begin the treatment process. Our team will ensure you leave the consultation with a clear understanding of the treatment journey ahead and what to expect at each stage.

    Custom Treatment Plan for Invisalign® First

    Your customised Invisalign® First treatment plan begins with a detailed digital scan of your child's teeth using our state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology. This advanced scanning process creates precise digital impressions without the need for uncomfortable traditional moulds.

    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:

    • Comprehensive digital mapping of your child's current tooth position and bite alignment
    • Creation of a step-by-step movement schedule for each tooth
    • Development of a series of custom-made clear aligners specific to your child
    • Virtual preview of the expected treatment outcome

    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:

    • Multiple sets of clear aligners to be worn in sequence
    • Specific wearing instructions for optimal results
    • Regular progress check-ups to monitor treatment
    • Adjustments to the treatment plan if needed

    Treatment Procedures for Invisalign® First

    Invisalign® First treatment procedures begin with a comprehensive digital scanning of your child's teeth, creating a precise 3D model that serves as the blueprint for their personalised treatment plan. 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.

    Here's what to expect during the treatment process:

    • Regular check-ups every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress
    • Wear time of 20-22 hours per day for optimal results
    • Easy removal for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing
    • Gentle, controlled movements specifically designed for growing mouths

    The aligners are crafted from a smooth, comfortable material that's virtually invisible when worn. They're specially designed to accommodate both baby teeth and permanent teeth, making them ideal for young patients in mixed-dentition stages.

    Your child's treatment journey will be fully monitored using our advanced ClinCheck® software, allowing us to track progress and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the best possible outcomes. This technology enables us to show you a virtual representation of how your child's teeth will move throughout the treatment process.

    As part of our commitment to successful treatment, we provide detailed guidance on aligner care and maintenance, ensuring your child gets the most from their Invisalign® First treatment. We'll also offer regular support and advice throughout the entire treatment journey.

    • Daily Care Instructions:
      • Clean retainers with lukewarm water morning and night
      • Store retainers in their protective case when not in use
      • Keep retainers away from heat sources
      • Maintain regular dental hygiene routine

    We recommend scheduling regular check-ups to monitor your child's dental development and ensure the retention phase is progressing as planned. Our team remains available to address any concerns or questions you may have about post-treatment care.

    • Important Post-Treatment Guidelines:
      • Follow the prescribed retainer wear schedule
      • Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments
      • Contact us immediately if retainers feel loose or uncomfortable
      • Keep retainers clean and properly stored

    What is Invisalign® First and how does it help children's teeth development?

    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.

      • Comfortable, smooth plastic design without metal brackets or wires
      • Removable for eating, sports activities, and special occasions
      • Easy to maintain good oral hygiene

    • Treatment process includes:
      • Digital scanning of teeth for precise treatment planning
      • Custom-made series of aligners changed every 1-2 weeks
      • Regular check-ups every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress
      • Average treatment duration of 3 months, varying by individual needs

    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.
