Considering Invisalign First for your child? At London Dental Specialists, we understand parents have questions about this innovative early orthodontic treatment. Invisalign First is specially designed for growing smiles, gently guiding dental development while being nearly invisible. Many families wonder about treatment duration, effectiveness for widening smiles, and what to expect from those first aligners. Our clear aligners create room for incoming teeth, support proper jaw development, and address various orthodontic issues—all while being more comfortable than traditional braces. Below are answers to the most common questions we receive about how Invisalign First can help shape your child's confident smile for years to come.
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.
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.
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.
Invisalign First can address a variety of orthodontic issues in growing children, including:
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.
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.
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.
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.
