Invisalign First Consultation: Your Child's First Step to a Beautiful Smile

At London Dental Specialists, we begin your child's Invisalign First journey with a comprehensive consultation and assessment. This crucial first step sets the foundation for a successful treatment plan tailored to your child's unique dental needs.

During this initial visit, our experienced orthodontists will:

• Evaluate your child's oral health: We thoroughly examine your child's teeth, gums, and jaw alignment to determine if Invisalign First is the right treatment option.


• Discuss treatment goals: We listen to your concerns and explain how Invisalign First can address issues such as crowding, spacing, and arch development.


• Create digital impressions: Using state-of-the-art iTero Element scanners, we capture precise 3D images of your child's teeth, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions.


• Visualise the treatment outcome: We use advanced software to show you and your child a preview of the expected results, helping you make an informed decision.

The consultation typically lasts about 60 minutes, allowing ample time to address all your questions and concerns. Our friendly team ensures both you and your child feel comfortable and well-informed throughout the process.

Key Benefits of Invisalign First Consultation at London Dental Specialists:

• Early intervention: Addressing orthodontic issues early can prevent more complex problems in the future.


• Customised treatment: Each plan is tailored to your child's specific needs and growth patterns.


• Comfortable experience: Our child-friendly approach helps put young patients at ease.

After the consultation, if Invisalign First is deemed suitable, we'll proceed with creating a personalised treatment plan. This marks the beginning of your child's journey towards a healthier, more confident smile with London Dental Specialists.
