Invisalign First: The Clear Choice for Younger Smiles

At Bright Healthy Smiles, we believe that Invisalign is an excellent orthodontic option for all ages—not just teens and adults! Invisalign First is a fantastic solution for our younger patients undergoing Phase I orthodontic treatment, while they still have their baby teeth. This innovative treatment is designed to gently guide the development of the mouth, improve the bite, and create space for the future eruption of permanent teeth. It’s an ideal way to address alignment concerns early on, before the permanent teeth have fully emerged.

Why Invisalign First for Kids?

Invisalign First offers all the benefits of traditional braces, with the added advantage of flexibility. Since the aligners are clear and removable, they allow your child to eat their favorite foods without restrictions, unlike braces, and make brushing and flossing a breeze! Invisalign First helps in the early stages of orthodontic treatment, making it more comfortable and convenient for kids to achieve a healthier, straighter smile.

The Invisalign First Process

If you decide to move forward with Invisalign First for your child, here’s what you can expect:

  1. Invisalign Records: We’ll start by taking photos, radiographs, and a 3D iTero scan to create a personalized treatment plan for your child using Invisalign’s advanced software.
  2. Aligners Fitting: At the next appointment, your child will receive their first set of Invisalign aligners. We’ll also place tooth-colored attachments on their teeth to help the aligners work more effectively.
  3. Progress Monitoring: You’ll return approximately every 8 weeks for check-ups, where we will monitor your child’s progress and ensure their smile is moving in the right direction.
  4. Retention: At the end of phase I treatment, we will provide retainers and monitor retainer wear and tooth eruption until your child is ready for comprehensive orthodontic treatment.

Throughout treatment, we will work closely with you and your child to ensure that the aligners are working as planned, and they’ll continue to move through their series of aligners until Phase I treatment is complete.
