Invisalign First
What Is Invisalign First?
Invisalign First is a new treatment designed specifically for little smiles. It can improve children’s smiles as they grow.
Invisalign First is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment available for children whose teeth are still growing. If you want to provide your child with the positive benefits of Invisalign from a young age, Invisalign First may be the solution for you.
Invisalign First is used for making corrections in the positioning of growing teeth and is available exclusively for children as an alternative to fixed braces and other appliances.
As a result, the Invisalign First system includes unique dental arch expansion features and creates room for incoming adult teeth.
This treatment is for selected cases only, and our specialist orthodontist will advise if this is a suitable treatment for your child.

Invisalign First is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made clear aligners to gradually move a child's teeth into the desired positions. The aligners are made of a specialised plastic material and are worn for two weeks at a time, during which they gradually shift the teeth into their proper positions. Over time, these gradual shifts will result in improved arch development and expansion, as well as tooth crowding and spacing, and overall smile aesthetics.

Invisalign First is a great treatment for young children, however, like all orthodontic treatments, there can be some disadvantages.
One of the main drawbacks is that it can't be used to address complex orthodontic issues such as crossbites or extreme overbites.
In addition, Invisalign First can be more expensive than traditional braces and may require multiple trips to the orthodontist for adjustments and aligner changes.
-
For best results, your child should wear their aligners for the recommended duration as prescribed by their orthodontist.
Not wearing the aligners for this time may lead to slower progress and even a relapse of the current issues.
Proper maintenance and regular check-ups with an orthodontist is essential to ensure that Invisalign First works properly and efficiently.

If your child loses or breaks their aligners, you should contact your Invisalign provider immediately. They will be able to help you order a replacement aligner as quickly and easily as possible.
Make sure to keep the aligners away from heat and in a secure place when not being used. With regular wear, you'll be able to see the results of the treatment in just a few weeks.
-
While undergoing Invisalign First treatment, dietary restrictions are minimal. Your child should avoid hard or crunchy foods such as candy, chips, and nuts.
They should also drink plenty of water to help keep their teeth clean. Additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy diet and ensure your child is getting adequate nutrition for best results from the treatment.

No. Invisalign First is designed specifically for children and adolescents, and the effects of the aligners will resolve upon removal.
You won't need to worry about your child needing to wear aligners in adulthood if they are using Invisalign First during childhood!
-
The length of time your child will have to wear the Invisalign First aligners depends on their individual case and the severity of their misaligned teeth.
On average, treatment takes about six months to one year, but this can vary. You should speak with your orthodontist or dentist to get a better idea of how long it will take for your child's smile to be corrected.
