Invisalign® for Kids – A Comfortable, Modern Approach to Straightening Smiles

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign® First is a clear aligner system specially designed for growing children aged 6 to 10. It gently guides developing teeth into better positions while allowing your child to smile, speak, and play without the hassle of wires or brackets.

These aligners are:

  • Custom-made for comfort and fit
  • Virtually invisible when worn
  • Removable. Making brushing, flossing, and eating easier
  • The only system in the market to shift baby teeth safely and effectively to allow the permanent teeth to come in naturally

How Does Invisalign Work for Kids?

Invisalign for kids starts with a digital scan of your child’s mouth. From this, a series of custom clear aligners are made to comfortably shift teeth over time.

  • Worn for 20–22 hours/day
  • Switched every 7 days.
  • Progress monitored with fewer in-office visits

Because the aligners are removable, children can:

  • Eat all their favorite foods (no popcorn or gum restrictions!)
  • Brush and floss just like normal
  • Enjoy sports and music without wires getting in the way

About Invisalign Technology

Invisalign uses SmartTrack® material, designed to apply consistent, gentle pressure for reliable results. With iTero Element® scanners, we capture a full 3D image of your child’s teeth. No uncomfortable molds needed!

The treatment plan is created using ClinCheck® software, giving you a virtual preview of how your child’s smile will change over time.

Why Choose Invisalign Over Traditional Braces?

Kids want to feel confident. Invisalign gives them that freedom without the look and discomfort of traditional braces.
