Invisalign First is orthodontic treatment that is designed for children between the ages of 6 and 10 who have developing teeth and jaws. It is a form of clear aligner treatment that uses a series of removable, transparent aligners to gradually shift the teeth into the desired position.
The Invisalign First aligners are custom-made for each child and are worn for approximately 20 to 22 hours per day. They are typically changed every two weeks to keep up with the shifting teeth. Invisalign First is designed to correct common orthodontic issues in children, such as overcrowding, spacing, and crossbites.
The goal of Invisalign First is to create a healthy and stable foundation for permanent teeth to grow into, improving overall oral health and reducing the need for more extensive orthodontic treatment later in life.
Unlike the Invisalign for adults, the Invisalign First is designed for predictable results and a positive experience while addressing the unique needs of a growing child. It suits the children’s everyday needs while making the whole process of treatment simpler, faster and more aesthetic.
When there isn't enough room in the mouth for permanent teeth to grow in properly, they can become crowded, crooked, or misaligned. Invisalign First can help create more space in the mouth, allowing the permanent teeth to grow straight.
Some children may have gaps between their teeth due to a discrepancy in the size of their teeth and jaws. Invisalign First can help shift the teeth into the correct position, closing the gaps and improving the child's bite.
When the upper teeth fall inside the lower teeth, it's called a crossbite. This can cause problems with the bite, jaw alignment, and facial structure. Invisalign First can help correct the crossbite, reducing the risk of further dental issues.
When the upper teeth protrude too far over the lower teeth or vice versa, it's called an overbite or underbite. This can cause problems with speech, eating, and jaw alignment. Invisalign First can help correct the bite, improving overall oral health.
As a child grows, their smile grows with them and the jaw size, teeth, and facial structures change too. It may be time for children aged 6 to 10 to start orthodontic treatment as their requirement. This is known as Phase 1 treatment.
At this stage, doctors can see issues that may need early treatment to address a developing problem.
