Invisalign® for Kids is designed to help children in the early stages of dental development. This innovative treatment is perfect for guiding teeth and jaws into the proper positions, setting the foundation for a healthier, straighter smile. By starting treatment early, we can potentially reduce the need for more extensive orthodontic work later and prevent future dental issues.

The Invisalign® Treatment Process for Kids
Consultation
The first step is an initial consultation, where we’ll assess your child’s dental needs and discuss whether Invisalign® is the right treatment for them.
Custom Treatment Plan
Using advanced digital scanning technology, we’ll create precise 3D images of your child’s teeth and develop a personalized treatment plan that outlines how their teeth will move and how long the treatment will take.
Invisalign® Aligners
Once the plan is set, we’ll provide your child with a series of custom-made aligners. These aligners are made of SmartTrack® material, which is comfortable and effective. Your child will wear each set of aligners for approximately one to two weeks before switching to the next set in the series.
Ongoing Progress Monitoring
Your child will wear their Invisalign® aligners for 20-22 hours a day for optimal results. We’ll check their progress every few weeks to ensure everything is on track.
Post-Treatment Care
Once the treatment is complete, we’ll discuss the use of retainers to maintain the new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back.
