Invisalign Aligners For Kids And Teens – Early Orthodontic Care

Why Early Treatment Matters

Orthodontic treatment is not just for teenagers. In fact, many orthodontic issues are easier to correct during the early years, when the jaw and facial bones are still developing. This stage, known as the mixed dentition phase (when baby and adult teeth are both present), is an ideal time to guide growth and prevent more serious problems later on.

Early or interceptive orthodontic treatment can help address concerns such as crowding, spacing, underbites, overbites, and alignment issues before they become more complex. And this can now be possible with the advance technology of Invisalign aligners for kids and teenagers alike.

Invisalign® First: Designed for Little Smiles

Invisalign® First is a pioneering treatment created specifically for children aged 6 to 10. These aligners are crafted to accommodate growing mouths, gently guiding the development of the teeth and jaw while allowing for natural growth.

Unlike traditional fixed appliances, Invisalign® First aligners are:

• Comfortable and removable, making it easier for children to brush, floss, and maintain good oral hygiene.
• Virtually invisible, helping young patients feel confident throughout their treatment.
• Customised for growth, with space to adapt as new teeth erupt and the smile evolves.

By starting early, Invisalign® First helps create the right foundation for permanent teeth to emerge in better alignment, reducing the need for extensive treatment later on.

Invisalign® Mandibular Advancement: For Tweens and Teens

As children grow into their teenage years, orthodontic needs evolve. For patients with Class II malocclusion (where the lower jaw is set back compared to the upper jaw), Invisalign® now offers an innovative solution known as Invisalign® with Mandibular Advancement featuring Enhanced Precision Wings.

This advanced treatment combines tooth alignment with jaw positioning in a single, comfortable system. The precision wings are built directly into the aligners, gently encouraging the lower jaw to move forward while straightening the teeth at the same time.

Benefits include:

• Simultaneous correction of bite and alignment, reducing treatment time.
• No bulky metal appliances, offering a comfortable, aesthetic alternative to functional braces.
• Improved compliance, as aligners are clear and easy to wear.

This approach is particularly suitable for tweens and teens in the late mixed or early permanent dentition stage, offering a modern, patient-friendly way to achieve long-term results.

Invisalign® Palatal Expander: Expanding Possibilities

For younger patients who require arch development, the Invisalign® Palatal Expander offers a digital, removable, and non-invasive solution. This new system uses a series of custom-made devices that gradually widen the upper jaw, helping to correct crossbites and create the space needed for proper tooth alignment.

As the first digitally designed and 3D-printed expander from Align Technology, this innovation offers a precise and predictable way to guide jaw growth, while maintaining comfort and convenience.
