Invisalign For Kids

At Ovation Orthodontics, we believe every child deserves a confident, attractive smile, which is why we’re excited to offer Invisalign First — an innovative approach to early orthodontic treatment designed specifically for growing smiles.

Invisalign First brings the gentle effectiveness of clear aligner technology to Phase One treatment, addressing orthodontic issues while your child’s teeth and jaw are still developing. These comfortable, removable aligners make daily activities like eating, brushing, and flossing easy, while their nearly invisible appearance lets your child smile with confidence throughout treatment.

Starting treatment early with Invisalign First helps guide proper jaw growth and creates space for permanent teeth to emerge in better positions. This proactive approach can reduce the complexity of future treatment and may help avoid the need for tooth extractions later. When most permanent teeth have arrived, we seamlessly transition to Phase Two—either continuing with Invisalign aligners or traditional braces—to perfect your child’s bite and alignment, often with shorter overall treatment times.

At Ovation Orthodontics, our experienced team creates a warm, welcoming environment where your child can thrive. We combine advanced technology with personalized care to ensure comfortable, effective treatment. With Invisalign First, we’re helping children build the foundation for lifelong healthy, beautiful smiles.

Invisalign FAQ

What is Invisalign First?

Invisalign First is a specialized clear aligner treatment designed specifically for younger children who are in Phase One of orthodontic care, typically between the ages of 6 and 10. Unlike traditional Invisalign, which is aimed at teens and adults with fully erupted permanent teeth, Invisalign First is crafted to address early orthodontic issues such as crowding, spacing, and narrow dental arches while the child’s jaw is still growing and developing.

This proactive approach helps guide the growth of the jaw and supports the proper alignment of incoming permanent teeth, potentially preventing more complex orthodontic issues later. Like regular Invisalign, Invisalign First aligners are clear, removable, and comfortable, allowing children to maintain good oral hygiene and eat normally while undergoing treatment.

Is Invisalign as effective as braces for kids?

Parents often wonder if Invisalign is as effective as traditional braces for their child’s orthodontic treatment. Invisalign can successfully treat many of the same issues, such as crowding, gaps, and bite problems, but the best treatment depends on the complexity of the case. Your orthodontist will help determine the right option for your child.

How long will my child need to wear Invisalign aligners?

The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of the orthodontic issue, but on average, Invisalign treatment for children can last between 12 and 18 months. Regular wear (at least 22 hours per day) is key to completing treatment on time.
