Invisalign® for Kids

We will take a precise scan of your child’s teeth using an iTero 3D scanner, so we can find the best treatment that fits their profile. We will assess how the jaw is growing and where the adult teeth are developing.

It is important to note that Invisalign may not always be the right choice, especially where teeth are severely misaligned; in this case, ceramic or metal braces may be a better option.

If your child’s teeth have few or no issues, they can simply be monitored with regular check-ups. Our team may also recommend waiting until all their permanent teeth have fully erupted to begin teeth-straightening treatment.

Your child’s aligners will be fitted, with regular check-ups every 4 to 8 weeks. Our dental team will show you and your child how to place and look after the aligners, when to replace them and how to keep their teeth healthy. Although standard Invisalign treatment takes between 18 and 24 months, Invisalign First can vary.

Our dental team recommends that aligners are worn between 20 and 22 hours a day. If this may be a problem, let us know. We encourage you and your child to take an active part in the journey and will work with you to find a solution.

At their final appointment, your child’s aligners will be replaced with a retainer. We’ll provide a clear, removable retainer, worn at night, to keep everything in place and keep up all the hard work. Our dental team will show your child how to clean it and keep their smile looking great.
