Is Invisalign faster for teenagers?

Treatment times vary, but as bone density is lower in teenagers than in later adulthood, younger patients might respond slightly more quickly than adults.

Can children under 12 get Invisalign?

Yes, with Invisalign First, typically between the ages of 6 and 10. It may be that no treatment is needed, in which case growing teeth can be monitored with regular checkups.

How much does Invisalign for kids cost in Standish, Wigan?

Invisalign for Kids: Age Guide & Treatment Options in Wigan

Consultation and planning

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.

Active 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.

Reveal and retainer

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.

Gemma Bailey

As a patient who has put off going to the dentist for years due to major anxiety, after one visit with Dr Claire. my anxieties had been completely put to bed! A lovely welcoming practise, all the staff are so friendly and the treatment received has been fantastic.

Unfortunately I needed root canal treatment and I wasn’t looking forward to it. However, I was worrying over nothing. I highly recommend Dr Bally at Circ Dental (Recommended to me by my Sister). Dr Bally is an excellent Special Interest Endodontist. The whole process was more like treatment for a small filling, just a bit longer. Dr Bally took time to inform me on what was happening and the whole process was completely pain free. A week after the treatment and all is good. I would also like mention that Circ Dental has a very modern clean environment and a welcoming reception.

Excellent service from the initial consultation right through to the procedure itself and subsequent check up. Matt Jones took the time to explain what he was going to do on each occasion. The whole practise is very professional and welcoming and finally I am delighted with the results.

Visited Circ Dental on 12 May 2026. The practice is a modern, well appointed and very clean dental surgery. The reception staff where helpful extremely friendly. My treatment was carried out by Dr Matt Jones who was very reassuring and knowledgeable and guided me through each stage of the process. I hope Circ have a referral program as I know a few people who I would confidently refer. Thanks to all the staff at Circ Dental in Standish

I recently had composite edge bonding done and I’m really happy with the results! The team were friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Everything was explained clearly and the finish looks really natural just as I wanted. Would definitely recommend Circ Dental if you’re considering getting this treatment!

Elaine Blackburn

I moved to Circ Dental after being with another private practice for 10+ years, and I’m so glad I made the switch. Having them right in the village is so convenient, and both me and my 14 year old have been with them since they opened. The practice is spotless, modern, and welcoming, and all the staff are super friendly. Matt is our dentist and he’s always professional and thorough, and he’s been great with my daughter too. With my six‑monthly check ups and hygienist appointments, I feel the level of care, service, and availability is well worth the fee. I’d happily recommend Circ Dental.

Kath F

Absolutely delighted with the results! Nick is an absolute genius at what he does. From start to finish everything was explained and I felt relaxed and confident throughout the process. Would highly recommend Circ Dental 😁
