What Is Invisalign^® First?

Invisalign^® First is a specialised Invisalign^® treatment tailored for children between 6 and 10. It utilises a series of sleek, transparent, and removable plastic aligners, which progressively adjust the alignment of the teeth and jaws. Invisalign^® First is instrumental in encouraging the expansion of your child’s dental arch, facilitating additional space for incoming teeth.

The treatment begins with an initial consultation, with digital scans of your child’s smile. The digital scans help create custom-made Invisalign^® aligners, ensuring they are a perfect fit and provide the utmost comfort for your child.

How can early orthodontic treatment help my child?

Identifying potential orthodontic issues whilst your child’s teeth are in the developmental stage can substantially diminish the duration and expense of future treatments. Certain warning signs may suggest that your child could benefit from early orthodontic treatment. These signs include:

premature or delayed loss of milk teeth
difficulties when chewing
continuation of thumb-sucking past the age of five
speech difficulties
protruding teeth
misalignment of teeth
overcrowded teeth

Remember, prevention is indeed better than cure! If your child exhibits any of the above signs, it is crucial to have their teeth evaluated. But even more beneficial is proactive management, which involves taking your child to a specialist when they turn six.

How Does Invisalign^® First Work?

Invisalign^® First is an excellent method to achieve desirable results in Phase 1 treatment. The primary aim of this phase is to guide the development of young jaws and arches, creating ample space for existing teeth and accommodating future permanent teeth. Critical features of Invisalign^® First aligners include:

Broad applicability: These aligners address many teeth straightening issues in growing children. These problems can range from simple to complex, including issues like overcrowding of teeth, spacing irregularities, and narrow dental arches.

Ease of maintenance: Given their removable nature, Invisalign^® First aligners simplify the oral hygiene process. This feature is especially beneficial for growing children, making it easier for them to brush and floss.

Comfort-oriented design: The design of Invisalign^® First aligners is centred on comfort, effectively eliminating the discomfort traditionally associated with braces. Children using these aligners need not worry about the rubbing brackets or wires poking into their gums.

Invisalign^® First FAQs

Take a look at our most common questions about Invisalign^® First. If you have further queries, please reach out to us for help.

Is Invisalign^® First faster than braces?

Invisalign® First is a preferred option for aligning your children’s teeth, as it entails fewer visits to the dentist. Traditional braces require recurrent dental appointments due to adjustments to the wires. Invisalign® First allows for a flexible treatment schedule, reducing time spent in the dental chair.

How to encourage my child to use their Invisalign^® First aligners?

Promoting the use of Invisalign® First to your child can involve a few strategies:

Education: Help your child understand the benefits of wearing Invisalign® First. Explain how it will help improve their smile and the health of their teeth. Use simple language and make it engaging by using visuals or videos if available.
Routine: Make wearing the aligners part of their daily routine. Just as they brush their teeth daily, wearing the aligners should be a regular part of their day.
Rewards: Establish a rewards system for compliance. When your child wears their Invisalign® First consistently, reward them with small incentives. It could be an extra half-hour of TV time, a special treat, or a trip to their favourite park or activity.
Role Models: If known figures or celebrities have used Invisalign®, share their stories with your child. Seeing someone they look up to having gone through the same process can be encouraging. You can tell them that even Bryan Habana uses Invisalign®!
Progress: Regularly show them their progress. Children often get excited when they see changes and improvements, which can motivate them to wear their aligners regularly.
Positive Reinforcement: Give them compliments on how good they look with their aligners and praise them for being responsible and caring for their teeth. Positive reinforcement can be very effective in promoting the desired behaviour.
Involvement: Involve them in the process. Let them feel like they’re a part of the decision-making process, whether during the consultation, fitting or check-up appointments.
