A Comfortable & Clear Alternative to Braces for Young Smiles
At Hwang Orthodontics, we believe that early orthodontic care can set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy, confident smiles. Invisalign® First is designed specifically for children, providing a comfortable, removable, and nearly invisible way to guide their developing teeth into the right position. If you’re looking for an effective, kid-friendly alternative to braces, Invisalign® for kids may be the perfect solution!
What is Invisalign® First?
Invisalign® First is a specialized treatment designed for children ages 6-10 who still have a mix of baby and permanent teeth. This Phase 1 orthodontic treatment helps create space for incoming permanent teeth while correcting bite issues early—without the need for traditional metal braces.
Benefits of Invisalign® for Kids
- Gentle & Comfortable – Smooth, custom-fit aligners are free from brackets and wires, reducing irritation.
- Nearly Invisible – Your child can smile confidently without noticeable metal braces.
- Removable & Easy to Clean – Kids can eat, brush, and floss with ease, promoting better oral hygiene.
- Encourages Healthy Development – Guides teeth into the right position, helping prevent more complex orthodontic issues later.
- Fewer Office Visits – Requires fewer adjustments than traditional braces, making it convenient for busy families.
How Does Invisalign® for Kids Work?
Initial Consultation & Personalized Treatment Plan
Your child's journey begins with a complimentary consultation at Hwang Orthodontics. We’ll assess their smile and use advanced 3D imaging to create a custom treatment plan tailored to their needs.
Receiving Custom Aligners
Once the aligners are ready, your child will wear them for 20-22 hours per day, changing to a new set about every 1-2 weeks to gradually shift their teeth into place.
Progress & Monitoring
We’ll schedule periodic check-ups to ensure their treatment is progressing smoothly. Since Invisalign® aligners are removable, kids can continue enjoying their favorite foods and activities with minimal disruption.
A Healthy, Beautiful Smile!
By the end of Phase 1 treatment, your child’s teeth and jaw will be in a better position for their growing permanent teeth, reducing the need for more extensive orthodontic work later.
Is Invisalign® First Right for Your Child?
Invisalign® First is ideal for kids who have:
- Early signs of crowding, spacing, or misalignment
- Bite issues such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- A mix of baby and permanent teeth
- The ability to wear aligners consistently
If your child is showing signs of orthodontic concerns, early treatment with Invisalign® can help prevent more complex issues down the road.
