What is Invisalign First?

Children manifest orthodontic problems at young ages and tend to develop characteristics of these conditions while they still have their baby teeth. Invisalign First is a really strong treatment for addressing orthodontic conditions while the mouth grows and develops. Examples of conditions for which Invisalign First is carried out are crossbites, crowding, protrusion, open bite, and spaces between teeth.

The ideal candidates for Invisalign First are usually 6-10 years old and have baby teeth. However, the technology is made to fit the movements of both baby teeth and adult teeth. The treatment plan for Invisalign First can easily be topped off with more phases later on to move and correct adult teeth.

Preparing for Invisalign First

We take 3D images of your child's teeth and make aligners out of them. It takes just a few minutes to take these images, and casts aren't needed. The Invisalign First aligners are made to suit the mouths of your children perfectly. Our software uses the child's 3Ds to make a plan to treat his or her specific condition.

Wearing Invisalign First

Each aligner needs to be worn for no more than 1-2 weeks before getting replaced by the new one. Incidentally, every aligner in the Invisalign First is removable so the kids can brush their teeth and floss properly. This will lead to improved dental health and a decrease in common dental problems like plaque, caries, and gum irritation. On the days the children have their aligners in, they can eat and drink anything as they have to remove the aligner otherwise.

What happens after Invisalign First?

Patients end up wearing retainers after completing their Invisalign First treatment in order to maintain the positions of their teeth. It completely depends on the recommendation from a doctor regarding their orthodontic treatment whether they should have their second phase or transition to Invisalign Teen. Usually, the children have to wait until they have lost their baby teeth and observed their permanent arch before stepping to Invisalign Teen.

What are the advantages?

Invisalign First is suitable for your kid for a few praiseworthy advantages:

You will find that the Invisalign First system is a comfortable and convenient system.

Unlike traditional metal braces, braces from the Invisalign First system possess no metal wires or brackets. That is because the elastic-plastic clear aligners make contact with the teeth and do not scratch or irritate the delicate oral tissues in the cheek and mouth, ensuring the utmost comfort of the patients. Children do not have to worry about breaking the wire or damaging the brackets while indulging in any rigorous sporting activities, nor do they have to follow dietary restrictions with Invisalign First.

Invisalign First is successful.

This treatment extends its efficacy by incorporating SmartTrack materials to predict tooth movement more accurately in order to reduce treatment time. SmartForce attachments increase force with each aligner; it correctly directs tooth movement, for greater ease from Invisalign First's technology standpoint.
