Invisalign First™
INVISALIGN®️ ALIGNERS FOR KIDS
At Pediatrics on Park, we’re committed to ensuring your child’s journey to a perfect smile is not only effective but also comfortable and convenient. Invisalign First™, designed specifically for children’s growing mouths, offers a revolutionary approach to straightening children’s teeth in South Plainfield, NJ, without the need for traditional metal braces.
What is Invisalign First™?
Invisalign First™ is specially designed for children as an orthodontic treatment alternative. The system works to correct dental issues early on, using clear aligners tailored to each child’s specific needs. This method is beneficial for managing growing children’s spacing, crowding, and other alignment concerns. Utilizing the same advanced technology as the original Invisalign system, Invisalign First™ clear aligners are custom-made, ensuring a comfortable, barely visible fit that gently guides teeth into their correct positions.
Features of Invisalign First™
Invisalign First™ aligners are made from a clear, flexible material that fits snugly over a child’s teeth. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are removable, making it easier for children to maintain oral hygiene. The clear design also means they are less noticeable, which can appeal to young patients concerned about their appearance.
Benefits of Invisalign First™
One of the main advantages of Invisalign First™ is its aesthetic appeal due to the aligners being virtually invisible. This can help children feel more confident during the treatment period. Additionally, because the aligners are removable, children can eat and clean their teeth without the restrictions typically associated with metal braces. Finally, Invisalign First™ can address various dental issues in children, making it a versatile treatment option.
The Invisalign First™ Treatment Process
The Invisalign First™ treatment process is very straightforward. It starts with a consultation appointment, where we will assess your child’s needs and take precise digital impressions. These impressions are used to create a customized treatment plan showcasing the expected step-by-step transformation.
Once the aligners are ready, we’ll invite you and your child back for a fitting to ensure the first set fits perfectly. Your child will receive new aligners every few weeks, gradually moving their teeth into the desired position.
Regular check-ups are essential throughout the treatment to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. Our team is always here to provide guidance, answer questions, and support your child’s journey to a beautiful smile.
What to Know About Invisalign First™
Wearing the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day is recommended for optimal results. So, even though the aligners are removable, it’s important to emphasize to your child the importance of wearing them for most of the day. Most people find that it’s convenient to remove the aligners while eating and reinsert them after the meal or snack is over.
Oral hygiene must be maintained during treatment. Regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing should be done with the aligner removed. The aligner itself should also be cleaned and disinfected according to your orthodontist’s instructions. Afterward, the aligner should be placed back in the mouth.
The level of maturity of the child is important.The child must be responsible and able to take care of the aligner.
This includes things like:
- Placing the aligner in a clean storage container when not in use.
- Keeping track of/not losing the aligner.
- Safe handling with clean hands.
- Not dropping or abusing the aligner by mishandling.
- Not sharing the aligner or letting other kids “try it out”.
Unlike other orthodontic treatments, such as traditional braces, Invisalign First™ aligners can be handled by the child, so it’s essential to consider this when considering choosing Invisalign First.
