How does Invisalign® for teens and
children work?

Much like Invisalign® for adults, we will first obtain a 3D scan of your child's teeth and create a personalised treatment plan. This will be used to construct a sequence of clear, removable aligners that are custom-designed for your child’s smile.

Using Dental Monitoring, we will track your child’s progress remotely and advise you when it is time to switch to the next set of aligners, usually every 7-10 days. The aligners will gradually shift the teeth into the desired position over time, resulting in beautiful smile results. Patients are required to wear aligners for 22 hours per day to achieve the desired treatment outcome.

Features of Invisalign® for teens and children

Invisalign® for teens and children has a few special added features to help your child get the most out of treatment.

Replacement aligners

Children sometimes lose things, we get that. That’s why the treatment plan for children includes a few complimentary replacement aligners, so a misplaced set won’t delay progress.

Compliance indicators

Invisalign® clear aligners for children come with small blue compliance dots that gradually fade as the aligners are worn. These indicators help you and your child track whether the aligners are being worn for the recommended amount of time to keep treatment on track.

Eruption tabs

Because children are still growing, Invisalign® aligners are designed with eruption tabs—spaces that allow room for second molars to emerge. These tabs help guide molar growth while ensuring the overall alignment stays on course.

Benefits of Invisalign® for teens and children

Choosing Invisalign® treatment for your child has several advantages, such as:

Easy dental care

Removable aligners make it easy to brush and floss as normal, keeping teeth clean and healthy.

Less irritation

Invisalign® aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable material that is custom-designed to fit your child’s smile and provide a more pleasant treatment experience.

Fewer appointments

You won’t need to bring your child into our practice as often, as we can track their progress remotely by using the Dental Monitoring app.

Predictable results

Using our cutting-edge 3D scanner, we can simulate your child’s predicted final smile results before they even begin treatment.

Invisalign® First

Invisalign® First is designed specifically for children ages 6-10 who are still developing their teeth and jaws. This treatment option can be used to intervene with early orthodontic issues such as crowding and spacing, and create space for incoming teeth.
