Invisalign First
At Dr. B Smiles Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign First for children who may benefit from early orthodontic treatment. Designed specifically for growing smiles, Invisalign First uses clear aligners to gently guide developing teeth and jaws into better alignment. If your child is between ages 6 and 10 and showing signs of crowding, spacing, or bite concerns, early clear aligner treatment may be a comfortable and effective solution.
What Is Invisalign First?
Invisalign First is a Phase 1 orthodontic treatment created for children whose permanent teeth are still erupting. Instead of traditional braces, Invisalign First uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually improve alignment and support proper jaw development.
The aligners are removable, smooth, and nearly invisible, making them a flexible option for kids who want to straighten their teeth without brackets or wires.
Why Early Orthodontic Treatment Matters
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children see an orthodontist by age 7. Early evaluation allows us to detect developing problems such as:
- Crowding
- Crossbites
- Narrow dental arches
- Spacing issues
- Protruding front teeth
- Early bite misalignment
When treated at the right time, we can guide jaw growth, create space for incoming permanent teeth, and potentially simplify future orthodontic treatment.
Benefits of Invisalign First
Invisalign First offers several advantages for growing patients:
- Clear, nearly invisible aligners
- Removable for eating and brushing
- No food restrictions
- Smooth material with no metal brackets
- Designed to adapt as new teeth erupt
- Fewer emergency visits compared to braces
At Dr. B Smiles Orthodontics, we focus on results-driven care while creating a fun, positive experience that helps kids feel confident throughout treatment.
Is Invisalign First Right for My Child?
Not every child requires early treatment. During your child’s consultation, we evaluate jaw growth, tooth development, and bite alignment to determine whether Invisalign First is appropriate or if monitoring is the better option.
If recommended, we will design a personalized plan to support healthy development and build a strong foundation for a future smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing early orthodontic treatment for your child is an important decision. Here are answers to common questions parents have about Invisalign First and how it works for growing smiles at Dr. B Smiles Orthodontics.
What Age Is Invisalign First Designed For?
Invisalign First is typically designed for children ages 6 to 10 who still have a mix of baby and permanent teeth. It focuses on guiding jaw growth and creating space for developing adult teeth during early orthodontic treatment.
How Is Invisalign First Different From Regular Invisalign?
Invisalign First is specifically created for growing children. The aligners are designed to accommodate erupting teeth and jaw development, while traditional Invisalign is generally used for teens and adults with fully developed permanent teeth.
Does My Child Have To Wear Invisalign First All Day?
Yes. For best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. They are removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is important to keep treatment progressing on schedule.
Is Invisalign First As Effective As Braces For Kids?
For many early orthodontic concerns, Invisalign First can be just as effective as braces. The ideal option depends on your child’s specific bite and growth pattern. Dr. B will recommend the most predictable solution during your consultation.
Will My Child Still Need Braces Later?
In some cases, Phase 1 treatment with Invisalign First reduces the need for more complex treatment later. However, many children will still benefit from a second phase of orthodontic treatment during the teen years to fully align permanent teeth.
