Invisalign First
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.

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.
