What Is Invisalign® First?
Invisalign® First is a clear aligner treatment created specifically for children ages 6–10 who are in the Phase 1 orthodontic stage. At this early age, kids’ jaws and dental arches are still growing, which makes it an ideal time to guide proper development. Invisalign First helps create space for incoming adult teeth and correct early orthodontic problems before they become more complex.
At Dream Smiles in Raleigh, our team offers Invisalign® First as a gentle, child-friendly option for early orthodontic care. These aligners are designed to be comfortable, removable, and easier for young patients to adapt to compared to traditional Phase 1 braces.
How Invisalign® First Helps Kids
Invisalign First® aligners can address a wide range of early orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowding – creating room for adult teeth
- Spacing concerns
- Narrow arches – widening the dental arch for healthier development
- Overbites and underbites
- Crossbites
- Open bites
- Minor tooth movement to improve appearance and function
By correcting these concerns early, Invisalign First® helps set the stage for a healthy, well-aligned smile as your child grows.
Benefits of Early Treatment
Starting orthodontic care during the Phase 1 stage offers meaningful advantages. Early treatment can:
-
- Prevent more serious bite and alignment issues from developing
- Reduce the need for extractions or complex treatment later
- Shorten the length of future orthodontic care during the teen years
- Support proper facial and jaw development
- Increase confidence by improving the appearance of your child’s smile
At Dream Smiles, we take a personalized, supportive approach to Phase 1 orthodontics. Our goal is to help your child develop a healthy smile with treatment options that are comfortable, gentle, and tailored to growing kids.
