ProviderInvisalign for Young Smiles Across Seattle, Shoreline & Beyond
Invisalign First is an orthodontic treatment option designed especially for the growing smiles of children between the ages of six and 10.
North Seattle Orthodontics, our orthodontist uses this innovative treatment to simultaneously straighten teeth and expand the arches, guiding the healthy development of your child's mouth.
Invisalign First is used on children with baby teeth only when necessary to create space for adult teeth to erupt in the proper positions, to correct certain functional issues, or to correct crossbites.
Most kids who need orthodontic intervention to correct misaligned teeth or jaws typically begin treatment with Invisalign between the ages of 11 and 13, when all their permanent teeth have grown in.
Flexible Payment Plans to Make You Smile
At North Seattle Orthodontics, we proudly offer zero-interest and no money down payment plans to help make orthodontic care more affordable. After all, finances should never be a barrier to a healthy smile.
Consultations & Monitoring for Children
Children should have their first orthodontic evaluation around the age of seven. This visit will provide your specialist with the opportunity to determine if any orthodontic treatment is recommended and the optimal time for treatment to begin.
If early treatment is recommended, we will work with you to get your child's treatment started right away. If not, we offer free assessment appointments every six to 12 months until your child is ready for treatment.
How is Invisalign First Different?
Compared to standard Invisalign aligners, Invisalign First has a smaller construction to fit children's mouths and baby teeth.
It also has an Eruption Compensation feature that allows the aligns to accommodate baby teeth falling out and adult teeth growing in seamlessly.
Here are a few features of Invisalign First that may make it a great choice for kids:
- No friction from metal brackets.
- Removable aligners that make it easier to maintain thorough oral hygiene.
- Removable aligners also mean no food restrictions.
- Clear aligners that are discreet when worn for more self-conscious kids.
