WHAT IS INVISALIGN FIRST?
Invisalign First is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment available for children whose teeth are still growing in. If you want to provide your child with the positive benefits of Invisalign, Invisalign First may be the solution for you.
WHY USE INVISALIGN FIRST?
Invisalign First is used to make corrections in the positioning of growing teeth. Invisalign First is available exclusively for growing children as an alternative to braces and other appliances. As a result, the Invisalign First system includes unique features for dental arch expansion and creates room for incoming adult teeth. Invisalign First can be used to treat orthodontic conditions including:
Crowding
Spacing
Expansion
Misalignment
Arch development
Tooth protrusions
Tooth interferences
HOW DOES INVISALIGN FIRST WORK?
Invisalign First works by expanding and contouring a child’s jawline through a method known as dental arch expansion. Dental arch expansion consists of gradually pushing a child’s teeth over time to increase the width of their dental arch. Every procedure for dental arch expansion begins with a free consultation, where an orthodontist will determine if your child is an appropriate candidate for Invisalign First. If approved, a professional from the Eisenberger & Adler Orthodontics team may begin taking x-rays and digital scans of your child’s smile that same day. Information from these scans will be sent to an Invisalign lab where a custom Invisalign First aligner will be custom-made just for your child.
WHEN CAN TREATMENT BEGIN WITH INVISALIGN FIRST?
Custom aligners take a few weeks to be ready. However, once the first aligner is ready, your child will be scheduled to return for an orthodontist to ensure a correct and comfortable fit. Invisalign First gently shifts teeth over time, and are eventually replaced with new retainers to complete the remaining phases of treatment. Depending on a child’s specific needs, the length of treatment time with Invisalign First varies on a case-by-case basis.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR INVISALIGN FIRST RESULTS?
The treatment time and results of Invisalign First vary based on individual factors such as the condition being treated, how your child responds to the device, and whether they wear aligners as directed. For optimal results, we recommend ensuring that your child wears their Invisalign First aligners as directed.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN FIRST?
Invisalign First provides multiple benefits for children with growing teeth. The benefits of Invisalign First include:
Allowing children to receive Invisalign treatment similar to adults and teens
Custom and precise planning for a child’s dental needs
Treatment for a variety of orthodontic issues
Creating room for incoming teeth
Supporting teeth and jawline formation
No diet restrictions or activity limitations
However, Invisalign First may not be the best option for all children. Invisalign First only works when being worn. Therefore, children who do not wear their aligners as directed may not see the desired results.
