Invisalign for Kids

What is Invisalign for Kids?

Invisalign for Kids uses a series of clear and flexible aligners that gently shift teeth into the right position over time. These aligners are custom-designed for each child’s developing smile. These unique tools are specially built to accommodate growing teeth and jaws.

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable and virtually invisible. This specification makes them a preferred option for many kids and parents alike. Treatment is comfortable, easy to manage, and backed by the expertise of our board-certified orthodontic team.

Why Kids (and Parents) Love Invisalign

No Brackets, No Wires, No Stress

Invisalign for kids is smooth and comfortable, with no poking wires or sharp brackets. This means fewer emergency visits and no need for uncomfortable wire adjustments.

• Removable for Meals and Brushing

Kids can take their aligners out to eat, brush, and floss. It ensures better oral hygiene and fewer food restrictions compared to traditional braces.

• Practically Invisible

Because the aligners are clear, Invisalign lets your child smile with confidence even during treatment. It’s ideal for school photos, performances, sports, and everyday confidence.

• Designed for Growing Smiles

Invisalign is built to expand and guide developing arches and jaws. It sets the stage for a healthier smile as your child grows.

Is My Child a Good Candidate for Invisalign for Kids?

Invisalign for Kids is ideal for children who:

• Are between the ages of 6 and 10 and have a mix of baby and adult teeth
• Need early orthodontic intervention or guidance
• Want a less noticeable alternative to braces
• Can wear aligners responsibly as recommended

The best way to find out if your child is a candidate is to schedule a complimentary consultation at our Haddonfield office. We’ll perform a complete evaluation and provide a clear explanation of what’s needed and how Invisalign can help.

What Can Invisalign for Kids Treat?

Clear aligners for Kids can help address:

• Crowding or spacing issues
• Narrow dental arches
• Overbites, underbites, or crossbites
• Early jaw development concerns
• Thumb-sucking habits or tongue thrusting
• Guidance of permanent teeth eruption

These issues, if caught early, can often be corrected more easily and prevent more serious orthodontic concerns down the line.

What to Expect During Treatment

• Complimentary Consultation

We start with a thorough exam, including digital scans and images. No goopy impressions needed! You’ll receive a custom treatment plan designed specifically for your child’s needs.

• Custom Aligner Creation

Using advanced 3D technology, Invisalign for kids is custom-crafted for your child’s teeth and growth patterns. Each set of aligners is slightly different, gradually shifting teeth into position.

• Wearing the Aligners

Your child will wear the aligners for about 20–22 hours per day. They can remove aligners only to eat, brush, or floss. Aligners are changed every 1–2 weeks depending on the treatment plan.

• Progress Monitoring

We’ll schedule regular check-ins (usually every 8–12 weeks) to ensure everything is moving as planned. These visits are quick, comfortable, and often involve fewer adjustments than traditional braces.

• A Confident & Healthy Smile

Once treatment is complete, we’ll provide a retainer to maintain results and guide the final stages of growth. Your child will walk away with a smile that’s ready to last a lifetime!

Invisalign vs. Braces: What’s Better for Kids?

While both traditional braces and Invisalign for kids are effective, Invisalign offers distinct advantages for many families:

• Easier brushing and flossing
• No dietary restrictions
• Less risk of mouth irritation
• Discreet appearance
• Fewer office visits

Our team will help you weigh the pros and cons of each option based on your child’s age, dental development, and unique needs.
