What is Invisalign first?
Invisalign First is a line of clear aligners designed specifically for children. Invisalign First consists of progressing through customized aligners to help develop young jaws and/or arches to make room for existing and incoming permanent teeth. In addition, Invisalign First addresses the following conditions:
Expansion
Gradually expands the arches, creating more room for permanent teeth. |
Esthetic Alignment
Increased spacing allows for erupting teeth to have adequate space, creating an esthetic smile. |
Crowding & Spacing
Expansion of the arches allows for optimal spacing to avoid teeth crowding. |
Malocclusions
Effective in treating issues such as overbite, underbite, and crossbite at an early stage. |
Dental Arch Development
The aligners can correct minor rotations and tilting of teeth, allowing for a more uniform arch. |
A-P Correction
Aims to align the upper and lower jaws properly to ensure a healthy bite and optimal oral function. |
Tooth Protrusions
The aligners are designed to leave space for erupting teeth, helping guide them into the optimal positions. |
