Invisalign First in Singapore

What is Invisalign First?

Invisalign First is a specialized orthodontic treatment designed for young children, typically between the ages of 6 and 10, to address early dental issues like crowding, spacing, underbite, overbite, crossbite, open bite, and narrow dental arches.

It focuses on managing and correcting the growth and development of your child’s teeth, ensuring proper alignment as they grow.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign First uses a series of clear, removable aligners that gently guide teeth into their desired positions without the discomfort or appearance of metal brackets and wires.

Did You Know?

It’s a myth that children cannot start orthodontic treatment until all their permanent teeth are in.

In fact, the outcomes can be even better if early signs of orthodontic issues are properly addressed!

Benefits of Invisalign First

Invisalign First offers numerous benefits:

Comfort: The smooth plastic aligners reduce the irritation and discomfort often associated with traditional braces, making them a gentler option for young children.
Removability: Since the aligners are removable, children can easily take them out when eating or brushing their teeth, maintaining better oral hygiene during treatment.
Custom Fit: Each aligner is custom-made to fit your child’s mouth perfectly, ensuring optimal results while allowing for the natural growth of their teeth and jaws.
Aesthetic Appeal: Invisalign First is nearly invisible, allowing children to smile confidently without the noticeable appearance of braces.
Early Intervention: By addressing dental issues early on, Invisalign First helps prevent more complex treatments later.

How is Invisalign First Fitted?

The process for fitting Invisalign First is simple. It starts with a consultation where the orthodontist evaluates your child’s teeth and jaw development. If Invisalign First is suitable, a digital scan of your child’s teeth is taken to create a customized treatment plan.

Once the aligners are ready, your child will begin wearing their first set. They will need to wear the aligners for most of the day, removing them only for eating and brushing. Over time, the aligners will be changed to gradually shift the teeth into their correct positions.

Maintenance and Duration

Invisalign First is relatively easy to maintain. Your child will need to clean their aligners daily by brushing them gently with a toothbrush and rinsing them with water. It’s important to ensure the aligners are worn for the recommended 20-22 hours per day for optimal results.

The length of treatment varies depending on your child’s dental needs, but most children complete their Invisalign First treatment in about 6 to 18 months.

Invisalign First vs Regular Invisalign

While both use the same clear aligner technology, Invisalign First is specifically designed for children with developing teeth and jaws. Regular Invisalign is typically used for teenagers and adults whose teeth and jaws have fully developed.

Focus on Growth: Invisalign First accommodates the ongoing growth of children’s mouths, addressing issues such as crowding, spacing, and arch development early on.
Interceptive Treatment: Invisalign First is considered an early or interceptive treatment, aimed at correcting dental issues before they become more severe.
Custom Design for Younger Patients: The aligners for Invisalign First are made with younger patients in mind, ensuring a comfortable and effective fit for smaller mouths.

With Invisalign First, children can enjoy a more comfortable, effective, and less conspicuous treatment experience.
