Invisalign First® Braces for Kids

We are proud to offer Invisalign for kids at our Longwood and Lake Mary orthodontic offices! Thanks to the experience of our amazing Invisalign orthodontists, Dr. Wiewiora and Dr. Dunn, we can treat young patients with this modern form of braces for kids.

The Importance of Early Orthodontic Treatment

While the baby teeth are still emerging is the perfect time to consider orthodontic treatment (or at least an orthodontic assessment). Our orthodontists are able to detect orthodontic conditions that are likely to become problematic if left untreated.

Early orthodontic treatment can lead to shorter treatment periods and improved facial symmetry for children. Whereas, conditions left untreated may require jaw surgery or various appliances to correct later in life. Once the jaw bones are done growing, it also takes additional care to correct any associated facial abnormalities or asymmetries.

Why Invisalign First Braces for Kids?

Because growing mouths require gentle care! Invisalign First clear aligners are customized to fit your child’s mixed dentition of baby teeth and adult teeth. These aligners guide the baby teeth into a healthy alignment as they’re emerging.

Invisalign First aligners are specialized to mold the foundation for adult teeth to erupt and stabilize in the proper alignment. These aligners are comfortable, clear and removable!

Without metal brackets and wires, Invisalign First aligners allow for greater hygiene. Your child will remove his or her aligners to eat, drink (liquids other than water), brush and floss their teeth. Food won’t get stuck within braces, and aligners can be removed and cleaned regularly.

Conditions Treated with Invisalign First

With Invisalign First clear aligners, we can treat a number of orthodontic conditions, including the following:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Misaligned bite conditions (overbite, underbite, open-bite, crossbite)
  • Narrow dental arch
  • Gapped teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Teeth spacing
  • Thumb-sucking or tongue-thrusting

What is the best age to get braces?

The AAO (American Association of Orthodontists) recommends that children receive their first orthodontic exam around age 7. Around this age, baby teeth are shedding and permanent teeth are emerging. This is the ideal time for our orthodontists to identify impending problematic conditions that will soon require professional attention.

We will never suggest unnecessary orthodontic treatment for your child! We only want what’s best for their smile. It’s our goal to assess your child’s condition and determine whether orthodontic treatment will improve his or her quality of life.

    What Invisalign Can Fix

    invisalign® For Gap Teeth

    Gaps between your teeth are a spacing issue whereby you will have extra space between two or more of your teeth. The issue that can arise is that food can get stuck in that area, causing your gums to become tender and sore, which can lead to gum disease. Invisalign for gaps can straighten your teeth to the point of eliminating the gap, preventing any serious damage.

    invisalign® For Overbite

    An overbite is when the front row of your teeth overlaps the bottom row of your teeth. Most people have at least a small overbite, but if your top layer overlaps your bottom layer significantly, that is known as a deep bite. This can lead to numerous issues, including your teeth wearing down and significant pain in your jaw. Invisalign for overbite can align your teeth, so your top row isn’t so prominent in the front.  Invisalign will reduce the overbite to 5 to 25 percent, the ideal number for most people.

    invisalign® For Underbite

    If you close your mouth and the lower row of your teeth overlaps the top row of your teeth, then you have an underbite. This can be caused by your lower jaw being too far forward and can make it hard to chew, speak clearly and can wear down your teeth. Invisalign for underbite can fix most underbite, but in severe cases, patients will need to have an Invisalign treatment coupled with surgery.

    invisalign® For Crossbite

    A crossbite is when you close your mouth and some of your upper teeth sit inside of your lower teeth as opposed to outside of them. This can lead to your teeth wearing down or chipping, as well as your gums receding or making notches above your gum line. The cumulative damage can lead to bone loss. Invisalign for crossbite will realign your teeth so the teeth in your top row don’t sit behind the teeth in your bottom row.

    invisalign® For Open Bite

    When your mouth is closed, if your upper row and bottom row of teeth don’t touch, that means you have an open bite. Normally a problem with your jawbone or a bad mix of baby and permanent teeth when you are a child, this can make it hard to chew and bite into some foods, including apples. Invisalign for open bite will force your teeth out, allowing them to touch when your mouth is closed.

    invisalign® For Crowded Teeth

    This condition occurs when the jaw doesn’t have enough room for your teeth to fit normally, causing them to bunch up, overlap and twist, sometimes getting pushed to the front or the back. Crowded teeth can make it hard to brush and floss well. Then it’s easier for plaque, tartar, and harmful bacterial to build up – which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Your crowded teeth can also get worse over time. Invisalign can effectively move crowded teeth into correct position and alignment.

    Not only does Invisalign fix your smile, but it prevents potential oral disasters. Visit our office in Lake Mary or Longwood to get a quick digital scan and be on your way to a perfect smile with Invisalign!
