About the treatment

What Is Invisalign First?

Invisalign First is a set of custom-made clear aligners for kids, created specifically for early orthodontic treatment — also known as Phase 1 orthodontics or interceptive orthodontics. It gently guides growing teeth alignment while your child still has a mix of baby and adult teeth.

At Mint Dental Care, children's Invisalign uses a series of removable, almost invisible aligners to widen the dental arch, create space, and correct emerging bite problems — laying healthy foundations before all the permanent teeth arrive.

Designed for kids teeth straightening during active growth
Removable for eating, brushing, and special occasions
Tackles crowding and spacing before it worsens
Comfortable, clear alternative to early metal braces

Comparison

How Is Invisalign First Different from Regular Invisalign?

Both use the same clear-aligner technology, but Invisalign First is purpose-built for younger, growing mouths — while regular Invisalign is made for teens and adults with all their permanent teeth.

The right age

What Age Is Invisalign First Designed For?

Invisalign First is made for children roughly between 6 and 10 years old, during the "mixed dentition" stage when baby and adult teeth are both present — the ideal window for early orthodontic treatment.

Ages 6–10

The typical age range for Phase 1 orthodontics, while the jaw is still growing and easy to guide.

Mixed teeth

Ideal when your child still has a mix of baby teeth and newly erupted adult teeth.

Growing jaw

Active growth lets us encourage healthy growing teeth alignment and arch width.

Early check

A first orthodontic assessment around age 7 helps us catch issues at the best time.

What it treats

Dental Problems Invisalign First Can Treat in Children

As a form of interceptive orthodontics, Invisalign First can correct or reduce a wide range of developing problems early — often making later treatment simpler, shorter, or unnecessary.

CrowdingToo little space, leaving young teeth overlapped or twisted.

Gaps & spacingWide gaps that benefit from early guidance during growth.

Narrow archesExpanding the dental arch to make room for adult teeth.

Bite problemsEarly overbite, underbite, or crossbite that affects how teeth meet.

For parents

Tips for Parents: Helping Your Child Adjust to Invisalign First

A little encouragement goes a long way. These simple habits help your child stay comfortable and get the best results from their early orthodontic treatment.

Build a routine

Tie wear time to daily habits so the aligners go back in straight after meals and brushing.

Make it positive

Praise progress and small wins to keep your child motivated through children's Invisalign.

Ease early aches

Cool water or soft foods help during the first day or two with each new aligner.

Use the case

Keep a case handy so aligners are never wrapped in a napkin and accidentally thrown away.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hours a day does my child need to wear the aligners?01

For the best results, your child should wear their Invisalign First aligners about 20–22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush. Consistent wear is the single biggest factor in success.

Can my child eat and drink normally with Invisalign First?02

Yes — that's a big advantage. Your child simply removes the aligners to eat and drink, so there are no food restrictions. The aligners go back in right after brushing, with no sticky-food worries like with fixed braces.

What happens if my child loses an aligner?03

Don't panic. Have your child wear the previous aligner to hold their progress and contact us straight away — we'll arrange a replacement quickly. Keeping aligners in their case when not worn helps prevent this.

Does Invisalign First affect my child's speech?04

Most children adapt within a few days. There may be a slight lisp at first, but it usually disappears quickly as your child gets used to the smooth, thin aligners — and practising reading aloud helps.

How do we clean the aligners?05

Rinse the aligners every time they're removed and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush and cool water. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic, and always brush teeth before putting aligners back in.
