Invisalign® is an orthodontic treatment that helps teens and adults straighten crooked and misaligned teeth. But did you know that children can receive treatment with Invisalign as well? Invisalign First can offer phase one treatment for children 6 to 8.
This treatment allows patients to align their smiles when they have some adult teeth as well as primary teeth. Dr. Maria Tapia and Dr. Georgia Haddad provide their younger patients with Invisalign First as an orthodontic option in their Oxnard, CA, office. Having alternative ways to create space in the smile can make for a more comfortable treatment.
Invisalign First can not only fix the look of crooked teeth but also the fit of the bite, making it easier to bite and speak. Patients and their parents can also see results early because of how the molars expand first, which helps the incisors simultaneously align.
We recommend that younger patients start visiting the dentist around age six so we can keep track of any developing bite or spacing problems. Dr. Tapia and Dr. Haddad will consult with you and your child to see if Invisalign First is a viable option.
To begin treatment, Dr. Tapia and Dr. Haddad will take quick digital impressions of the teeth. This process can take as little as one minute using iTero 5D technology. Once the aligners have been completed and sent to Dr. Tapia and Dr. Haddad, they will make sure that the primary aligners fit comfortably.
