Help your child’s smile grow with confidence using Invisalign First – the child-friendly alternative to metal braces.
What is Invisalign for Kids 
Invisalign First is a specially designed clear aligner system made just for children aged 6+.
It gently guides growing teeth into better alignment and helps prevent future orthodontic issues – all without metal brackets or wires.

Is My child suitable for Invisalign?
Invisalign for kids is ideal for early orthodontic treatment. Your child may benefit if they have:
Crooked or crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth
Bite issues (underbite, overbite, crossbite)
Habits like thumb-sucking affecting their smile
We offer a free consultation to assess if Invisalign First is right for your child.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign First follows a simple, child-friendly process designed to gently guide growing teeth into the right position—without the hassle of metal braces.
3D scan – We take a digital scan of your child’s teeth using our iTero scanner.
Treatment Plan – A personalised aligner plan is created by Invisalign to show predicted results and timelines.
Wearing Aligners – Kids wear aligners 20–22 hours/day, removing them to eat and brush their teeth.
Check-Ups Every 6–8 Weeks – Quick visits to monitor progress and get new aligners.
