Invisalign First for Kids! How it can benefit your child?
What is Invisalign First?
Invisalign First is the clear invisible aligners used as an alternative to braces for kids between the ages of 7 to 11 who need interceptive orthodontic treatment.
It is specifically designed by keeping the needs of growing kids in mind.
No two children of the same age will have the similar eruption pattern and sequence of the permanent teeth that is why it is very important for you as a parent to get your child’s teeth checked and monitored at this age for eruption pattern.
How to know if my child needs early treatment?
The best way to find out if your child can benefit from early treatment by Invisalign First, is to get an examination done by an orthodontist/dentist.
However, we have described some tell-tale signs in our blog “7 Dental Problems to look out for in your 7-year-old child that may require Invisalign for kids or Braces”.
How early treatment using Invisalign First will benefit your child?
Since the child is in his growing phase between the ages of 7 to 11, treatment at this age has several benefits:
1. It guides the growth of facial and jaw bones.
2. It provides adequate space for the permanent teeth thus creating a better environment for the growing teeth.
3. It corrects your child’s bite to help chewing, swallowing and speech.
4. Lowers the risk of trauma to protruded front teeth.
5. Improves self-esteem and self-confidence.
