The Invisalign Process
First Visit & Smile Evaluation
We start with a gentle exam and a conversation with you and your child about their smile goals. Using photos and X-rays, we will check how their teeth are developing and if clear aligners would likely be a good fit. This is a great time for our team to answer any questions and explain what to expect in simple, kid-friendly terms.
Digital Scan & Personalized Plan
Instead of messy impressions, we use a quick digital scanner to create a 3D image of your child’s teeth. With special software, we map out how their teeth will move and show a preview of their future smile. Parents and kids love seeing the transformation before treatment even begins.
Custom Aligners Arrive
When the aligners are ready, we fit the first set and, if needed, add small tooth-colored bumps to help guide movement. We can teach your child how to put them in, take them out, and keep them clean. Most kids adapt quickly, and because aligners are nearly invisible, they feel more confident wearing them.
Progress Checks & New Aligners
Your child will switch to a new set of aligners every 1–2 weeks. We’ll see them in the office every couple of weeks to make sure everything is moving as planned. These visits are quick and positive, giving kids encouragement and keeping parents updated on progress.
Retainers & Keeping Their Smile Straight
Once treatment is finished, your child will receive a custom retainer to keep their new smile in place. We’ll guide you on when and how often they need to wear it. With good retainer habits and regular dental visits, your child’s beautifully straight smile can last a lifetime.
Frequently Asked Questions
To keep Invisalign aligners clean and effective, patients should rinse them every time they remove them and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material. Clean them with Invisalign cleaning crystals or a mild, clear soap. Always store aligners in their case when not in use to prevent loss or damage. Good oral hygiene also helps keep both clear aligners and teeth in great condition.
For best results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. They should ideally only be removed for eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear ensures teeth shift according to the treatment plan and prevents delays in progress. Skipping wear time can extend treatment or affect results. By committing to wearing aligners as instructed, your child will likely achieve a straighter, healthier smile within the expected timeframe.
Invisalign is a great option for responsible teens and adults who want a discreet way to straighten their teeth. It works well for mild to moderate alignment issues, such as crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, or crossbites. Patients must be committed to wearing their aligners consistently and maintaining good oral hygiene. During your child’s consultation, we’ll evaluate their bite and discuss their orthodontic preferences and needs to help determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for their smile and lifestyle.
Most patients find Invisalign to be very comfortable compared to traditional braces. Your child may feel mild pressure or soreness when switching to a new set of aligners, but this usually fades within a few days as teeth adjust. Since there are no wires or brackets, you avoid the irritation often caused by metal braces. Overall, Invisalign offers a gentle, convenient way to straighten smiles with minimal discomfort.
Invisalign is an investment in both your child’s smile and oral health. While costs vary depending on case complexity and treatment length, it is often comparable to traditional braces. Many families find it worthwhile due to the comfort, convenience, and discreet appearance Invisalign provides. Our office offers flexible payment plans and can check if your dental insurance includes orthodontic benefits to help make treatment more affordable. We’ll review all of your options during your child’s consultation.
