Advantages Of Invisalign for Children
Metal braces are the common go-to for those seeking orthodontic treatment for their crooked teeth. Though effective, many children experience several disadvantages with this option.
In recent years, Invisalign has become a popular alternative to braces among children and adults. Invisible braces for children offer several advantages over other treatment options. They are:
Invisalign is practically invisible
They are made from a transparent plastic. Because of this, it is much less noticeable than metal braces. Children often feel self-conscious about the brackets and metal wires of traditional braces. This can cause them to be worried about getting teased by their classmates.
Clear aligners are virtually invisible. This means children can continue to feel confident about their smiles while they are wearing them. Plus, you can be at ease knowing your child is not experiencing any embarrassment.
Clear aligners for children are more comfortable
Children are actively participating in many activities. They are also growing, and their mouths are changing. This can make wearing traditional metal braces uncomfortable for them. The components can rub against the inside of their mouths. This may lead to sores, discomfort, or pain.
Invisible aligners are made from a smooth plastic material. So they’re much more comfortable and less likely to cause pain. This way, they can focus on enjoying their childhood and being kids!
Invisalign promotes better dental hygiene
Because Invisalign can be removed, it’s much easier for children to have better oral health. Tooth decay is the most common childhood dental issue, but it is also preventable.
These removable braces allow them to brush and floss their teeth as normal, unlike metal braces that trap food and make cleaning difficult. This can greatly help reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease. Plus, keeping their aligners clean is simple by rinsing them with water.
Children can still eat the foods they love with Invisalign
Children need to enjoy their favourite foods. Because these invisible braces are removable, there are no food restrictions. With traditional braces, children often have to give up their favourite snacks to avoid damaging them.
With Invisalign, children can eat and drink whatever they want! Still, reminding them to remove the aligners before eating and brush their teeth afterwards is important. Plus, a healthy and balanced diet is still important for dental health.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Invisalign for Children
What does it mean to be an Invisalign Diamond Provider?
Smile Space is proud to be an Invisalign Diamond Provider. This is a very high level of distinction that Invisalign can bestow on a provider. To achieve this ranking, the dentists at our clinic had to meet specific criteria regarding Invisalign training, case volume, and success rate.
This means that our team is qualified to provide this treatment to our patients. And we have delivered Invisalign to many patients with great results. In other words, you can trust us with your oral health.
How does Invisalign treatment straighten my child's teeth?
Invisalign treatment works by the gradual movement of your child’s teeth into position. Gentle pressure is applied to them, which moves them a little at a time. This is done through a series of customised, plastic aligners that must be worn for at least 22 hours daily.
Every few weeks, your child will move on to the next tray in the series until their treatment is complete. As they wear each one, their teeth will continue moving until they achieve straight teeth and a confident smile.
How long will it take for my child to finish Invisalign treatment?
Treatment time depends on different factors. Some factors are the severity of your child’s teeth misalignment, compliance with wearing the aligners, and oral hygiene. In general, Invisalign for children can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months. It must be noted that this is just an estimate. The actual length of dental treatment may be more or less, depending on your child’s case.
If you want to be certain, schedule a consultation with a qualified dentist. They can give you a more accurate timeline once they have assessed your child’s teeth.
Can aligners be worn by my child while playing sports?
Are there any food or drink restrictions during
Invisalign treatment?
No, Invisalign treatment does not require any food or drink restrictions. Your child can eat and drink whatever they want during their aligner treatment! However, we do recommend that you help them brush their teeth after every meal and before putting their Invisalign back in. By doing so, they can keep their smile clean and healthy. Limiting sugary snacks and drinks is also advised, as these can cause tooth decay.
How do I clean my child's aligners?
It is very simple to clean invisible braces for children. After taking them out, gently brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush using water and liquid soap. Do not use toothpaste as it may contain abrasives that can scratch the surface.
Make sure to remove any food particles that have accumulated on the aligners. Then, rinse them thoroughly and use a clean cloth to dry them before putting them back in. You may also soak them in water and liquid soap solution for thirty minutes to an hour.
