Invisalign First is a clear aligner system designed specifically for growing children who need early orthodontic intervention. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign First uses removable, nearly invisible trays to address developing bite problems and crowding before all permanent teeth have erupted. At Elevated Smiles Dentistry in Bel Air, MD, Dr. Joshua Englander uses Invisalign First as part of Phase 1 orthodontic treatment for appropriate cases. Ask about Invisalign First at your child’s next appointment or book an early orthodontic evaluation to find out if it is a good fit.
By guiding tooth and jaw development early, Invisalign® First can prevent the need for more extensive treatment later. It addresses misalignment while the mouth is still developing, leading to better long-term stability and smile aesthetics. It is designed to help children avoid costly and traumatic extractions, all in the name of making space for the adult teeth to fit. It creates the space for the adult teeth to come in how they naturally should by using the primary teeth to shape the jaws from a young age when the bone is the most malleable and forgiving.
Invisalign® First aligners are easy to remove, making meals and brushing much simpler for kids. This improves daily comfort and hygiene, while also reducing the chances of food getting trapped like with traditional metal braces.
Made from smooth SmartTrack® material, Invisalign® First aligners are gentle on young mouths. They're nearly invisible, so children can feel more confident while undergoing treatment, without drawing attention to their smiles.

Happy Kids
Gentle, fun visits
Invisalign® First is an early orthodontic treatment designed specifically for children between the ages of 6 and 10. These clear aligners gently guide growing teeth into better alignment while supporting natural jaw development. By addressing issues such as crowding, spacing, and narrow arches during this critical growth period, Invisalign® First helps reduce the need for more complex treatment later. The aligners are custom-made, comfortable, and removable, making them ideal for younger patients who may not be ready for traditional braces.
