Is there anything more charming than the toothless grin of a child? Perhaps just one thing – and that’s the straight teeth of a child who has the confidence to smile.
At Class 1 Orthodontics, we care about our younger patients and are committed to providing them with the best orthodontic treatment possible. How do we deliver this?
Why is early treatment important?
The Australian Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends children have an early consultation with an orthodontist between the ages of seven and 11, and at Class 1 Orthodontics we agree. The sooner you bring your child in to the orthodontic clinic for a consultation with our specialist orthodontists the sooner we can take a proactive approach to treatment.
Part of our proactive philosophy to children’s orthodontic care is using Invisalign First to prepare teeth for future treatment. Invisalign First aligners are Invisalign’s very own version of these virtually invisible aligners designed just for children. They’re suitable for our younger patients to wear from the age of six onwards.
What is Invisalign First?
You may think your child doesn’t need braces until they’re a teenager, but the reality could be very different. That’s what we can determine at your child’s early consultation. By bringing them into our clinic around the age of seven, we can identify if they are susceptible to any orthodontic problems and if any are showing signs of developing.
This age is recommended because most children have their adult teeth by now but their jaws are still malleable, which enables us to get great results from treatment. Invisalign First aligners are a great pre-treatment to help prepare your child’s teeth and jaws for any subsequent orthodontic treatment, while also reducing the extent of treatment they may require during their teenage years.
Customised to your child’s mouth, Invisalign First aligners are comfortable to wear ensuring a positive orthodontic experience.
Invisalign aligners are a registered medical device, you should always read and follow the label and the instructions of your treating orthodontist.
