Invisalign First is a groundbreaking treatment designed to cater to the unique dental needs of children, particularly those between the ages of 6 and 10. As children grow, so do their smiles. This innovative treatment focuses on Phase 1 orthodontics, which is crucial for developing young jaws and arches, ensuring there's enough room for both existing and incoming permanent teeth. Dr. Zala at Little Smiles of Eastvale is proud to offer Invisalign First, a treatment that combines the effectiveness of traditional orthodontics with the convenience and aesthetics of Invisalign technology.
Absolutely! Invisalign First is specifically tailored for children in their growing years. It's a perfect time to start orthodontic treatment, as the young jawbones are still developing, so it can correct many bite and alignment issues early, before they become more complex and difficult to treat. This treatment can effectively address issues like crowding, spacing, and narrow dental arches, promoting proper growth and alignment as children’s permanent teeth are erupting. The clear aligners are removable, making oral hygiene easier for kids, and they're designed for comfort, minimizing the discomfort often associated with traditional braces. With Invisalign First, children can enjoy a more comfortable and less conspicuous treatment experience.
Invisalign First can transform children's smiles with custom clear aligners that grow with them.

Invisalign First aligners are customized for growing children, ensuring that they cater to the changing dental landscape of young patients. This custom fit allows for more effective and efficient treatment of various orthodontic issues.
The smooth, clear design of Invisalign First aligners provides a level of comfort and aesthetics not typically found in traditional braces. Children can smile confidently and eat their favorite foods without the worry of metal brackets and wires.
Since these aligners are removable, kids can maintain their oral hygiene routine more effectively. Brushing and flossing are simpler, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease during orthodontic treatment.
The process begins with a detailed assessment of your child’s dental structure. Using advanced imaging technology, Dr. Zala creates a precise treatment plan, ensuring that each aligner is perfectly tailored to your child's mouth.
Your child will receive a series of custom-made aligners, each to be worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set. These aligners gently and gradually move teeth into the desired position.
Throughout the treatment, regular check-ups with Dr. Zala are essential. These appointments ensure that the treatment is progressing as planned and allow for any necessary adjustments.
Invisalign aligners are designed to be as comfortable as possible. However, some children may experience mild discomfort or pressure when they start wearing a new set of aligners. This is a normal part of the process and usually subsides within a few days as the mouth adjusts to the aligners. The discomfort is typically less than what's experienced with traditional braces, as there are no wires or brackets to cause irritation. If your child experiences prolonged discomfort, it's recommended to contact Dr. Mitesh Zala for advice. Remember, Invisalign's aligners are removable, allowing for a break if needed, but they should be worn for the instructed amount of time each day for the best results.
The treatment time for both braces and Invisalign varies depending on the complexity of the case and the child's individual needs. However, generally speaking, Invisalign often requires less time than traditional braces. This is because Invisalign's advanced technology allows for the simultaneous movement of multiple teeth, potentially reducing treatment time. On average, Invisalign treatment can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months, while traditional braces typically require 18 to 24 months. However, it's important to remember that each patient is unique, and Dr. Mitesh Zala at Little Smiles of Eastvale will provide a more accurate timeline during the consultation.
Cleaning Invisalign trays for kids is a simple, straightforward process. First, remove the aligners from the mouth. Rinse them under lukewarm water to wash away saliva and food particles. Avoid using hot water as it can warp the plastic. Then, use a soft toothbrush and a non-abrasive toothpaste to gently brush the aligners on both sides. Alternatively, you can use a specialized Invisalign cleaning solution or crystals. After cleaning, rinse the aligners thoroughly and let them air dry before putting them back in the mouth. It's crucial to clean the aligners daily to maintain oral hygiene and prevent discoloration or odor.
Absolutely! Invisalign is a highly effective treatment for correcting an overbite in children. This modern orthodontic solution uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually shift the teeth into their proper positions. The aligners are designed to apply gentle, controlled force to the teeth, correcting overbites with precision and predictability. It's important to note that the success of Invisalign treatment largely depends on the child's cooperation and commitment to wearing the aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours per day.
