A Comfortable, Clear Alternative to Braces for Growing Smiles
Parents in Hutchinson, KS, want the best for their children—including a healthy, confident smile! If your child needs orthodontic care, you may be wondering if Invisalign is an option for kids. The good news is that Invisalign First is designed specifically for younger patients, helping guide their developing smiles without the need for metal braces.
At Hansen Orthodontics, Dr. Hansen offers Invisalign for kids in Hutchinson, KS, giving parents a modern, comfortable, and convenient orthodontic solution for their children.
What Is Invisalign First?
Invisalign First is an early orthodontic treatment designed for kids who still have baby teeth or are in the early stages of getting permanent teeth. These clear, removable aligners gently create space, guide jaw growth, and correct minor alignment issues before they become more serious.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign First aligners are custom-made to fit comfortably and discreetly—allowing kids to straighten their teeth without brackets or wires.
Benefits of Invisalign for Kids
1. Clear & Comfortable
Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, making them more comfortable than traditional braces. With no brackets or wires, there’s less irritation to the gums and cheeks.
2. Removable for Easy Eating & Cleaning
Unlike braces, Invisalign First aligners are removable, which means:
- Kids can eat all their favorite foods without restrictions.
- Brushing and flossing are easier, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
3. Designed for Growing Smiles
Invisalign First can help with:
- Creating space for permanent teeth
- Correcting mild to moderate crowding
- Guiding jaw development for better alignment
- Addressing minor bite issues early
4. Fewer Orthodontic Visits
With Invisalign, there are no brackets or wires to adjust. Kids will visit Dr. Hansen every 6-8 weeks for a quick check-up and to receive their next set of aligners.
5. Boosts Confidence
For kids who feel self-conscious about braces, Invisalign First offers a discreet solution that allows them to smile confidently throughout treatment.
