Get the Smile You Deserve with Invisalign® for Kids in Downtown Vancouver

Invisalign® First is a clear aligner system designed for growing children. At Enhance Dental Centre in Downtown Vancouver, we offer kid-friendly orthodontic care that’s comfortable, removable, and easy to manage — without brackets or wires. Help your child start early with a smile that fits their future.

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® First is a clear aligner system made for growing kids. It gently guides teeth into better positions without wires or metal braces. The aligners are custom-fit, removable, and nearly invisible — offering an easy, comfortable way to start orthodontic care during the important early years of dental development.

Why Choose Invisalign®?

Discreet and Kid-Friendly

Clear aligners blend in with your child’s smile, helping them feel confident at school or in photos—without bulky brackets or teasing concerns.

Comfortable and Removable

Smooth aligners won’t irritate gums. Kids can remove them for meals, brushing, or sports — making it easier to stay clean and active.

Preview the Smile Ahead

ClinCheck® technology shows you and your child a 3D preview of their expected results — so everyone starts treatment with clear goals.

Fewer Appointments Needed

Invisalign® usually needs fewer visits than braces, saving time for busy families balancing school, sports, and activities.

How Does Invisalign® Work for Kids?

1. Consultation & Assessment

We examine your child’s teeth and bite to confirm if Invisalign® First is the right early orthodontic option for their developing smile.

2. Digital 3D Scan

A quick, comfortable scan creates a precise model of your child’s mouth — no messy impressions or discomfort, just accurate, kid-friendly diagnostics.

3. Custom Aligner Plan

We design a step-by-step plan using ClinCheck® to guide tooth movement, jaw development, and space for incoming adult teeth during growth stages.

4. Aligner Fitting

Your child receives their first aligners, with clear instructions on how to wear and care for them daily at home and school.

5. Progress Checkups

We schedule check-ins every few weeks to monitor tooth movement, make adjustments, and ensure treatment stays aligned with your child’s growth.

6. Completion & Retention

Once alignment goals are met, your child may receive retainers to keep teeth in place and support continued healthy development.

Day-to-Day Use of Invisalign® for Kids

Day-to-Day 1
1. Wear Aligners Daily

Your child should wear aligners 20–22 hours per day. Remove only for meals, brushing, flossing, or drinking anything besides plain water.

Day-to-Day 2
2. Remove for Meals

Take aligners out before eating or drinking. This keeps trays clean and prevents damage, while letting kids enjoy their usual meals without restrictions.

Day-to-Day 3
3. Clean Aligners Gently

Rinse aligners daily and brush them with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Avoid toothpaste or hot water, which can scratch or warp them.

Day-to-Day 4
4. Change on Schedule

Switch to new aligners every 1–2 weeks as directed. Staying on schedule is essential for timely results and supporting your child’s growth.

Day-to-Day 5
5. Track Daily Use

Use simple tools like checklists or stickers to build good habits. Consistent wear is key for success with Invisalign® First during early treatment.

Caring for Your Invisalign® Aligners

Rinse aligners after each removal and brush them daily with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Avoid toothpaste and hot water. Do not eat or drink (except water) while wearing them. Always store aligners in their case to prevent loss, contamination, or damage during your child’s Invisalign® treatment.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Invisalign® First is designed for kids aged 6–10 with early signs of crowding, spacing, or bite issues. Ideal candidates can follow basic instructions and have a mix of baby and adult teeth. A dental consultation will confirm if early aligner treatment is appropriate for your child’s smile development.

Types of Teeth that Invisalign® Can Treat

Overbite

Top teeth stick out too far. Invisalign® shifts them back into proper alignment for better function.

Underbite

Lower teeth sit in front of uppers. Aligners gently reposition them to improve bite and balance.

Open Bite

Front teeth don’t meet when biting. Invisalign® helps close the gap for better function and speech.

Crossbite

Upper teeth bite inside the lowers. Invisalign® improves alignment and reduces wear on developing teeth.

Crowded Teeth

Too little space causes overlap. Invisalign® creates room and aligns the smile during dental development.

Gap Teeth

Extra space between teeth affects function. Invisalign® closes gaps and supports a more aligned smile.
