So it&#8217;s not a bad idea to shop around and get quotes from a few different providers.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>When it comes to pricing, keep in mind that individual quotes for Invisalign will vary \u2014 you can call <a href=\"tel:+18663830748\">866-383-0748<\/a> to find an Invisalign dentist near you who can give you a detailed price quote.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"how-does-invisalign-first-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Invisalign First work?<\/h2>    <p><strong>Invisalign for kids<\/strong> works by using a series of clear plastic aligners to align the jaw and straighten the teeth. The difference between this and the other Invisalign treatment options is that there are a few extra features designed to treat the growing jaw.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>These clear aligners don\u2019t just straighten teeth and align the bite, they actually expand and change the shape of your child\u2019s growing jaw. This is also known as palatial arch expansion, which is the process of applying pressure to the teeth to increase the dental arch width.<\/p>    <p>The first step to finding out if your child is eligible is to speak to an Invisalign dentist or orthodontist.

So, if your child&#8217;s regular NHS dentist is also an Invisalign doctor, they will need to be seen as a private patient. If they aren&#8217;t a provider, you can easily find one near you and book an appointment to find out if your child is eligible and more.<\/p>    <p>The next steps are as follows:&nbsp;<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-dentist-office-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"invisalign for children\" class=\"wp-image-27832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-dentist-office-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-dentist-office-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-dentist-office-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-dentist-office-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/10\/invisalign-dentist-office-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You will get to see a digital plan of your child&#8217;s treatment <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <ol class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>A 3D scan of your kid&#8217;s teeth and bite lets the dentist assess whether they would be a good candidate for treatment<\/li>    <li>A digital plan and overview of your child&#8217;s treatment will be generated<\/li>    <li>If your child is eligible for treatment they will receive their first set of custom aligners a few weeks later<\/li>    <li>The dentist will help fit the aligners and schedule check-up appointments <\/li>    <li>Your child will change aligners when the dentist recommends they are ready&nbsp;<\/li>    <li>Once your child has completed treatment they will need to wear a retainer to keep their teeth in position<\/li> <\/ol>    <p>At the end of treatment, your child\u2019s dentist or orthodontist will provide a retainer and give instructions for wearing it.

These include: <\/p>    <p><strong>Blue wear indicators<\/strong>: These indicators are at the back of the aligners and fade from blue to clear when the aligners have been worn for a certain amount of time. This is so dentists and parents know that the child has worn their aligners for the appropriate amount of time each day. <\/p>    <p><strong>Eruption compensators<\/strong>: These are special features that allow for canines, second premolars and second molars to grow in naturally without affecting the aligners and treatment. <\/p>    <p><strong>Mandibular advancement precision wings<\/strong>: These are wings on the top and bottom aligners that interlock and work together to align the jaw and move it into a better position.

However, that isn\u2019t true! <strong>Invisalign First<\/strong> is designed to treat a child&#8217;s growing jaw for early intervention of future orthodontic issues.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>Invisalign First is suitable for children between the ages of 6 &#8211; 10 while they still have most of their baby teeth. It can be used to expand the jaw, help with crowding and spacing issues, or even just for aesthetic purposes.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>There are a few special design features that make Invisalign First a good solution for your kids. These include blue wear indicators and eruption compensators. Your child may also need buttons and attachments on their aligners to help their treatment progress.&nbsp;<\/p>    <p>If you want to know whether your child is eligible for treatment with <strong>Invisalign for children<\/strong>, you can take Invisalign\u2019s free Smile Assessment for them. Just fill in your child&#8217;s details and get an answer back straight away. <\/p>    <p>However, this may be something you prefer to discuss in person with an Invisalign provider. If that&#8217;s the case, then use Invisalign&#8217;s search tool to find your nearest provider and book an appointment. <\/p>    <p>Keep in mind that before you opt for any at-home treatment, visit your dentist for a general check-up to ensure there aren&#8217;t any untreated cavities or gum disease before wearing aligners. Your dentist can also assess your overall suitability for any aligner treatment.<\/p>    <p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>   <div class=\"mega-button\"><a target=\"_blank\"
