Invisalign First
We are pleased to have the opportunity to assist you with your dental care. Our goal is to provide the best quality dental treatments.
What is Invisalign First?
Restore Your Smile. Reclaim Your Confidence.
At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, we offer Invisalign First – a modern, child-friendly orthodontic solution specifically designed for kids aged 6 to 10 years who are still growing and developing their teeth and jaws.
Invisalign First uses a series of clear, removable aligners that are custom-made to gently guide your child’s teeth into the correct position. These aligners are worn for 20 to 22 hours a day and are replaced approximately every two weeks to keep pace with your child’s dental development.
This early intervention approach effectively treats issues such as:
🦷 Crowded teeth
🦷 Spacing problems
🦷 Narrow dental arches
🦷 Crossbites and other bite misalignments
By addressing these concerns early, Invisalign First helps establish a strong foundation for the eruption of permanent teeth—minimizing the need for complex treatments in the future.
🦷 When Do Kids Need Invisalign First?
At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, we recommend Invisalign First for children who are in the early mixed dentition phase—typically between the ages of 6 to 10 years—and show signs of developing orthodontic issues.
Unlike traditional braces or adult aligners, Invisalign First is specially designed to accommodate a child’s growing smile. It offers predictable results in a way that’s comfortable, aesthetic, and easy to manage for both kids and parents.
If your child has early signs of:
🦷 Crowding
🦷 Spacing
🦷 Narrow dental arches
🦷 Crossbite or overbite
…Invisalign First may be the ideal solution. It gently guides the development of teeth and jaws, simplifying future orthodontic treatment and making the overall process faster, smoother, and more child-friendly.

Classic Signs Your Child May Need Invisalign First
At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, we recommend Invisalign First for children showing early signs of jaw or tooth alignment issues. Identifying and addressing these concerns at the right time can ensure healthier dental development and reduce the need for complex treatments later.
Crowded Teeth
If your child’s mouth doesn’t have enough space for new permanent teeth, it can lead to crowding or misalignment. Invisalign First gently creates space, guiding teeth into proper alignment as they grow.
Gaps Between Teeth
Gaps may occur due to differences in tooth and jaw size. Invisalign First helps in closing unwanted spaces, improving both the function and appearance of your child’s smile.
Crossbite
When upper teeth sit behind the lower teeth, it’s known as a crossbite. This can lead to issues with chewing, speech, and jaw development. Invisalign First helps correct crossbites early, supporting balanced jaw growth.
Overbite or Underbite
An overbite or underbite may cause discomfort, speech issues, or uneven wear on teeth. Invisalign First can gradually align the bite, improving overall oral function and health.
