Early Treatment With Invisalign For Kids
Invisalign is a great way to get your child started on the path to straight teeth. Early treatment with Invisalign can help prevent more serious oral problems down the road, and it can also give your child a boost of confidence from having a straighter smile. Plus, they give your child the flexibility they want while still giving them the treatment they need.
Children’s teeth are very receptive to the Invisalign treatments, making them an excellent start for parents who are getting their children started in their journey to healthier, better teeth. Starting young will allow new teeth to come in straight and encourage adult teeth to orient themselves correctly while allowing your child to enjoy their usual foods and activities.
If you are considering starting your child in their orthodontic journey but are unsure if Invisalign is the right choice, visit or contact one of our convenient locations in Newtown or Monroe, Connecticut.
Is Invisalign Effective for Children?
Invisalign is an effective treatment for children who are not yet ready for full braces. It can help correct minor issues, such as crowding or gaps in the teeth. The clear plastic aligners should be worn at least 22 hours per day and gradually shift the teeth throughout the series of aligner changes. For the treatment to be as effective as possible, your child must be diligent with ensuring they put their aligners back in after eating, drinking, or brushing their teeth. Schedule a consultation for your child at one of our convenient locations throughout Connecticut to learn more about this flexible, convenient treatment option.
Benefits Of Invisalign For Kids
While Invisalign treatments can be used on children as young as seven, our orthodontists are aware that adjusting to orthodontic treatment takes some time. However, there are many benefits of Invisalign for children that allow them to continue the lifestyle they have, such as:
- Invisalign is virtually invisible, so your child can straighten their teeth without anyone knowing they are wearing them—no need to be insecure or hide their smiles.
- Invisalign is also removable, so your child can easily take them out to eat and brush their teeth.
- A big pro for children is that there are no dietary restrictions with Invisalign. Since the aligners can be removed while eating, your child can still enjoy the food and drinks they love. Just be sure they pop them back in as soon as they finish eating.
- Invisalign is a comfortable alternative to traditional braces. There are no wires or brackets to rub against the cheeks or gums. Invisalign is also an excellent option for children who play sports or participate in other activities where traditional braces may be uncomfortable or at risk of getting damaged.
Baum Braces Reviews
Everyone that I have seen has been so nice and I’m really proud of how well my expander is doing!- the experience of an 8 year old boy 😊
2 years going to Baum and we love it! My little girl just got braces and I have my consult this week. Worth the drive to get this service.
A couple weeks ago, my daughter had a consultation at Baum Braces. We had several friends who recommended them. The moment we walked in- they made us feel welcome. My daughter was very nervous and they were very understanding and compassionate. The receptionist on the phone as well as the one in the office were both friendly. She suggested the cute game-room, which helped to ease her nerves and distract her. They also offered a coffee/tea station for adults as well. The waiting area was clean and spacious. We did not wait long (about 5-8 minutes max). Nicole did our intake and took the scans. She was very kind, informative, and helped to make my daughter feel comfortable. My daughter was also very excited about the rewards/incentives they offer as well. Dr. Blanck met with us and was also very friendly. He understood my daughter's reservations and answered any questions we had. They were not pushy, were sensitive to diverse needs, and were very amiable. For these reasons, my daughter decided to start the treatment that day (which was HUGE, considering her sensory needs and nerves). From start to finish, we enjoyed our experience there and were ready to start our journey!
You are always kept well informed and environment is friendly and relaxed. Staff is very knowledgeable
Baum braces exceeded 5 ⭐️ ‘s. I came for a consultation with Michelle for my 8 yr old son. They explained everything to him before proceeding with photos and X-rays. He was so comfortable that he was ready for the braces procedure in the moment. The staff was very attentive and caring with him. Monica was very kind and he did so well for such a long procedure. Dr Baum you and your staff are amazing.
