What is Invisalign® for Children?

Invisalign® is becoming increasingly popular with children who feel self-conscious about wearing a brace or, want an invisible alternative to fixed braces.

How does it Work?

The Invisalign® system works with modern digital technology to give you a bespoke treatment outcome.

Treatment starts by taking a digital scan of your teeth which is sent to Invisalign® to produce a digital simulation called a ClinCheck®.

This simulation gives you an idea of what your teeth will look like at the end of treatment. An example ClinCheck® is shown below.
