Clear, Comfortable Orthodontics for Growing Smiles
For young children who need early orthodontic care, Invisalign First offers a modern, less invasive solution designed specifically for developing mouths. At Reichheld Ting Orthodontics, we provide this clear aligner system as part of our early treatment approach for patients across Acton, Billerica, Lowell, and Westford, MA.
Invisalign First gives children a comfortable, removable, and discreet option to gently guide their teeth and jaws into proper alignment—without the look and feel of traditional braces.
What Is Invisalign First?
Invisalign First is an advanced orthodontic system made for children ages 6 to 10 who are in the early mixed dentition stage—when they still have a mix of baby and permanent teeth. Using custom-made, clear aligners, Invisalign First can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, including spacing, crowding, and bite alignment.
This early-stage treatment helps:
- Create room for incoming permanent teeth
- Correct jaw alignment and mild bite issues
- Address arch development
- Eliminate habits like tongue thrusting or thumb-sucking
- Build confidence with a nearly invisible solution
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign First aligners are removable, which makes brushing, flossing, and eating easier for growing kids.
Is Invisalign First Right for Your Child?
An orthodontic evaluation around age 7 is the best way to determine if Invisalign First is the right fit for your child’s smile goals. Our orthodontists evaluate jaw growth, dental spacing, and functional habits to recommend the most effective and least invasive option.

- Early crowding or spacing
- Narrow arches
- Crossbite, underbite, or overbite
- Protruding teeth
- Oral habits that affect tooth development

Invisalign First vs. Braces for Kids
Both Invisalign First and traditional braces can be highly effective during early orthodontic treatment. However, they offer different benefits depending on your child’s lifestyle and needs.
Advantages of Invisalign First:
- Nearly invisible appearance that boosts confidence
- Removable for easy brushing, flossing, and meals
- No food restrictions—kids can eat what they enjoy
- Smooth plastic aligners reduce mouth irritation
- Fewer emergency visits due to broken brackets or wires
Advantages of Braces:
- Effective for more complex bite and alignment issues
- Fixed in place—no need to worry about misplacing aligners
- Sometimes a better option for kids who might not wear aligners consistently
