Clear Aligners for Children

Guide development now to simplify treatment later

Clear aligners for children help orthodontists guide erupting permanent teeth or create space in a small jaw while a child’s bones are still growing. Clear aligners benefit kids because they’re still learning proper brushing and flossing habits, so removing aligners makes oral hygiene much easier.

How Clear Aligners Work for Kids

OrthoFX clear aligners for kids are designed with growing smiles in mind. After a digital scan of your child’s teeth, a series of custom aligners is created to fit their unique dental structure. These aligners gently move the teeth, allowing for efficient treatment that can address issues such as spacing, crowding, and bite problems.

STEP 1

Custom 3D Scan

We take a quick digital scan to map your teeth and create your custom treatment plan.

STEP 2

Your Aligners are Crafted

Your custom-made clear aligners are created to gently shift your teeth, step by step, toward your dream smile.

The Advantages of Clear Aligners for Children

Comfortable and Removable

OrthoFX clear aligners are smooth, minimizing irritation to gums and cheeks. They are removable, making it easier for kids to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy their favorite foods.

Nearly Invisible Treatment

Clear aligners allow kids to undergo orthodontic treatment without the appearance of metal braces, helping them feel more confident at school and in activities.

Removable Convenience

Active Lifestyle-Friendly

The flexibility of clear aligners means fewer interruptions to daily life, allowing kids to participate in sports, music, and other activities without the concern of braces.

Advantages of Clear Aligners

Virtually invisible

While your child's attractive smile is emerging, most people won’t even notice they're wearing clear aligners.

Comfortable and convenient

Aligners are slim and smooth in their mouth. Your child takes them out to eat, so they don’t trap food or restrict their diet.

Predictable and efficient

Treatment is digitally planned from start to finish, allowing you to preview results. Clear aligners typically require fewer in-person adjustments.

Made my daughter feel comfortable. Increased my anxiety on talk about removing her permanent teeth for braces in 1 -2 years, however. I'm hopeful this isn't the only option. Thank you
