As parents, one of the most common questions we hear at the Centre of Dental Excellence in Stanmore (HA7) is:
👉 “When should my child see an orthodontist?”
With advances in modern orthodontics, including Kids Invisalign (Invisalign First), children can now benefit from earlier, more comfortable, and discreet orthodontic treatment. If you’re based in Stanmore, Harrow, Edgware, or Bushey, our orthodontic specialists are here to guide you through the best options for your child’s smile.
What Is Kids Invisalign?
Kids Invisalign (also known as Invisalign First) is a clear aligner system designed especially for growing children. Unlike traditional braces, it uses removable, nearly invisible aligners to gently guide developing teeth into the right position.
It’s ideal for:
- Correcting crowding or spacing
- Improving bite alignment
- Helping with habits like thumb-sucking
- Supporting healthy jaw growth
Â
And the best part? Kids can remove the aligners to eat, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain excellent oral hygiene.
When Should My Child See an Orthodontic Specialist?
The British Orthodontic Society recommends that children have their first orthodontic consultation by the age of 7. At this stage:
- The jaw is still developing, making it easier to guide growth.
- We can spot early problems such as crowding, crossbites, or bite issues.
- Intervention at the right time can prevent more complex treatment later on.
At our Stanmore HA7 orthodontic clinic, we often see children between 7–10 years old for their first consultation, even if they don’t need treatment immediately. This allows us to monitor their growth and recommend treatment at the right time.
Benefits of Kids Invisalign Over Traditional Braces
Parents often ask: “Why Invisalign for kids instead of braces?” Here’s why:
✅ Discreet & comfortable – No metal wires or brackets
✅ Removable – Easy brushing, flossing & eating
✅ Gentle & precise – Digital scans guide every step
✅ Fewer emergencies – No broken wires or sharp brackets
✅ Confidence boost – Kids feel less self-conscious at school
