Miami Beach Orthodontics is proud to offer kids in Miami Beach, Miami Shores, North Beach, and South Beach Invisalign First. If Dr. Rubensteen recommends Invisalign First for Phase 1 treatment for your child, don’t worry. Invisalign First functions similarly to regular Invisalign and uses a series of clear plastic aligners that gradually move your child’s teeth into their desired positions. Invisalign First is a great option for children who still have their baby teeth or any of the following concerns:
Narrow dental arches
Teeth crowding
Gaps in teeth
Crossbite
Open bite
Overbite
Underbite
If your child plays an instrument or sport, they simply remove the trays and play normally. With traditional metal braces, your child is subjected to an adjustment period or mouthguards. Invisalign First gives them the flexibility to be a kid without restraints.
There are dietary restrictions with traditional metal braces, such as avoiding hard and sticky foods like apples, carrots, caramels, and candies. Invisalign First’s removable trays let your child enjoy their favorite foods without damaging their appliance.
Traditional metal braces make it more difficult to brush and floss, meaning it’s more likely that your child will develop cavities or other problems during treatment. However, since Invisalign trays are removable, it’s easier for your child to maintain good dental health. They can simply remove the trays and brush and floss normally.
We can’t wait to meet you! Below is a rundown of what to expect during your first visit.
