Invisalign First
Improve the oral health and physical appearance of your child early with Invisalign First – an early-stage clear aligner alternative to braces. Suitable for patients aged 7 to 11 who are looking to enhance their bite and teeth alignment. Best for young children who want to correct their bite after traditional or Invisalign Palatal Expander (IPE) or who do not want to take up braces treatment.
Invisalign First Explained
Invisalign First is one of the product lines under Invisalign that focuses on the orthodontic conditions of young children aged 7 to 11 years of age. If you are looking for an older child, teenager or yourself, you might want to check out Invisalign instead.
Just like Invisalign or any other clear aligner or invisible braces brand, Invisalign First uses removable transparent trays to gently push the teeth of your child into the right position.
Invisalign First is often used after Invisalign Palatal Expander (IPE) treatment or as an alternative to braces. Many parents choose to go with Invisalign First or Angel Aligner KiDs because traditional metal braces can cause abrasions or be more difficult to clean.
Invisalign First can be used to correct mixed dentition (a combination of baby and adult teeth) with mild to severe orthodontic misalignment in young children before proceeding with Phase Two of Invisalign treatment.
Benefits of Invisalign First
There are many advantages to taking up Invisalign First treatment for your child.
Some of the immediate benefits include:
Predictable teeth alignment
Invisalign First allows for predictable teeth alignment, providing clear expectations for treatment outcomes and progression stages.
Good overall experience for child and parent
Invisalign First is smooth and removable, providing a comfortable and convenient experience for your child, with little need for intervention or monitoring from you.
Achieve a functional and stable bite early
Early intervention helps establish proper bite alignment during crucial growth periods, preventing more complex issues later.
Treat a broad range of orthodontic conditions
Invisalign First effectively addresses various orthodontic issues including crowding, spacing, and bite problems in developing mouths.
Enhance the self-confidence of your child
Invisalign First clear aligners are virtually invisible, unlike metal braces. Their aesthetic appearance can help your child look good and feel good.
Retain the diet and lifestyle habits of your child
Because of the removable nature of Invisalign First clear aligners, your child can continue enjoying their favourite foods and activities without dietary restrictions or physical activity limitations.

Why Should I Do Invisalign First at kohe™ Dental?
kohe™ Dental is the first dedicated clear aligner dental clinic in Singapore that focuses on the use of a varying range of invisible braces or clear aligner brands in orthodontic treatment.
While all clear aligner brands might look the same, they have different properties and unique features that make them suitable for different patients. This is especially so for growing children.
kohe™ Dental tweaks our clear aligner treatments based on the aesthetic and functional needs of your child. We do not sell clear aligner brands. We work with the smile outcomes that you want your child to achieve.
kohe™ Dental also prioritises the natural teeth of your child. We make it a point not to extract any teeth when we do Invisalign First treatment for your child.
Our approach considers other factors such as oral posture and habits. Based on these factors, we incorporate myofunctional exercises for proper oral habits (e.g. nasal breathing and tongue posture).
24/7 Treatment Coordinator Support
Our treatment coordinator supports you throughout your entire journey – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Have a question about the current treatment plan of your child? Is your child experiencing discomfort?

Invisalign First: Frequently Asked Questions
Commonly asked questions about Invisalign First.
How do I know whether my child qualifies for Invisalign First?
Your child qualifies for Invisalign First if they are of the age 7 to 11 years old and have mixed dentition (a combination of baby teeth and adult teeth). Besides mixed dentition, they have teeth alignment issues that can potentially worsen with time.
If you have been told by a dentist or orthodontist that your child might require early intervention to correct bite problems, but you are hesitant on putting them on braces treatment and prefer a more comfortable and discreet alternative, then you might want to consider Invisalign First for your child.
