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.

Pre-Assessment
When you contact kohe™ Dental, you have an option to book an appointment or conduct a pre-assessment with us for your child virtually.
The pre-assessment is done virtually with our Head Dentist who will assess the suitability of your child for clear aligner treatment.
Should you be suitable for Invisalign First treatment, our Head Dentist will also inform you of the estimated cost of treatment based on the initial assessment of your dental condition and complexity as well as the tentative treatment duration.
You will also be given options for possible payment plans.
Initial Consultation (1st Visit)
If you have decided to proceed with an appointment for your child with kohe™ Dental, the first visit will involve a dental consultation with our dentist.
If necessary for your child, X-rays (Lat-Ceph) will be taken along with 3D Scans. Do let us know if you are uncomfortable allowing your child to take X-rays. We will accommodate your requests.
The oral health condition of your child will be explained to you in detail along with the treatment options that are recommended.
Should you decide on the same day that you wish to proceed with Invisalign First treatment, our dentist will conduct a 3D intraoral scan of the mouth and teeth of your child.
The 3D scan forms the basis of the smile journey and helps the dentist treatment plan for the new smile of your child.
The confirmed total amount for treatment will also be explained clearly to you.
Your first payment deposit of $500 will be made on the same day.
Treatment Planning
You will be notified of your treatment planning session and sent a virtual link to access your 3D treatment plan in 7 days from the time of your consultation.
During the treatment planning session, our dentist will explain the progression of teeth alignment to you and your child.
Should you approve the treatment plan, a payment link will be sent to you to commence production of your clear aligners.
Your second payment (depending on whether you have taken an instalment plan) will be made after your treatment planning is approved.
The second payment can range from $1,000 – $1,500 and will be used to pay for your clear aligner production.
Attachments (2nd Visit)
An appointment will be made to place attachments on your child’s teeth to prepare your child for Invisalign First treatment.
These attachments facilitate tooth movements and guide their teeth to the right positions with time.
Invisalign First Fitting and Collection of Clear Aligners (Usually 2nd Visit As Well)
When you collect your clear aligners, the clear aligners starter set typically includes your clear aligners, a clear aligner casing, a set of chewies.
The remainder of the payment can be made as a one-time payment or in instalments.
Invisalign First Treatment Duration
Most Invisalign First treatment plans range from 6 to 18 months.
The treatment duration will vary based on the current oral health of your child, their case complexity as well as whether they are disciplined with their Invisalign First routine.
Your child will need to put on their Invisalign First clear aligners for at least 22 hours each day.

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?
Our treatment coordinators got your back.
Remote Monitoring Powered by AI
We monitor our dental cases remotely with Scanbox by Dental Monitoring or Invisalign to ensure that your teeth are shifting on timeline and according to the treatment plan.
Remote monitoring also reduces the number of on-site dental visits you need to have with your child.
Experienced Invisalign Providers
Our dentists are experienced Invisalign providers with more than 10 years of experience in delivering simple to complex orthodontic treatments.
They are also certified Invisalign providers who work with growing children and young adults to improve their smiles.

Only eligible for upfront payment.
Set of Retainers Post-Treatment
Receive a complimentary set of lab-made retainers once your clear aligner treatment has been completed (only eligible for upfront payment)
The lab-made retainers help to retain your new smile and prevent a relapse.
Myofunctional Therapy for Better Results
We do not just fix the teeth of your child with Invisalign.
Part of what we do includes factoring oral habits and postures.
We use myofunctional therapy to address underlying issues to help ensure better and longer-lasting results.
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.
