Is Invisalign suitable for kids?

Doctor's Answer

As with most orthodontic treatment, there is no age limit for Invisalign treatment. In fact, Invisalign has developed new features that work great on growing children to help to correct jaw size discrepancies in conjunction with correcting the overall alignment of teeth.

Ultimately, whether a young patient can be successfully treated using Invisalign will depend on the teeth/ jaw condition as well as the compliance of the patient himself/ herself as the optimal hours of wear needed will be 22 hours. At our clinic, the youngest Invisalign patient we have treated is 11 years old.
