At Advanced Orthodontics Kent, Dr. Gabriela Aragon and her team use Invisalign First® to guide growing smiles with comfort and precision. Designed specifically for developing mouths, Invisalign First aligns teeth while gently expanding the arches to make space for both existing and incoming permanent teeth - all with a positive, kid-friendly experience in mind. It’s a modern alternative to early braces for the right young patients.
What Is Invisalign First?
Invisalign First is an early orthodontic treatment using clear, removable aligners made for children whose smiles are still growing. Rather than focusing only on straightening teeth, it supports proper jaw development and tooth eruption at the right time. It can help address crowding or spacing, narrow dental arches, early bite concerns, and guidance for erupting permanent teeth.
How Treatment Begins
Treatment starts with a fast, comfortable iTero® digital scan - no messy impressions. That scan lets Dr. Aragon plan each phase carefully, so you know what to expect every step of the way. In many cases, orthodontic insurance may help cover a portion of treatment.
Why Families Choose Invisalign First
- A more comfortable experience - aligners are designed to fit smaller teeth and adapt as new teeth come in, and because they’re removable, kids keep up with daily activities.
- No food restrictions - aligners come out for meals, so there’s nothing off-limits and no brackets to break.
- Easy oral hygiene - without brackets or wires, brushing and flossing stay simple.
- Gradual, supervised progress - a series of planned aligners moves teeth in small, controlled steps under Dr. Aragon’s close supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child be evaluated for Invisalign First?
Most children are evaluated between ages 6 and 10, once a mix of baby and permanent teeth are present. An early evaluation lets Dr. Aragon determine whether Invisalign First is beneficial now or whether monitoring growth is the better next step.
Does Invisalign First replace braces later?
In some cases it can reduce or simplify future care, but because smiles keep developing, some children still need a second phase later. Dr. Aragon will explain what to expect based on your child’s growth.
Will it affect my child's speech or school activities?
Most children adapt within a few days. Because the aligners are smooth and removable, kids comfortably take part in school, sports, and other activities.
Are the aligners comfortable for young children?
Yes - they’re made specifically for developing mouths from smooth, flexible material, and most children adjust quickly.
