What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system designed to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, removable aligners. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are:
- Virtually invisible
- Comfortable to wear
- Easily removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
Each aligner gradually shifts the teeth into the desired position, providing a gentle yet effective orthodontic treatment for kids and teens.

Why Choose Invisalign for Your Child?
Invisalign is an excellent orthodontic option for mild to moderate teeth misalignment. Here’s why parents and kids love it:
- No Food Restrictions – Kids can eat their favorite snacks without worrying about damaging brackets or wires.
- Easier Oral Hygiene – Removable aligners make brushing and flossing easier.
- Discreet & Comfortable – Clear aligners eliminate the self-consciousness that sometimes comes with traditional braces.
- Fewer Office Visits – No adjustments needed like with traditional braces—just simple progress checkups.
If your child needs orthodontic care but isn’t a fan of metal braces, Invisalign could be the perfect solution.
Invisalign Treatment Process at Bubble Gum Kids Dentistry
Our team at Bubble Gum Kids Dentistry provides a seamless and stress-free Invisalign experience. Here’s what to expect:
Step 1: Consultation & 3D Digital Impressions
We start with a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation and use advanced 3D scanning technology to create a precise digital model of your child’s teeth—no messy impressions needed.
We also offer digital impressions for greater accuracy and comfort.
Step 2: Custom Aligners & Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on the scan, we design a customized series of aligners that gradually shift the teeth. The treatment typically lasts between 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the case.
Step 3: Regular Checkups & Progress Tracking
Every few weeks, your child will switch to a new set of aligners, ensuring steady progress. We schedule periodic checkups to monitor alignment and make any necessary adjustments.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces – Which is Right for My Child?
- Visibility: Invisalign aligners are clear and nearly invisible, while traditional braces have visible metal brackets and wires.
- Comfort: Invisalign is made from smooth plastic with no sharp edges, whereas braces can sometimes cause discomfort.
- Removability: Invisalign aligners are removable for eating and brushing, while braces are fixed to the teeth.
- Oral Hygiene: With Invisalign, it’s easier to brush and floss properly, whereas braces require extra care to clean around brackets and wires.
- Office Visits: Invisalign typically requires fewer in-office visits compared to traditional braces, which need frequent adjustments.
While Invisalign is great for mild to moderate orthodontic issues, some complex cases may still require traditional braces. Our pediatric orthodontic team will recommend the best option based on your child’s needs.
