Invisalign First® in Kanata
Early Orthodontic Care for Growing Smiles
Invisalign First® offers a gentle, effective way to guide your child’s dental development—without braces. Designed for kids ages 7 to 10, this early orthodontic treatment supports healthy growth while preventing more complex issues later on.
What Is Invisalign First®?
Invisalign First® is the only clear aligner system created specifically for Phase 1 orthodontic treatment, which starts while children still have baby teeth. This proactive approach helps:
- Guide jaw and arch development
- Create space for incoming adult teeth
- Correct early signs of crowding or spacing
- Address bite issues like overbite or crossbite
- Improve airway support and oral function
- Boost confidence by avoiding braces altogether
At MYsmile Dental, your child is cared for by a Diamond Invisalign® Provider using digital precision and family-focused communication every step of the way.
Why Start Orthodontics Early?
We recommend an orthodontic evaluation around age 7, when your child’s jaw is actively growing and baby teeth are transitioning out. Early detection can help us:
- Prevent more invasive treatment later
- Support proper development of permanent teeth
- Reduce the likelihood of extractions or expanders
- Correct harmful habits like thumb-sucking or tongue thrusting
- Improve breathing and speech patterns
Starting Invisalign First® at the right time can make a big difference in long-term oral health and confidence.
How Invisalign First® Compares to Braces
Many parents worry about how braces will affect their child’s comfort and confidence. With Invisalign First®, you get:
- A clear, discreet option that’s barely noticeable
- Removable aligners for easier brushing, flossing, and meals
- A smooth, wire-free fit—no poking or irritation
- Fewer emergencies and no broken brackets
- A more positive, flexible experience for young kids
What to Expect

- Dr. Kamel builds a custom treatment plan tailored to your child’s growth and needs.
- Your child wears a series of comfortable, removable aligners that gently guide their teeth and jaws.

Is Invisalign First® really for young children?
Yes. It’s specifically designed for kids between ages 7 and 10 who still have baby teeth and developing jaws.
Will my child still need braces later?
Some children may need a second phase of treatment as teens, but Invisalign First® often shortens or simplifies that process significantly.
How long does treatment take?
Most Invisalign First® cases take 6 to 12 months, depending on your child’s specific needs.
What if my child loses an aligner?
We encourage patients to keep all their old aligners. If one is lost, they can either move back to the previous aligner or advance to the next, depending on timing.
Does insurance cover Invisalign First®?
Many dental insurance plans that cover orthodontics also include Invisalign First®. We also offer 0% in-house financing and direct insurance billing.
