If you think your child may require orthodontic treatment, you can now even consider Invisalign. Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign in Wilmington can treat moderate to complex cases of misalignment.
Invisalign can be opted for by children as young as 6 years old. Although Orthodontic treatment this early is rarely mandated, a visit to an orthodontist in Wilmington can help keep track of future complications and schedule treatment accordingly.
However, you must consider a few things before you opt for Invisalign for your child. Invisalign clear aligners are removable, so patient compliance is of the essence. If your child is someone who tends to lose things or you think compliance may be an issue, then Invisalign may not be the right choice for your kid. On the other hand, if your child listens and can wear the aligner for 22 hours each day, then go ahead.
Treatment with Invisalign can last from 6 months to 18 months, depending upon the case's complexity. Our orthodontist will take a 3D scan of your child's teeth on the first visit. This scan is manipulated to present a final image of how the smile will look post-treatment. Based on these scans, aligners are made. Each pair of aligners has to be worn for two weeks before replacing it with the next in line.
Invisalign is a brilliant option for kids as it is discrete and does not interfere with their day-to-day life. Invisalign also offers greater comfort and won't hamper your child's confidence during the treatment phase.
