Expert Pediatric Orthodontic Care by Dr. Vahid Babaeian, Board-Certified Invisalign Dentist in Downey
What Is Invisalign for Kids?
Invisalign First is a clear aligner treatment designed specifically for children ages 6 to 10. These removable aligners gently guide developing teeth, expand dental arches, and make room for permanent teeth—without metal braces. It’s a modern, comfortable, and discreet way to address early orthodontic issues.
Invisalign First: A Simple, Happy Start to a Healthier Smile
Starting your child’s Invisalign® journey is easy — it all begins with a quick digital scan. No goopy impressions needed! Every step is carefully mapped out using advanced digital planning, so you know exactly what to expect. And with many orthodontic insurance plans covering up to 50% of the cost, it’s a smart investment in their smile.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign First uses clear, removable aligners designed to fit smaller, growing mouths. That means fewer disruptions to the foods your child loves and no changes to their brushing and flossing routine. From popcorn at the movies to their favorite meals at home, nothing’s off-limits.
As their teeth gently shift into place, you’ll see their confidence grow right along with their smile. Invisalign First aligners are designed to treat a wide range of early orthodontic issues — from crowding and spacing to narrow arches — with precision and comfort.
Invisalign has already transformed over 5 million smiles worldwide. Now it’s your child’s turn. Schedule a complimentary consultation at Brace Connection, where Dr. Vahid Babaeian will personally evaluate whether your child is a candidate for Invisalign First.
Who Is Invisalign First For?
Crowded or spaced teeth
Helps guide teeth into proper alignment, whether they’re too close together or have noticeable gaps.
Narrow dental arches
Gently expands the arches to create space for incoming teeth and improve overall bite alignment.
Bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
Corrects jaw alignment problems early, setting the foundation for a healthier, more balanced bite.
Difficulty brushing or flossing with braces
Removable aligners make daily hygiene easier, reducing the risk of cavities and gum issues.
Relapse after earlier treatment
Addresses teeth that have shifted back out of place after previous orthodontic care.
Discomfort or self-consciousness with metal braces
Clear, comfortable aligners offer a less noticeable alternative that boosts confidence.

How the Invisalign for Kids Process Works
Step 1: Consultation
Dr. Babaeian will evaluate your child’s smile, dental growth, and orthodontic needs. If Invisalign First is a good fit, we’ll guide you through the process.
Step 2: Digital Imaging & Planning
We take iTero digital scans—no goopy impressions! These create a 3D model of your child’s mouth to design custom aligners.
Step 3: Aligner Treatment
Your child will wear a series of custom clear aligners, switching trays every 1–2 weeks. These gently move the teeth and widen the arches as needed.
Step 4: Retainers & Follow-Up
After treatment, we provide a custom retainer to keep their new smile in place and monitor their growth with follow-up visits.
