Invisalign & Clarity Aligners in Mt. Kisco

A Straighter Smile with Comfort & Convenience

As a parent, you want the best for your child, and that includes a healthy, confident smile. If your child has crooked teeth, gaps, or bite alignment issues, Invisalign and Clarity aligners offer a comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional braces. At Kids Are Great Dental, we specialize in pediatric orthodontic evaluations to determine if Invisalign or Clarity aligners is the right solution for your child’s smile.

What Are Invisalign & Clarity Aligners?

Invisalign and Clarity aligners are a modern, removable, and nearly invisible orthodontic solution designed to gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Unlike traditional metal braces, these clear plastic trays allow for easier cleaning, greater comfort, and the freedom to eat without restrictions.

Benefits of Invisalign & Clarity for Children & Teens:

• Nearly Invisible – No bulky brackets or wires, making them a more discreet option.
• Removable – Easy to take out for meals, brushing, and flossing.
• Comfortable – No metal wires or brackets to cause irritation.
• Improved Oral Hygiene – Since they’re removable, kids can maintain better brushing and flossing habits.
• Fewer Office Visits – No adjustments needed, just check-ins to track progress.

Is Invisalign or Clarity Right for Your Child?

Invisalign and Clarity aligners are an excellent option for children and teens with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including:

• Crooked or misaligned teeth
• Small gaps between teeth
• Overbites, underbites, or crossbites

During an evaluation at Kids Are Great Dental, our pediatric dental team will assess your child’s teeth and jaw alignment to determine the best treatment option.

What to Expect During a Orthodontic Evaluation

When you bring your child in for a Invisalign or Clarity evaluation, our pediatric dental team will:

• Conduct a Comprehensive Exam – We will examine your child’s teeth, gums, and bite alignment.
• Take Digital Scans & Impressions – These help us create a precise model of your child’s teeth for accurate treatment planning.
• Discuss Treatment Goals – We’ll go over your child’s orthodontic needs and expected results.
• Create a Customized Treatment Plan – If Invisalign or Clarity is a good fit, we’ll outline the process and timeline for treatment.

How Long Does Treatment Take for Kids & Teens?

Every child’s smile is unique, so treatment times vary based on the severity of misalignment. Most pediatric Invisalign and Clarity treatments last between 6 to 24 months, with regular check-ins to ensure progress.

Caring for Invisalign & Clarity Aligners

To ensure successful treatment, parents should encourage their children to:

• Wear their aligners for at least 22 hours per day.
• Remove aligners before eating and drinking (except for water).
• Clean aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and rinse with lukewarm water.
• Keep track of aligner trays and store them safely when not in use.
