Invisalign® in Mt. Kisco, NY

Straight Smiles, One Tray at a Time!

At Kids Are Great Dental, a division of ProHEALTH Dental in Mt. Kisco, NY, we’re excited to offer Invisalign® clear aligners for kids and teens. Invisalign is an advanced, nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces, designed to gently and effectively align teeth while giving young patients more comfort and flexibility. Our team specializes in creating tailored Invisalign treatment plans to give your child a healthy, confident smile—without the need for metal brackets or wires.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners that fit snugly over your child’s teeth, gradually shifting them into the correct position. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before progressing to the next, allowing for precise, step-by-step adjustments. Invisalign aligners are made from SmartTrack® material, which is designed for comfort, making it easier for kids and teens to adapt to their treatment.

How Does Invisalign Work?

• Customized treatment plan: We start with a comprehensive assessment that includes digital impressions, X-rays, and photographs. Using advanced 3D technology, we create a customized treatment plan and show you a preview of your child’s expected results.
• Receiving the aligners: Once the aligners are ready, we’ll provide your child with their first set of aligners. Each aligner is slightly different from the last, gently guiding teeth into alignment over time.
• Regular check-ins: We schedule regular appointments, usually every 6-8 weeks, to monitor progress and ensure the treatment is on track. Your child will receive new aligners at each appointment.
• Retainer phase: After treatment, we’ll provide a custom retainer to help maintain the newly aligned position of the teeth, ensuring long-lasting results.

Why Choose Invisalign for Kids & Teens?

Invisalign aligners are popular for their effectiveness, comfort, and discretion. Here are some of the key benefits of choosing Invisalign for your child:

• Nearly invisible: The clear plastic aligners are barely noticeable, allowing kids and teens to straighten their teeth without the visible appearance of traditional braces.
• Comfortable fit: The smooth aligners reduce irritation that can be caused by metal braces, making it easier for kids to wear their aligners without discomfort.
• Removable: Invisalign aligners can be removed when eating, brushing, and flossing, making it easy to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy favorite foods without worry.
• Flexible lifestyle: Since the aligners can be removed for special occasions like sports, performances, and photos, Invisalign offers more lifestyle freedom for active kids and teens.

Is My Child a Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild to moderate cases. Common conditions that can benefit from Invisalign include:

• Crooked or misaligned teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overcrowded teeth
• Overbite, underbite, and crossbite

During an initial consultation, our team at Kids Are Great Dental will assess your child’s teeth and jaw alignment to determine if Invisalign is the best option for their needs. We create a personalized treatment plan to address your child’s specific orthodontic issues and help achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.

Benefits of Invisalign for Oral Health

Aside from cosmetic improvements, Invisalign offers several health benefits by promoting better alignment and oral hygiene:

• Reduced risk of cavities and gum disease: Straight teeth are easier to clean and floss, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
• Improved jaw alignment: Correcting bite issues can help relieve pressure on the jaw, which may help prevent future issues with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders.
• Enhanced confidence: A straight smile can greatly boost a child’s self-esteem and confidence, supporting positive social interactions and a healthy self-image.

Invisalign Teen: Designed for Growing Smiles

For teens, Invisalign offers additional features to help parents and our dental team ensure the best results:

• Compliance indicators: Small blue dots on the aligners fade over time, indicating if the aligners have been worn as recommended. This helps us monitor treatment progress and encourage good wear habits.
• Space for erupting teeth: Invisalign Teen aligners are designed to accommodate the eruption of second molars, allowing for growth and changes in a teen’s developing mouth.
