At Alan Wilson Dentistry, we believe every child deserves a healthy, confident smile. Our orthodontic team provides personalized care for children of all ages, offering tailored solutions like Invisalign and traditional fixed braces to meet each child’s unique needs.
Creating confident smiles for children
Invisalign First for children offers a nearly invisible way to correct alignment issues without the need for metal braces. Using clear, removable aligners, Invisalign gently shifts teeth into place with minimal disruption to daily life, making it ideal for active children or those who prefer a more discreet option. The aligners are easy to clean, helping to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
For children needing more significant correction, fixed braces remain a highly effective option. These braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into their proper positions, addressing a wide range of alignment and bite issues.
At Alan Wilson Dentistry, we create a welcoming environment for both children and parents, ensuring comfort and support throughout the treatment process. Whether you choose Invisalign or fixed braces, your child will receive the highest level of care and attention.

Frequently asked questions
It’s generally recommended that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this age, the orthodontist can identify potential issues with teeth alignment and jaw development, allowing for early intervention if necessary.
Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into place, making it a discreet option that can be taken out for eating and cleaning. Fixed braces, on the other hand, consist of metal brackets and wires that are bonded to the teeth, providing effective treatment for a wide range of alignment issues. The choice between them depends on your child’s specific needs and preferences.
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies based on the complexity of the case. Generally, children may need to wear fixed braces for about 18 to 24 months, while Invisalign treatment may take a similar amount of time, depending on the specific alignment issues being addressed. Your orthodontist will provide a more accurate timeline during the initial consultation.
