What Is Invisalign First?
Invisalign First is an early orthodontic treatment using clear, removable aligners created for children whose smiles are still growing. Rather than focusing only on straightening teeth, this approach supports proper jaw development and tooth eruption at the right time.
Invisalign First can help address:
- Crowding or spacing
- Narrow dental arches
- Early bite concerns
- Guidance for erupting permanent teeth
How Does Invisalign First Treatment Begin?
A Simple, Digital Start
Dr. Aragon and her team begin with a fast, comfortable digital scan, no messy impressions needed. This scan allows the team to carefully plan each phase of treatment using advanced technology, so parents know what to expect every step of the way. In many cases, orthodontic insurance may help cover a portion of treatment.
Why Do Families Choose Invisalign First?

Invisalign First aligners are designed to fit smaller teeth and adapt as new teeth come in. Because they’re removable, children can continue enjoying daily activities with minimal interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing early orthodontic treatment can come with a lot of questions. Below are answers to some of the most common things families in Kent, WA ask when considering Invisalign First with Dr. Aragon and her team.
At what age should my child be evaluated for Invisalign First?
Most children are evaluated between ages 6 and 10, once a mix of baby teeth and permanent teeth are present. An early evaluation allows Dr. Aragon to determine whether Invisalign First is beneficial now or if monitoring growth is the best next step.
Does Invisalign First replace braces later on?
In some cases, early Invisalign treatment can reduce or simplify future orthodontic care. However, because smiles continue to develop, some patients may still need a second phase of treatment later. Dr. Aragon will explain what to expect based on your child’s individual growth pattern.
Will Invisalign First affect my child’s speech or school activities?
Most children adapt quickly. Any minor speech changes typically resolve within a few days. Because aligners are smooth and removable, children can comfortably participate in school, sports, and other activities.
Is Invisalign First comfortable for growing smiles?
Yes. Invisalign First aligners are designed specifically for developing mouths and are made from smooth, flexible material. Most children find them comfortable and easy to adjust to.
How do I know if Invisalign First is better than traditional early braces?
That depends on your child’s dental development and treatment goals. During your complimentary consultation, Dr. Aragon will review all available options and recommend the approach that best supports healthy growth and long-term results.
