Early Treatment With Invisalign For Kids
Invisalign aligners can be a great way to guide your child’s smile early — often before more complex orthodontic issues have a chance to develop. By starting 2-phase treatment at the right time, we can help create space, improve alignment, and set the foundation for a healthier smile as they grow.
Because children’s teeth are still developing, they tend to respond well to early orthodontic treatment. Invisalign aligners work gradually and gently, helping new teeth come in more evenly while encouraging proper positioning over time. And since they’re removable, kids can continue enjoying the foods and activities they love with minimal disruption.
Is Invisalign Right for Your Child?
Invisalign can be an effective option for kids who may not be ready for "phase 2" comprehensive treatment but still need early intervention. It’s often used to address concerns like crowding, spacing, or minor bite issues.
For the best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours a day and removed only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Success with Invisalign depends on consistency, so we work closely with both kids and parents to make sure treatment stays on track.

Great experience! Dr Whitlock and his staff were very kind and accommodating throughout my Invisalign process. The scanning process is super easy. I was very happy with the results with the appearance of my teeth and the way it has help me sleep better with the positioning of my teeth where my tongue has more resting room. I am 53 and I was never advised that I needed braces. My teeth were pretty straight. A couple years ago my dentist said that as we age our teeth will continue to crowd inward. Which could be a problem. So I got a consultation with Dr. Whitlock. Great decision!!
Dr. Whitlock and his team are amazing! They took great care of me for over 3 years and were always so kind and detail-oriented. Every visit was smooth and I could tell they really cared about getting the best results.Now I have a smile I’m proud of, and I’m so thankful for all their hard work. Highly recommend this office if you’re thinking about orthodontic treatment!
5 stars all the way, love everything about it! I really like how they give you a tour of the office on your first visit. Dr. Whitlock and Michelle were so professional explaining everything about treatment and answering all my questions! Highly recommended!
Dr. Whitlock is amazing and the entire staff are all so nice. All of my children have been in braces at one point and my youngest daughter is currently in invisaline. I wish these had been out years ago!!
