Family Friendly & Specialty Dentists in London, UK
Invisalign First is a clear aligner system designed for children who still have some baby teeth. It guides jaw growth and makes room for the adult teeth while they are coming through. A consultation tells us whether your child is suitable and how long treatment is likely to take.
Our dentists and our specialist orthodontist provide this care at our Primrose Hill practice.
Aligners only go on healthy teeth. Before any orthodontic plan we check for decay and gum problems, using dental x-rays where needed, and treat what we find, with paediatric crowns where a baby tooth needs protecting. That work is part of the paediatric dentistry in London we provide, and it means the aligner treatment starts from a clean base.
Choosing the wrong orthodontic path wastes time and money. Our dentists assess your child, and Dr Kia Papagalani, specialist orthodontist (GDC No. 228487), plans the treatment, so the choice of appliance matches your child's stage of development. You get a detailed breakdown of costs before you begin. For children better suited to habit-based treatment, we also offer Myobrace for natural dental development.
Suitability, expected timescale and pricing are confirmed at the initial consultation.
Leave your number and we will call you back. Nothing is booked until you say so.
Children in the mixed dentition stage, with a combination of baby and adult teeth, whose bite or crowding would benefit from early guidance. Many children are nervous about dental appointments and we keep the visits calm and short. We help you decide which of our children's dental treatments fits your child, and a consultation confirms whether Invisalign First is the right choice.
Removable aligners also depend on the child wearing them, so we talk honestly with you about whether your child is ready.
We assess whether your child is a suitable candidate and whether early orthodontic treatment is needed to guide jaw growth, and we explain the process and timeline.
We take a digital scan of your child's teeth and plan the movement of each tooth, which is what the aligners are made from.
Your child wears a series of clear aligners, changing to the next set as directed. We are honest about the wear time and the visits needed, and about keeping the teeth clean while wearing them.
Regular check-ups let us confirm the teeth are moving as planned and adjust the plan if they are not.
Once the planned movements are complete we review the result and discuss retention, which is what keeps the teeth where they are.
Guiding jaw growth early helps the adult teeth come through in a better position. We use removable aligners rather than fixed braces where they suit the child. Our clinical team is led by Dr Ope Sodeinde, GDC-registered specialist periodontist (GDC No. 104071).
Orthodontic care sits alongside children's dental exams and cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental hygiene for children and teens, because teeth need to be clean and healthy to be moved safely.
Where a tooth needs repair, we use tooth-coloured composite resin.
We confirm the cost at the initial consultation, once we have assessed your child and planned the treatment.
It varies with the child. We give you a timeline after assessing your child's development and planning the movements.
Some children feel mild pressure for a day or two after changing to a new aligner. It settles quickly, and there are no wires or tightening.
Children who still have some baby teeth and would benefit from early guidance of their bite. Holding the result afterwards depends on wearing a retainer, which we discuss at the consultation.
Our dentists carry out these assessments at the practice in Primrose Hill.
Our dentists assess whether your child is a candidate at a consultation, and explain the process and timeline. Read what happens at your child's dental consultation and how to book to get those answers.
