Olympia Hills Dental Junior
At Olympia Hills Junior, we believe early smiles deserve early support. That’s why we proudly offer Invisalign® Clear Aligners for kids starting as young as age 5, all the way through their teen years.
Whether it’s guiding developing teeth, fixing crowding, or helping boost confidence in photos and at school, Invisalign can be a great solution for a wide range of ages—and our team is specially trained to make the process easy, fun, and super kid-friendly.
Invisalign uses a series of smooth, nearly invisible trays (called aligners) to gently move your child’s teeth into place. They’re custom-made, removable, and way more comfortable than metal braces.
Depending on your child’s needs, their treatment may involve:
We’ll track progress every few weeks and make adjustments as needed to ensure their smile journey stays on track.
Early orthodontic guidance (sometimes called Phase 1 treatment) can help prevent bigger issues later. Starting Invisalign as young as age 5–7 can:
Plus, younger kids love that there are no brackets, no wires, and no food restrictions—just smooth, removable trays and a path to a straighter smile.
Early orthodontic guidance (sometimes called Phase 1 treatment) can help prevent bigger issues later. Starting Invisalign as young as age 5–7 can:
No worries about crunchy apples or chewy snacks—just take the aligners out and eat like normal.
Your child removes their aligners to clean their teeth, so no tricky flossing around wires.
No pokey wires or visible brackets—just a clear, comfy fit that blends right in.
In many cases, treatment time is shorter—but it all depends on how consistently the aligners are worn.
Aligners can act as a gentle barrier for mild teeth grinding (bruxism), especially at night.
Invisalign success depends on wear time. Kids need to wear their aligners for 20–22 hours per day. While we’re here to support and cheer them on, the best results come from consistent use.
If your child is able to follow simple routines (like remembering to brush and put aligners back in after meals), they’ll do great.
There are two key things to consider:
1. Responsibility
Even younger kids can succeed with Invisalign if they have the support and structure to build good habits. We’ll help you figure out if they’re ready.
2. Their unique smile
Not all orthodontic needs can be treated with Invisalign, especially severe bite issues. After a consultation with Dr. Mueller, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and let you know all your options.
Whether they’re 5 or 15, we’d love to help your child start their journey toward a straighter, healthier smile. Schedule a consultation with Olympia Hills Junior today, and let’s see if Invisalign is the right fit for your family.
