Clear Aligners for Kids

  • Clear Aligners for Kids

At Speaks Orthodontics, we believe every child deserves to smile confidently and often. Clear aligners might be the perfect solution to help your child achieve a smile they’ll love. Not only are we dedicated to creating beautiful smiles, but Dr. Speaks also brings advanced training in general dentistry and hospital-based orthodontics to every treatment plan.

This expertise ensures your child receives personalized, informed care at every stage of their orthodontic journey. We prioritize your child’s well-being, never recommending treatment before it’s truly necessary. With our patient-first approach, your child’s smile is in expert hands.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, virtually invisible trays designed to gradually straighten teeth. They are a popular orthodontic option because of their comfort, flexibility, and discreet appearance. These aligners are made from a smooth, durable thermoplastic material that’s easy to wear and remove, making them a favorite among kids and parents alike.

To start, we’ll take a detailed 3D scan of your child’s mouth, teeth, and jaw. This helps us create aligners that fit perfectly and allows us to map out a clear treatment plan. We’ll even show you a projection of the final results, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Your child will switch to a new set of aligners every week, gradually working toward their dream smile.

How Are Clear Aligners for Kids Different from Those for Adults?

Clear aligners are an excellent option for children who are committed to wearing them consistently. Because kids’ mouths are still growing, aligners can address orthodontic issues early, preventing more complex problems in the future.

One unique feature of clear aligners for kids is compliance indicators — small marks on the aligners that fade with consistent wear. These indicators help parents and orthodontists monitor whether aligners are being worn for the recommended 20–22 hours per day to ensure the best results.

Benefits of Clear Aligners for Kids

If your child is ready to commit to wearing aligners, the advantages are endless:

  • Discreet and Comfortable: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, and their smooth design prevents the irritation caused by metal brackets and wires.
  • No Dietary Restrictions: Unlike braces, aligners are removed during meals, so your child can enjoy their favorite foods, from crunchy apples to chewy candies.
  • Easy Maintenance: Brushing and flossing are a breeze without the need to navigate around brackets and wires, promoting excellent oral hygiene.
  • Fewer Emergencies: No broken brackets or snapped wires means fewer unexpected visits to the orthodontist.

Kids often adapt quickly to wearing aligners, and many even prefer them to traditional braces because of the comfort and convenience they provide.

Caring for Clear Aligners

Maintaining clear aligners is simple. Your child can clean their aligners by brushing them with warm water and a soft toothbrush after they brush their teeth. This keeps the aligners fresh and helps prevent buildup.

Can My Child Still Play Sports?

Absolutely! Clear aligners fit seamlessly into an active lifestyle. They can even offer some protection during sports by acting as a soft barrier for teeth. If your child prefers, they can temporarily remove their aligners during games or practice, as long as they put them back in afterward.

Ready to Transform Your Child’s Smile?

At Speaks Orthodontics, we’re passionate about helping kids achieve healthy, confident smiles. Schedule a consultation today to learn how clear aligners can make a difference for your child. Let’s create a smile they’ll be proud to wear!

I was nervous about getting braces as an adult, but my experience with Speaks was excellent. The 2 ½ years went by quickly. Dr. Speaks and the staff were clear about the timeline and what I needed to do to ensure a good outcome. I got my braces off last year, a few days before my 30th birthday, and I’m still very happy with the results!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to hear that your experience at Speaks Orthodontics was positive and that you’re thrilled with your results. Enjoy your beautiful smile!
Melissa C.
My experience from start to finish with my orthodontic treatment at Speaks Orthodontics has been wonderful. Having to go back into orthodontics in your 30s isn’t ideal, but the team here made it smooth and comfortable. The free consultation was detailed and unhurried. The office is clean and comfortable. Every staff member is kind and helpful. Dr. Speaks’ bedside manner is top-notch, and not only did I get my teeth alignment fixed, he also helped me with evening my gumline out with a laser gingivectomy as part of my treatment. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for orthodontic treatment.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Melissa! We're thrilled to hear that your experience with our team and Dr. Speaks exceeded your expectations. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again!
