What is Invisalign First?

Invisalign First is one of the products from Invisalign, the world-renowned clear aligner brand from the United States.

However, if additional problems remain, Invisalign First can smoothly transition into the next phase of orthodontic treatment without delay.

If everything looks good, no further orthodontic treatment may be necessary.

Children can start Invisalign First treatment between the ages of 6–10.
