The aligners are thin, smooth and transparent, so compared with conventional braces they are almost invisible. Invisalign aligners contain no metal wires or brackets, so they do not cause irritation or pain. Thanks to the removable design, the child can simply <strong>take the aligners out<\/strong> during meals and while brushing, which makes oral hygiene much easier.<\/p>\n<p>Invisalign aligners are <strong>suitable for a range of orthodontic problems<\/strong>, from bite irregularities to gentle tooth movements. They let the child keep a healthy, attractive smile without limiting everyday activities. They are suitable <strong>from age 6 onwards<\/strong>. Most children forget within a few days that they are even wearing them.<\/p>\n<table class=\"od-rt\">\n<caption>Invisalign treatment at a glance<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Case type<\/th>\n<th>What it corrects<\/th>\n<th>Typical duration<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Minor<\/td>\n<td>Small crowding or gaps<\/td>\n<td>3&ndash;8 months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Moderate<\/td>\n<td>Bite &amp; alignment issues<\/td>\n<td>9&ndash;12 months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Complex<\/td>\n<td>Significant misalignment<\/td>\n<td>up to ~15 months<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Orthodontic treatment with Invisalign First clear aligners<\/h2>\n<p>Early orthodontic treatment is key for the healthy development of a child&#8217;s teeth, as it allows timely correction of <strong>irregularities that could otherwise become more complicated or harder to treat later<\/strong>. <a href='https:\/\/orthodental.si\/en\/invisalign\/'>Invisalign First<\/a> is designed to give children an exceptionally comfortable experience, being transparent, soft and light. Children wear it easily for most of the day without it getting in the way of play, sport or speech.<\/p>\n<p>The length of treatment depends on the individual case, but usually takes <strong>between six and eighteen months<\/strong>. Successful treatment requires regular wear, with the child changing aligners as instructed by the orthodontist. If needed, Invisalign First can also be combined with other orthodontic procedures or appliances to achieve the best final result.<\/p>\n<figure><img src=\"https:\/\/orthodental.si\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Free-Invisalign-consultation.webp\" alt=\"Smiling orthodontist in a white coat holding an Invisalign aligner and a purple case in a dental clinic.\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<h2>The two phases of Invisalign First treatment<\/h2>\n<h3>Phase 1 &#8211; early intervention between ages 6 and 10<\/h3>\n<p>The first phase of wearing Invisalign clear aligners is intended for younger children who <strong>do not yet have fully developed permanent teeth<\/strong>. The goal of this phase is to create <strong>enough space for the incoming teeth<\/strong>, correct early bite irregularities and guide jaw growth. The Invisalign First aligners are adjusted to gently widen the dental arches, align the existing teeth and improve bite function.<\/p>\n<p>Once the first phase is complete, the child <strong>usually wears a retainer to maintain the results achieved<\/strong> until all the permanent teeth have erupted.<\/p>\n<h3>Phase 2 &#8211; comprehensive orthodontic treatment in the teenage years<\/h3>\n<p>The second phase begins when almost all the permanent teeth are present. The goal is to align the bite precisely, stabilise the movements and achieve a fully balanced, functional and aesthetic smile. This phase usually uses <strong>Invisalign Teen<\/strong> or standard Invisalign aligners. The difference is that the <strong>second phase is shorter and simpler if the child was treated in good time in the first phase.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"od-btn2\" href=\"\/en\/contact\/\">I want an appointment with an orthodontist<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Keeping teeth and gums healthy while wearing clear aligners<\/h2>\n<p>Proper hygiene is essential during orthodontic treatment. Children should <strong>brush their teeth regularly, ideally after every meal.<\/strong> Fixed braces require very complicated cleaning, whereas with Invisalign First it is much easier. The aligners are removable, so the child can focus on brushing and flossing without difficulty.<\/p>\n<p>Regular check-ups with the orthodontist are important for monitoring the course of treatment and maintaining oral health. Proper hygiene <strong>prevents plaque build-up, decay and other complications<\/strong> that could slow the treatment down.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"od-info\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 920 190\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Your Invisalign journey\"><text x=\"460\" y=\"34\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"22\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#173a4d\">Your Invisalign journey<\/text><line x1=\"147\" y1=\"88\" x2=\"313\" y2=\"88\" stroke=\"#bfe3f4\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><circle cx=\"115\" cy=\"88\" r=\"26\" fill=\"#1ba3dd\"\/><text x=\"115\" y=\"95\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"22\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#ffffff\">1<\/text><text x=\"115\" y=\"140\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">Free<\/text><text x=\"115\" y=\"157\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">consultation<\/text><line x1=\"377\" y1=\"88\" x2=\"543\" y2=\"88\" stroke=\"#bfe3f4\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><circle cx=\"345\" cy=\"88\" r=\"26\" fill=\"#1ba3dd\"\/><text x=\"345\" y=\"95\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"22\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#ffffff\">2<\/text><text x=\"345\" y=\"140\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">Custom aligner<\/text><text x=\"345\" y=\"157\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">plan<\/text><line x1=\"607\" y1=\"88\" x2=\"773\" y2=\"88\" stroke=\"#bfe3f4\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><circle cx=\"575\" cy=\"88\" r=\"26\" fill=\"#1ba3dd\"\/><text x=\"575\" y=\"95\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"22\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#ffffff\">3<\/text><text x=\"575\" y=\"140\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">Wear &amp;<\/text><text x=\"575\" y=\"157\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">switch aligners<\/text><circle cx=\"805\" cy=\"88\" r=\"26\" fill=\"#1ba3dd\"\/><text x=\"805\" y=\"95\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"22\" font-weight=\"700\" fill=\"#ffffff\">4<\/text><text x=\"805\" y=\"140\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">Retainer keeps<\/text><text x=\"805\" y=\"157\" text-anchor=\"middle\" font-family=\"Arial,sans-serif\" font-size=\"14\" fill=\"#173a4d\">results<\/text><\/svg><\/figure>\n<h2>Invisalign First price<\/h2>\n<p>At <strong>OrthoDental<\/strong>, treatment with Invisalign First clear aligners is divided into two phases, in line with the growth and development of the child&#8217;s teeth:<\/p>\n<p><a href='https:\/\/orthodental.si\/en\/invisalign-price\/'>The price of Invisalign First treatment<\/a> is split into two phases, with the <strong>first phase costing &euro;2,700 and the second &euro;3,250.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The price includes the individual aligners, the digital treatment plan and regular check-ups.
