Clear aligners for kids
Top clear aligner provider in Rosenberg & Sugar Land
If your child’s teeth have gaps or other issues that need addressing, clear aligners are a new solution for this age group. With clear aligners, your child will have special aligners made just for them to help correct problems before their permanent teeth come in.
How clear aligners for kids work
Clear aligners work by applying pressure to problem areas to move and rotate teeth. Your child’s custom-made plastic aligners will gradually shift their teeth into the correct positions, addressing common orthodontic issues like crossbites, crowding and spacing. Children can remove their clear aligners for mealtime and brushing and flossing.
Garrett & Boyd Orthodontics provides kids with a personalized clear aligner treatment. Every few weeks, your child will receive a new aligner as their teeth move into the desired spot. We use an iTero® digital system to ensure accurate measurements, maximum comfort and outstanding results.
Are clear aligners right for your child?
Clear aligner treatment is one of numerous early treatment options for younger kids. Is it a good fit for your child? The best candidates for this plan:
- Are 6-10 years old: Children should get an evaluation by age 7. This check-up will reveal any issues and start your child on the right track for their oral health journey.
- Need to correct oral habits: Although thumb sucking and pacifier use come naturally to infants, practicing these habits excessively might affect their teeth. Clear aligner treatment is an excellent way to correct these behaviors and encourage healthier ones, such as flossing.
- Are mature and responsible: Will your child be able to keep up with their aligners and comply with directions? Be sure to explain the treatment’s importance and remind your youngster to take the aligners out and put them back in on time.
Benefits of clear aligners

Children can easily brush their teeth, floss and eat what they want. These hassle-free aligners are simple to clean — rinse them in white vinegar and warm water and brush them with a toothbrush. Clear aligners help kids be healthier and more independent.
No dietary restrictions
Whether it’s candy or popcorn, your child can enjoy their favorite snacks and foods anytime. Dinnertime, summer barbecues and family get-togethers will be as delicious and memorable as usual!
