Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment that eliminates the combination of metal brackets and wires associated with braces. Instead, it uses a series of transparent, removable plastic trays known as aligners to move the teeth to their correct positions. The aligners are nearly invisible when on the teeth and can be taken off for drinking, eating, brushing, or flossing.
This means that no one will be able to tell that the patient is undergoing teeth straightening treatment. Also, there are no dietary cautions that come with traditional braces, and maintaining good oral hygiene is a lot easier than ever. From losing the first baby tooth to being a teenager, having straight teeth is essential to one's health.
In contrast to the lone set of wires and brackets that come with braces, pediatric Invisalign breaks into several pairs of aligners, with the patient wearing each pair for about two weeks at a time. To produce the aligners, our pediatric dentist will take full digital scans of the child's dentition to map out the teeth's gradual movement to their proper position. We will then use this to fashion the set of aligners to conform to the different checkpoints on that path.
Each pair of aligners in the set induce a small level of pressure on the teeth, making them move along the jaw until they reach the next checkpoint. The movement is only a few millimeters before the aligners are replaced with the next ones in the set. By the time the patient gets to the last pair in the aligner set, they will have their dentition in proper alignment.
Invisalign for children has all the advantages of regular Invisalign but includes specific modifications to match the child's lifestyle. Each aligner set is fitted with a Blue Dot Compliance Indicator, which shows if the teen has worn the aligners long enough or has deviated, allowing patients and the pediatric dentist to monitor the progress of the treatment.
Also, the aligner set comes with six complimentary replacement aligners in the event of breakage or loss. This means parents can rest assured, knowing the teenager will be able to stick to the treatment plan, despite their active lifestyle.
Children can take off the aligners to brush and floss and usual. They can also clean the aligners easy to keep their teeth looking clean and health away with the meticulous cleaning process that comes with metal braces.
If the child stays consistent by wearing the aligners day and night, except when eating, they may even get faster or better results than their parents. With compliance, the result for kids can be similar, if not better, than teens or adults.
Before now, children would need to lose their baby teeth before starting Invisalign. Now, there is an Invisalign treatment option to meet the needs of younger children. This system is specially created to target arch expansion. With this option, patients can begin their treatment as early as seven years old, while they still have some of their baby teeth.
There are many diet restrictions for regular braces. However, with pediatric Invisalign, there is no need to change what the child eats. They can eat whatever they want after removing the aligners and cleaning their teeth before placing the aligners back in the mouth.
When the child starts treatment, they can floss and brush their teeth like beforeno need to buy special floss threaders or angled toothbrushes. The Invisalign treatment comes with the aligners and carrying case. The system contains everything the child needs throughout the treatment.
Anyone can misplace items. The child can lose their aligners during lunch in school after taking them off to eat. If the child loses the aligner, parents need to inform the dentist so they can provide a replacement. If the next set is almost due, the child can continue with treatment.
For effectiveness, the child needs to wear the aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours daily and adhere to the treatment plan. The blue indicators on the aligners react to saliva and fade over time. If the aligners are worn regularly, the indicator will have faded completely after two weeks, and the child can move to the next set.

not happy. I was enamored with their texting service sending lots of reminders, and was really looking forward to my child's first dentist experience. I talked it up for days to my kid so he would be excited instead of scared. 20 minutes before the appointment we got a text (after driving 2.5 hours one way) that they require masks on all patients and parents. This should have been a part of every text, after 6-8 text reminders to get this at the last minute is intentional and underhanded, it should have been accompanying EVERY text, no reason not to other than being underhanded. We thought, maybe it's just something they say and not something they really care about, but upon entering the office person was extremely rude, no pleasantries at all, immediately told us we had to put on masks. We simply said "no thank you" and left. There's no reason in september of 2022 to keep beating this dead horse, if I had known about this at the start, I would not have scheduled the appointment in the first place, not driven 5 hours round trip for nothing and not wasted their appointment space. Again, this isn't just about the masks, it is about the very rude office person as well. I was not going to let that be my child's first dental experience. Hopefully this will help other independently thinking parents to avoid this office.... edited to respond, that is such a B.S. answer, there are a plethora of offices that do not require masks, just own your stance at least, this is exactly the underhanded and b.s. tactic that caused us to walk out.

We have had good experiences with Dr. Campbell. My child is a fairly new patient, but, so far, Dr. Campbell does not seem to be too heavy handed on procedures. I appreciate that, as I felt that our last dentist always had some sort of new procedure that she wanted to do.

I'm so pleased we found Dr. Campbell's office. My daughter has sensory issues, particularly in regards to her mouth, but she got through her entire appointment without incident because of Flossy the therapy bunny--and also the kindness of the whole staff and Dr. Campbell. Very happy we found this place for her dental care!

I have been bringing a young man who I work with to see Dr. Campbell for almost 15 years now (Dr. Campbell has seen him longer than that, as he was already working with him when I started) I cannot say enough great things about this office. My client has a hx of difficult behaviors and non-compliance, but Dr. Campbell manages to keep his cool and is always able to talk him through it with ease. I'm very thankful my buddy has such a great dentist.

We love Dr Campbell! Our 8 year old (back then) had to get some cavities filled and one tooth removed. The dentist before Dr Campbell did not want to try to do it without gas, which I didn't want. I called Dr Campbell's office and they said they are not using gas. That statement told me that Dr Campbell must be experienced in a painless technique to give kids injections. Our first appointment was removing his tooth, it was sooo fast and just like i thought he had a technique in giving kids injections, because my son did not flinch at all. We went back twice more to get the fillings done both times he had injections and never flinched. He truly is a great dentist and he is also teaching my son that no matter what you have to get done at the dentist, it is not scary and does not have to be painful. I also had a great experience with my toddler. When she was 2 we had Dr Campbell check her teeth. She wasn't really having it but Dr Campbell was patient with her. We went back again (she is now 3) and she didn't move one bit. Ms Flossy helped as well! I also wanted to say that the staff is AMAZING as well, from the dental assistants/hygienists to the front desk staff. Thank you Dr Campbell and Team!
