What is wireless orthodontic treatment for children?

Wireless orthodontic treatment (Invisalign) is a treatment method used to straighten crooked and separated teeth with custom-made transparent aligners. In the Invisalign treatment, transparent aligners that surround the teeth are used. Invisalign First treatment is applied to child patients aged between 6-12 years. The adult Invisalign treatment method is exactly the same, with transparent aligners produced specifically for children’s oral structure.
For children to start orthodontic treatment with transparent aligners, they must have lost their milk teeth and at least their second molars must have partially erupted.
