OrthoAlight Kinder
OrthoAlight offers a system for correcting the bite and straightening the teeth using transparent OrthoAlight Kinder aligners for children from 6 years old!
Children's aligners are the most convenient way to correct bite and dental defects. They are made as an invisible, painless and non-traumatic replacement for fixed braces or orthodontic plates.
Timeliness
Treatment can begin before all milk teeth are replaced, which is not possible when bonding a fixed system. It is important that the earlier the treatment starts, the less time it will take and the faster the result will be achieved.
Term of treatment
Each pair of aligners gradually moves the teeth according to the treatment plan. The process of bite correction becomes simple, predictable and painless.
Safe and comfortable
The correction process is painless and non-traumatic (in contrast to fixed braces and metal plates, which can damage the gums and tongue and cheeks).
Invisible on teeth
They are almost imperceptible on the teeth and do not cause problems with diction.
Comfortable
OrthoAlight Kinder aligners are comfortable to wear and care for (the child can remove and insert them and clean their teeth).
Recommendations for using children's aligners:
- Tooth narrowing
- Trem/diastema
- Reverse incisor overlap
- Tortoanomalies of teeth
- Tooth crowding
- Tooth extension
- Making room for the erupting tooth
Wearing aligners does not require a change in diet, frequent visits to the doctor, refusal of certain sports (wrestling, martial arts, ballroom dancing, rhythmic gymnastics and others).
With aligners, the child can live a normal lifestyle:
- Catering
- Traveling
- Engaging in your favorite sport
Specifics of working with children's OrthoAlight Kinder aligners:
We reduce the production time and eliminate the risk that the aligners will not sit on the child's teeth. In order for the child to receive the first pair of aligners as soon as possible, no more than 10 calendar days must pass from the moment the laboratory receives the impressions until the doctor approves the set.

Children's aligners are individual orthodontic products designed to correct the bite of children. Before starting the treatment, we visualize the entire process of tooth movement.
We create a virtual plan for FREE
The growth of a child's jaw is inevitable. Therefore, we offer 2 treatment options:
- Four months
- Seven months
However, jaw growth can occur faster. To protect you from situations where aligners do not need to be deployed for such growth, we also include a revision in each package, i.e. we create a new virtual treatment plan for free and make aligners for free in case they don't fit (don't fit).
Children's aligners are intended for children from 6 to 12 years old. The sphere of their use is wider than the sphere of plates - they are used not only for extension, but also for other movements. OrthoAlight Kinder is also more comfortable to wear. They don't have activators because they don't allow for as much movement as adult aligners. They are used only in exceptional cases, if the aligners are not placed firmly on the teeth (they fall out). Perfectly straight teeth are not necessary when using OrthoAlight Kinder, because they determine the vector for proper tooth growth. Their goal is to create conditions for proper teeth cutting, timely correction of these disorders, which cannot be self-regulated.
Specificity of aligners
Since aligners are a separate product, diagnosis is essential. For this purpose, the doctor takes impressions, photographs and also performs X-ray images of the teeth.
All examination results will be sent to OrthoAlight. Based on the diagnostic data, the OrthoAlight laboratory creates a virtual treatment plan on the computer for FREE - 3D planning and calculates the treatment time, the number of aligners and the exact cost of your treatment.
Children's aligners are made in several steps:
The first step (upper and lower jaw) is 3 aligners, each one is worn for 10 days, so this step is designed for 1 month. All three aligners in one step are made according to one model and differ only in thickness.
The first aligner should wobble the tooth, its thickness is 0.5 mm. The second aligner - 0.65 mm - moves the tooth. The third - 0.75 mm - consolidates the achieved result. The volume of movements on children's aligners is 2 times greater, because one step is designed for a longer period of time than with aligners for adults.
Impression requirements for children's aligners - special children's spoons
Recommendations
From the point of view of use, plastic ones are better. They are also easier to adjust. If necessary, you can trim or transform the sides. The material for impressions is the same as for adults - A-silicone. The removal technique is traditional, two-phase - first the base layer is applied and then the corrective one, or they can be applied simultaneously. In both cases there are pluses and minuses. Since a child at the age of 8-9 still has many milk teeth and their size is smaller than that of permanent teeth, the doctor is advised to make an impression so deep that the material overlaps the mucosa by 3-4 mm. The correction mass should be evenly distributed along the border of the basic impression. The requirements are the same as when taking impressions for aligners for adults. However, it is necessary to push away from 4 mm of the vestibular surface and palate, as they will be trimmed higher than in adults.
