A Clear Path to Straighter Smiles
At Sunshine Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, we offer advanced Invisalign treatment designed specifically for children and teens. Our clear aligner therapy provides a modern, comfortable, and discreet way to achieve beautiful results without the visibility of braces. As a trusted provider of Invisalign in San Antonio, our orthodontic team—including board-certified orthodontist Dr. Patricia Reese—guides every child through a personalized treatment plan built around their lifestyle and goals.

How Invisalign Works
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually move teeth into alignment. Each set is worn for about two weeks, and aligners are swapped out as treatment progresses. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is removable, making eating, brushing, and flossing easier for children and teens.
This treatment is ideal for mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowding
- Spacing
- Overbites and underbites
- Crossbites
- Minor jaw alignment concerns

Invisalign for Kids
Younger children with developing mouths can benefit from Invisalign for kids through Invisalign First®, a system specifically designed for ages 6–10. This early interceptive approach can guide jaw growth, create space for incoming teeth, and reduce the need for more invasive treatment later.

Invisalign for Teens
Invisalign for teens offers flexibility, comfort, and subtlety during some of the most socially conscious years. With no brackets or wires, teens enjoy a low-profile treatment option that fits easily into sports, music, and school routines. Each aligner is crafted with precision to deliver gradual, consistent movement while accommodating the natural changes in a growing teen’s smile.

Common Invisalign Questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take for kids and teens?
Most Invisalign treatments for young patients range from 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of the case and how consistently aligners are worn.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Patients may feel slight pressure during the first few days of each new aligner, but the process is generally more comfortable than traditional braces.
What if my child loses an aligner?
We work with Invisalign to replace lost aligners when needed. It’s important to contact our office as soon as possible if one is misplaced.
Is Invisalign as effective as braces?
In many cases, yes. For mild to moderate alignment concerns, Invisalign is a highly effective alternative. For complex orthodontic issues, we may recommend traditional braces instead.
How do I keep aligners clean?
We’ll provide a full care guide at the start of treatment. Aligners can be cleaned with a soft toothbrush and cool water—avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic.
