What Are Invisalign & Clear Aligners?
Invisalign is one of the most recognized clear aligner systems available today. Clear aligners use a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position without the brackets and wires associated with traditional braces.
At Cranford Orthodontics, we provide Invisalign treatment and other clear aligner solutions based on each patient's needs, treatment goals, and lifestyle. Every aligner plan is digitally designed for precision, comfort, and predictable results.
Using iTero® digital scanning technology, we create highly accurate 3D models of your teeth and can even show you a preview of your future smile before treatment begins.

Invisalign First (Early Orthodontic Treatment)
Early Intervention for Growing Smiles
Invisalign First is designed for younger children who may benefit from early orthodontic (Phase I) treatment. This system helps guide jaw development, create space for incoming permanent teeth, and address early bite issues — all with the comfort of clear aligners.
Our orthodontists evaluate children as early as age 7 to determine if early treatment is beneficial.

- Narrow dental arches requiring expansion
- Crowding of developing teeth

- Early bite problems (crossbite, underbite)
- Guidance of jaw growth
Invisalign First offers a modern alternative to traditional early appliances, including expanders, with a more comfortable and removable design.
Benefits for Children and Parents

Invisalign Palatal Expander (IPE)
A Modern Approach to Early Orthodontic Expansion
For some children, creating additional space in the upper jaw is an important part of early orthodontic treatment. The Invisalign Palatal Expander System (IPE) offers a modern alternative to traditional metal expanders, helping guide jaw development while maximizing comfort and convenience.
Unlike conventional expanders that require manual adjustments, the Invisalign Palatal Expander uses a series of removable appliances designed to gradually widen the upper jaw and support proper dental development.
What Can an Invisalign Palatal Expander Help Correct?
- Narrow upper dental arches
- Crossbites
- Crowding caused by limited space
- Developing bite alignment concerns
- Jaw growth issues that benefit from early intervention
Benefits of Invisalign Palatal Expansion
- Removable for eating and oral hygiene
- No metal screws or wires
- More comfortable than many traditional expanders
- Designed specifically for growing children
- Digital treatment planning for precision
- Supports healthy jaw and dental development
Our orthodontists will determine whether Invisalign First, an Invisalign Palatal Expander, traditional expansion, or monitoring is the most appropriate treatment option for your child.
Invisalign vs. Other Clear Aligner Options
While Invisalign is the most recognized clear aligner system, some patients may be candidates for alternative clear aligner solutions. During your consultation, our orthodontists will evaluate your smile, bite, and treatment goals to determine which aligner system is the best fit.
No matter which aligner option is recommended, you'll receive the same personalized care, digital treatment planning, and expert orthodontic oversight that Cranford Orthodontics is known for.

Step 3: Wearing Your Aligners
You'll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day, changing to a new set every 1–2 weeks.
Step 4: Progress & Results
We monitor your progress with fewer in-office visits while ensuring your treatment stays on track.
Invisalign vs. Braces
Both Invisalign and braces are effective orthodontic treatments, but they differ in appearance, comfort, and lifestyle flexibility.
- Invisalign is removable and nearly invisible
- Braces are fixed and may be better for certain complex cases
- Invisalign allows normal eating habits
- Braces may require dietary restrictions
For some patients, traditional options like Braces may still be recommended depending on treatment goals.
