Growing Smiles, Made Simple

At Orthodontix, located in Forestville and Northbridge, we specialise in transforming young smiles using the latest in orthodontic technology. One of the most effective, comfortable treatments for growing children with jaw discrepancies is Invisalign® with mandibular advancement.

This advanced system is designed for tweens and teens who need both teeth straightening and correction of a lower jaw that sits too far back (Class II malocclusion). Instead of traditional bulky appliances, Invisalign’s clear aligners come with precision wings that gently reposition the jaw while also aligning the teeth—all in one seamless solution.

Why Choose Invisalign with Mandibular Advancement?

  • 2-in-1 Treatment
    Straightens teeth and guides jaw development at the same time.

  • Discreet & Comfortable
    Clear, removable aligners that are smooth and irritation-free—no wires or brackets.

  • Ideal for Young Patients
    Perfect for kids and teens still growing, especially those seeking a subtle, confidence-boosting option.

  • Expert Care Across the Northern Beaches
    Our Forestville and Northbridge clinics are led by specialist orthodontists who tailor every treatment to your child’s unique growth and orthodontic needs.

Caring for Your Invisalign Mandibular Advancement

Maintaining your aligners is key to ensuring effective results and good oral health. Here’s how to keep everything clean, safe, and working properly throughout your child’s treatment.

1. Cleaning the Aligners and Expander Wings

  • Brush Thoroughly: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean both teeth and the appliance. Pay close attention to the mandibular advancement wings and the screw mechanism.

  • Use the Right Cleaners: Invisalign cleaning crystals or gentle denture cleaners are ideal. Avoid harsh toothpaste directly on the expander—it may be too abrasive.

  • Rinse with Lukewarm Water: After every use and cleaning, rinse aligners well to keep them fresh and bacteria-free.

2. Wearing the Aligners

  • Stick to the Schedule: Follow your Orthodontix specialist’s advice on daily wear time—this consistency is crucial for success.

  • Remove to Eat (If Advised): Most patients are advised to remove their aligners before eating. Follow your orthodontist’s guidance.

  • Avoid Harmful Foods: Steer clear of sticky lollies, sugary snacks, or anything hard that might damage the appliance or your teeth.

3. Daily Oral Hygiene

  • Brush and Floss Daily: Keep your mouth healthy by brushing twice a day and flossing once.

  • Rinse After Eating: Swish water around your mouth after meals to flush out food particles before putting your aligners back in.

4. Additional Tips

  • Attend All Appointments: Regular visits to Orthodontix Forestville or Orthodontix Northbridge help us track your child’s progress and make adjustments if needed.
