What is Angel Aligner KiD?

Gentle treatments for growing smiles

It’s common for parents to be told their child is too young to start orthodontic treatment – especially on the NHS. But in some cases, beginning earlier can make a big difference.

Angel Aligner KiD is designed for children as young as nine and offers a gentle, flexible approach to early treatment. These clear, removable aligners make it easier to guide jaw growth, close gaps and reduce overbites – all before problems become more complex or harder to correct.

What is Angel Aligner KiD?

Angel Aligner KiD is a clear aligner system specially developed for younger children in the mixed dentition stage – when baby teeth and adult teeth are both present. Unlike traditional fixed braces, these aligners are removable, comfortable and made with kids in mind.

Each set is custom-made and can include built-in features that gently guide the jaw, maintain space for future teeth and correct developing bite problems. We can even use aligners to discourage habits like tongue thrusting – all without metal wires or brackets.

Why early intervention matters

Early treatment isn’t just about appearances. It’s about helping your child’s teeth and jaws develop in a healthy way – potentially avoiding more complex treatment in the future.

By acting early, we can often reduce crowding, encourage better jaw growth and gently guide adult teeth into place as they come through. And with aligners, this can all happen in a way that fits easily into your child’s daily routine – and yours.

A modern alternative to traditional appliances

KiD aligners do the work of multiple appliances – without the need for metal braces, separate functional devices or extra visits. Features like tongue cribs and occlusal ramps are built directly into the aligner, making treatment more comfortable and less invasive.

Because the aligners are removable, children can eat, brush and floss as normal – with no food restrictions and no complicated cleaning routines.

No waiting lists, no delays

If your child is suitable for Angel Aligner KiD, we can usually begin treatment from around the age of nine – especially if there are signs of spacing, protruding teeth or early bite issues.

Because we offer private care, there’s no need to wait. We can begin gently, at the right time for your child, well before NHS orthodontic treatment might even be considered. This can help prevent more complex problems later on and may reduce the need for braces during the teenage years altogether.

How treatment works

Each child receives a fully customised set of aligners, designed using 3D scans and digital planning by a specialist orthodontist. The aligners are worn for 22 hours a day and changed regularly to gradually move the teeth and guide jaw development.

We’ll see your child throughout their treatment to check their progress and make any adjustments.

Angel Aligners can include clever additions like:

• Tongue crib aligners to stop tongue thrusting
• Lingual guidance to support correct tongue posture
• Eruption guides to help permanent teeth come through in the right place
• Inclined planes to gently reposition the lower jaw

Treatment length varies depending on growth and complexity – but typically takes between 6 to 18 months.
