Advancements in Invisalign Technology

Posted on January 20, 2026

Nashua, NH – If you’ve been putting off orthodontic treatment, now is the time to discover the amazing advances in Invisalign clear aligner treatment. No longer is clear aligner treatment just for mild crowding – now, patients with all types of malocclusions can benefit from Invisalign treatment.

“My team works hard to stay at the forefront of the latest innovations in the orthodontic world,” says Dr. Chelian “Invisalign treatment of today goes far beyond just helping minor issues. We can help guide jaw growth and fix complex overbites. We are so excited to offer our Nashua patients the most efficient, comfortable, and effective care.”

Here a look at some of Invisalign’s latest advancements:

1. Invisalign First for growing smiles

Early intervention can be crucial for many growing smiles between the ages of 6 and 10. In the past, patients have required metal expanders or even partial braces for this. Invisalign First was designed specifically for children at this age to help address issues such as crowding, spacing, and narrow arches.

Invisalign First can create room for the remaining permanent teeth to erupt and can even shorten the second phase of treatment. And it provides the same benefits as regular Invisalign treatment – the aligners are removable, so kids can brush, floss, eat, and drink as usual.

2. Invisalign Palatal Expander

Traditional palatal expanders are made of metal and a tiny key that is used to activate it. While the expander is worn, a parent or guardian uses the key to “turn” the expander at regular intervals. Traditional palatal expansion has been revolutionized with Invisalign.

The Invisalign palatal expander consists of a series of 3D printed, removable devices that work to gently widen the upper palate. There is no need for manual adjustments, and because the devices are removable, maintaining oral hygiene is a breeze.

3. Invisalign with Mandibular Advancement

Invisalign with mandibular advancement is one of the most exciting technological advances. This treatment is designed specifically for tweens and teens with significant overbites and removes the need for bulky treatment such as Herbst appliances and headgear.

Invisalign with mandibular advancement works to correct the jaw while also straightening the teeth. Precision wings engage to gently guide the lower jaw forward to create a harmonious bite.
