Unlike old-fashioned metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, comfortable, and virtually invisible. Continue reading to learn why Invisalign is an excellent choice for adults seeking straighter teeth and a more confident smile!

The Benefits of Invisalign for Adults

• Nearly Invisible Appearance: Invisalign aligners are made of clear, smooth plastic that blends naturally with your teeth. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them, making them a great choice for professional adults.
  
  
• Removable for Convenience: Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners can be taken out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You’ll only need to wear them 20-22 hours per day, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain good oral hygiene easily.
  
  
• More Comfortable Than Braces: The smooth plastic aligners won’t irritate your cheeks and gums like traditional braces. Plus, since they are removable, you get periodic breaks throughout the day, reducing discomfort and irritation.

Who is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign can work for all sorts of smiles, from minor alignment issues to more complex cases. Good candidates for orthodontic treatment, including Invisalign, include adults who:

• Have crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth
• Have overbites, underbites, or crossbites
• Want to close spaces between teeth
• Need only minor tooth movement

The only way to know for sure if you'll benefit is to schedule a consultation. Our dentists will perform an exam, take x-rays and photos, and determine if Invisalign is right for you. We create a custom treatment plan to discreetly straighten your unique smile.

What Does Invisalign Treatment Involve?

If Invisalign is recommended, you'll receive 20-30 custom aligners designed specifically for your teeth. Every two weeks, you'll switch to the next set in the series, gradually shifting your teeth into alignment with light, controlled forces.

Treatment times vary based on individual needs:

• Minor corrections may take just a few months
• More complex cases can take a year or longer

You'll visit our office every one to two months for progress checks. These visits help ensure your teeth are moving as planned, and adjustments can be made if needed.

To get the best results:

• Wear your aligners as instructed
• Maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment
• Follow any specific care guidelines from our team

We have many Invisalign success stories available in our office. Seeing real patient transformations can help you understand what’s possible.

A More Youthful, Confident Smile

One of the perks of Invisalign is that it can take years off your appearance. Crooked, gapped, or crowded teeth make you look older than your real age. But once your teeth become properly aligned with Invisalign treatment, your smile takes on a more youthful, vibrant appearance. Patients often get compliments on looking so refreshed and healthy after completing treatment.

Invisalign also promotes better oral health. Crooked teeth with gaps and crowding can trap plaque and lead to decay and gum disease. Straightening your teeth makes them easier to brush and floss thoroughly. Your risk of developing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues is reduced. Properly aligned teeth function better and can last you a lifetime.
