Why Adults Choose Invisalign®

Why Adults Choose Invisalign®

For many adults, the idea of getting braces later in life is not an enticing proposition. Orthodontic treatment seems like something reserved for teen years. While some more difficult adult cases may require the advanced orthodontic care that only wire braces can deliver, others have the option of \"invisible braces\" with Invisalign®.

Invisalign® uses a series of clear, removable, and comfortable aligners to help teeth gradually shift into place. Maybe you didn't have the opportunity to receive orthodontic care when you were younger, or maybe an issue has now arisen requiring care. Regardless, many of our patients are pleasantly surprised to discover that beautifully straight teeth can be both affordable and discreet.

Here are a few reasons why adults are choosing Invisalign®:

1. DISCRETION

Whether you need a few smile tweaks or a more substantial smile transformation, many of us would prefer that others not know we are making a change. With Invisalign's clear and virtually invisible aligners, friends and co-workers may never know you are wearing them until your treatment is finished and they are surprised by your beautifully straight smile.

2. COMFORT

Pursuing careers, managing kids, and engaging all the other challenges of adulthood delivers enough stress without adding the potential discomfort of wire braces. Invisalign® provides a comfortable solution because each aligner is personalized and custom designed to fit precisely over your teeth as it puts gentle pressure on the teeth to move them into place.

3. CONVENIENCE

One of the benefits of adulthood is that we get to eat whatever we want, whenever we want it. Although we may have to watch our waistline and health, we still love to indulge in treats. Because Invisalign® aligners are removable they allow you to eat anything at anytime. Simply remove the aligners, eat what you want and replace the aligners when finished. They can also be removed for other activities, as you only need to wear them about 22 hours a day.

4. TIME

Adults are busy. Invisalign® typically requires fewer dental appointments and often works faster than traditional wire braces.

5. CARE

While traditional wire braces require extra oral care, Invisalign® keeps it simple and easy. Just remove the aligners, brush and floss your teeth, and replace the aligners.
