Adult Teeth Straightening: Is Invisalign® Right for You?
Are you interested in learning more about Invisalign® clear aligners to determine if it is an effective treatment option for you? Many people who want straighter teeth do not think about the daily routine necessary to take care of braces or clear aligners. Considering how convenient your teeth straightening option will be is important, as the average time it takes to straighten one’s teeth is 18 months.
About Invisalign
Invisalign is an orthodontic appliance that works by slowly moving teeth into alignment over time using trays made of polyurethane resin, making them clear. Unfortunately, only some patients are considered ideal candidates for the system; therefore, we require an initial consultation to determine eligibility to get started.
During the consultation, the dental professional will review the patient’s dental history and perform an in-depth physical examination (including X-rays). Eligibility will depend on the severity of misalignment or jaw shape and size.
Is Invisalign the right choice?
The following list includes the exciting benefits of choosing Invisalign clear aligners to straighten teeth.
Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible
The fact that clear aligners are virtually invisible when being worn makes this teeth-straightening option popular among adults. Many adults would rather keep their teeth straightening to themselves, making clear aligners ideal. Since there is an option to completely remove the aligners for a certain amount of time (at least 22 hours) every day, if someone is concerned that their aligners will be seen, they can simply remove them.
Invisalign clear aligners are comfortable
The Invisalign system crafts custom clear aligners for each patient. This means there is no need to wear generic aligners. This also means adults can expect to be comfortable when wearing their aligners, as they are not only an ideal fit but also made out of a safe and smooth plastic that does not irritate the mouth.
Invisalign clear aligners require little maintenance
Since patients can completely remove Invisalign clear aligners from their mouths, they require little maintenance when taking care of them. The clear aligners need to be cleaned and brushed, but since each set is only worn for about two weeks, the aligners tend to stay in good condition throughout the entire treatment.
Invisalign clear aligners often work faster
Because Invisalign aligners are specifically designed and created for the individual patient, the average treatment time for wearing these clear aligners is 18 months. However, following the dental professional's instructions is essential for patients to expect the results they are looking for. If they do not, it could add weeks and possibly months to the overall treatment time.
Start the process today
Adults who do not want to wear braces may be able to benefit from the Invisalign system. While this treatment is also ideal for teens, adults are more attracted to it because they can straighten their teeth quickly and discreetly. The results will be the same as if you chose a traditional method.
