Why More Adults Are Choosing Invisalign
Adults often choose Invisalign because it’s discreet and fits easily into daily life. Clear aligners let you straighten your teeth without drawing attention. They’re also removable, which means you can eat what you want and brush and floss like usual.
For a lot of people, it’s not only about having a nicer-looking smile. Invisalign can help with functional issues that might lead to worn-down teeth or jaw soreness if ignored.
What to Expect from Invisalign Treatment
Your Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation and digital scan of your teeth. From there, you’ll receive a series of custom-made aligners to wear for about 20 to 22 hours a day.
You will switch to a new set every one to two weeks, depending on your treatment plan. Most adults complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, but this will vary based on your case.
We’ll schedule check-ins at the office every six to eight weeks to track your progress and make sure everything is moving as planned.
Who’s a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign works well for many adults, especially those dealing with mild to moderate spacing, crowding, or minor bite issues. If your teeth have shifted over time or you never had braces as a teen, clear aligners may be a simple way to get things back in line.
That said, Invisalign isn’t right for everyone. If you have active gum disease, untreated cavities, or severe bite misalignment, those issues will need to be addressed first, or you may need a different treatment plan altogether.
Consistency is also important. Because the aligners are removable, success depends on wearing them 20 to 22 hours a day, so you must be willing to commit to them.
