While many teens these days are fortunate enough to have orthodontic work initiated and completed at a time when it is common to see braces on the teeth of their peers, there are millions of adults who wish they had had the opportunity to have their teeth straightened when they were younger. It’s never too late to get the smile of your dreams, and if misaligned teeth are keeping you from loving your smile, Invisalign clear braces can be the answer to your cosmetic dental hopes and dreams.
Invisalign Clear Braces
The system of clear aligners allows people of almost any age to achieve straighter teeth without the need to wear uncomfortable and unattractive metal brackets and wires on their teeth. Instead, teeth are gently moved into their correct position through the use of a series of clear aligners that are virtually unnoticeable. The aligners are similar to a clear mouthguard that is created to exactly fit the patient’s teeth at each stage in the alignment process, with each aligner in the series worn for approximately two weeks. At the end of each period, the next aligner in the series replaces the one previously being worn to continue to alignment process.
One of the biggest advantages for adults who are interested in straightening their teeth using Invisalign is that they don’t have to be self-conscious about wearing braces at a time in their lives that it is not typical for people to wear braces. Since the aligners are made from clear plastic, they are almost unnoticeable and leave wearers far less uncomfortable with their overall appearance. Additionally, the aligners are comfortable to wear, with no sharp wires or brackets that can cut into gums or the inside of the cheek, so this option is overall a much more comfortable option.
While each individual will have to make their own decision about the path they wish to pursue in order to achieve a more attractive smile, the advantages offered by Invisalign make it a good option for people of all ages and at all stages in life. Of course, there is a cost associated with this cosmetic dental option so that must be carefully considered when determining the best course of action for improving the look of your smile (or if you even want to undergo any work at all). The best plan of action is to first discuss any options with your dentist, as well as all pros and cons of each choice, before you make a decision about the best treatment option to meet all of your needs.
Invisalign is an increasingly popular choice for adults who strive to have a more well-aligned set of teeth in order to improve their smile and removes some of the drawbacks associated with other orthodontic options that may dissuade individuals of this age group from moving forward with alignment correction. If straighter teeth has been on your wish list for some time, now be the right time to get Invisalign braces.
