Many adults think they're stuck with their uneven smiles because they're too old for treatment. But actually, anyone with healthy teeth and gums can have their teeth straightened. Dr. Sophie considers Invisalign to be an ideal treatment option for adults. Here’s why.
Orthodontic treatment is most commonly associated with children and teens, but more and more adults are getting the orthodontic treatment that they missed out on when they were younger.
In the past, adults were put off by the idea of wearing metal braces because they're just so obvious. Fortunately, modern orthodontics now offers a variety of discreet treatment options, including Invisalign clear aligners, that aren’t as visible as traditional metal braces are.
This means that adult orthodontic patients need no longer worry about how their orthodontic appliances will look when worn.
Invisalign is a series of clear plastic aligners that straighten teeth just like metal braces do. The important difference is that they are clear, and more difficult to see when worn. In fact, they're almost invisible!
This aspect makes Invisalign an ideal treatment option for adults with concerns about aesthetics.
