Why Invisalign is great for adults
It’s a popular myth that orthodontic solutions like braces or Invisalign are exclusively designed for children and adolescents. In reality, Invisalign is a highly effective treatment for adults as well. Many adults favor Invisalign over braces, primarily due to its transparent appearance and faster results. Surprisingly, Invisalign and braces are usually priced similarly. We invite patients from in and around the Pleasant Hill, California, area to delve deeper into the advantages of Invisalign, especially for adults looking to achieve perfectly aligned, evenly spaced, and attractive teeth with the help of our team at Pleasant Hill Dental.
What is Invisalign?
Dr. Cheng Zhu and his team at Pleasant Hill Dental best describe the Invisalign treatment as a customized set of clear plastic aligners designed to fit the patient’s teeth perfectly. Like traditional braces, these aligners gradually shift the teeth into their desired position over time. However, unlike braces, they are virtually invisible and can be easily removed for eating or brushing.
Why is Invisalign great for adults?
- Straighter teeth in a shorter period: As adults, we often have less time to spend on orthodontic treatment due to work or family commitments. Invisalign offers a faster solution than traditional braces, with an average treatment time of 12-18 months.
- Comfort and convenience: The aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth comfortably without any metal brackets or wires that can irritate. They are also removable, allowing you to eat and brush your teeth as you normally would.
- Boost in self-confidence: Many adults may feel self-conscious about wearing traditional braces since they can be noticeable and affect their appearance. With Invisalign’s transparent appearance, you can confidently go about your daily life without worrying about how your smile looks to others.
- Minimal irritation and discomfort: The smooth, plastic aligners are less likely to irritate traditional braces, which can have sharp edges and require frequent adjustments.
- No restrictions on food choices: Since Invisalign aligners can be removed, you can enjoy all your favorite foods without the fear of damaging brackets or wires.
