Can Adults Get Good Results With Invisalign?

Do you think seeking treatment for bite problems and crooked teeth is only appropriate for teens? Think again!

In the last several decades, adults have embraced orthodontic treatment, and today, approximately 1 in 3 orthodontic patients are adults, according to the American Association of Orthodontists. 

Another surprise? You’re no longer limited to a mouthful of metal as your only treatment option. 

InvisalignⓇ treatment involves wearing clear plastic aligners, or trays, that correct your smile beautifully and offer many benefits.

At Modern Age Dentistry, Dr. Ali Saeghi and his caring team are proud to offer Invisalign treatment to adults. He ensures that your treatment is customized, seamless, and comfortable. Our welcoming offices, friendly team, and state-of-the-art treatment support both the health and beauty of your smile.

What are the advantages of Invisalign treatment?

Our adult patients have embraced Invisalign treatment because of the many features that differentiate it from the traditional metal braces. Once you review them, it’s really a no-brainer:

• Treatment isn’t painful, and no uncomfortable tightening is needed, as with braces.
• Invisalign is basically invisible and unnoticeable since aligners are transparent.
• Treatment’s duration is shorter than traditional braces, typically about five months faster. 
• No food or drink restrictions accompany Invisalign treatment, unlike with metal braces.
• Aligners can be removed for easy brushing and flossing of your teeth, as well as eating.
• Treatment is cleaner and more streamlined thanks to the lack of cumbersome wires and brackets.
• You’ll need to visit our office fewer times than with braces, so you gain more time.
• Invisalign can correct complex orthodontic issues.

Invisalign treatment was also developed using SmartTrackⓇ Technology, which allows for more predictable, exact tooth movement. 

There’s no question that Invisalign is ideal for adults, and the results are consistently phenomenal. 

What’s Invisalign treatment like?

You can expect a pleasant, uncomplicated treatment experience with Invisalign. Dr. Saeghi is able to give you a timeframe for your treatment, as well as the details of what will happen as your teeth realign. 

During your first appointment, Dr. Saeghi takes scans or impressions of your teeth that will guide the production of your series of aligners.  

Since your aligners are custom-made for you, they fit precisely, adding to the comfort of your treatment. Every couple of weeks, you receive a slightly different, new aligner set that serves to very gently guide your teeth into the correct position. Dr. Saeghi monitors your progress periodically, about every six weeks or so. 

To guarantee your success, you need to commit to wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours per day, except when you’re eating, brushing your teeth, or flossing, and wearing your custom-made retainers after treatment, which ensures that your positive results endure.

There’s no reason not to consider Invisalign treatment as an adult, and about 100 reasons to consider it! The proof of Invisalign’s success is the countless number of thrilled adult patients of ours walking around with beautifully aligned teeth and stunning smiles.
