Metal braces are considered the default option for orthodontic treatments, but they’re typically associated with children and teenagers. As a result, a lot of adults feel that it’s too late to correct their teeth. However, Invisalign® offers the perfect blend of practicality and social comfort. If you're ready to straighten your smile, consider using these clear retainers for the following reasons.

Why Is Invisalign a Great Option for Adults?

1. Simple Maintenance

Without the metal wires or brackets of braces, it's easier to eat without anything getting stuck in your Invisalign. You can also remove them before meals and while brushing your teeth, so you only need a sterilization solution to keep them clean and safe for your mouth. Additionally, you'll only need to meet with a dentist or orthodontist every couple of weeks, so fitting these appointments into your hectic schedule is much easier.

2. Quick Treatment

Traditional braces tend to take around 18 to 24 months to correct teeth. Invisalign may take a similar amount of time, but in many cases, it's actually quicker. This is especially true if your teeth were previously realigned and you only need another minor adjustment. As a busy adult, the less time it takes to finish a cosmetic dentistry treatment, the better.

3. Comfortable Fit

The last thing you need is to deal with discomfort, pain, or mouth sores on top of your responsibilities. When compared to traditional braces, Invisalign tends to be much more comfortable, partially due to the absence of metal brackets and wires. Also, since you're only supposed to wear them for 22 hours at a time, you can even have a short break from them at least once a day.

4. Transparent Material

Since Invisalign braces are transparent, they're far less noticeable than traditional options. This eliminates most of the social discomfort you may feel as an adult with braces. You can retain your confidence while getting the treatment you need.
