As you get older, a properly aligned smile becomes more and more of a priority—both for your self-esteem and your dental health. However, you may not be interested in traditional braces. Luckily, there’s Invisalign®: a clear aligner that you can remove and re-insert as you like. If you’re wondering whether or not to invest in this orthodontic solution as an adult, consider these three benefits.

How Can Adults Benefit From Invisalign?

1. Comfort

When you slip on the clear aligners, you won’t feel much except the smooth plastic against the inside of your lips and cheeks. Traditional metal braces feature sharp wires and brackets, which can easily catch on soft tissues inside the mouth. As an adult, this pain can distract from your work, taking care of your children, or simply enjoying your day. With Invisalign, you don’t have to worry about painful friction inside the mouth or the uncomfortable feeling of food getting stuck in between the hardware. With clear aligners, you simply remove them before eating, and replace them when you’re done, so you can brush and floss as normal.

2. Confidence

invisalignWhile braces might have been something of a status symbol in elementary and middle school, most adults don’t want to sport metal braces at work, school, or among their friends. Whether you’re going on a date, celebrating a special occasion, or presenting in front of your team, Invisalign is a discrete orthodontic solution. When you smile for photos or laugh with friends, you don’t have to worry about covering up your smile—these clear aligners are practically “invisible.”

3. Convenience

If you had traditional braces as a teen, you might remember having to avoid chewing gum, popcorn, and other hard or sticky foods. With Invisalign, you won’t have any dietary restrictions, as you can simply remove the aligners when it’s time to eat. This is perfect for busy adults who are traveling or working around the clock and may not have time to fine-tune their diet. Plus, Invisalign doesn’t require as many frequent visits to the dentist, so you can spend more time tending to your responsibilities instead of sitting in the waiting room.
