You would be surprised how many adults are requesting braces nowadays. A few years ago, you would rarely have heard of adults wearing braces to correct their smiles, but now, the situation is very different. People’s mindsets have changed –some for better and some for worse – and braces is one of the fields that got affected by that change. Nothing is more important than appearance these days. Your appearance is just not complete without a beautiful smile, explaining the current surge of adult braces demands.
However, some adults still can’t get over the looks of braces. Yes they know they are necessary to straighten their teeth, but just refuse to wear a mouth full of metal for a year or so. And along came the solution .. Invisalign for adults.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a new form of braces that solved almost every problem with the old forms. No more metallic brackets, wires and elastics of many colors. All these are replaced by plastic, transparent and nearly invisible molds called aligners. You wear these aligners on the outer surface of your teeth, and they do all the work. They apply a pressure action to move the teeth where we need them, closing gaps and correcting crowding, among other movements necessary to give you a straight and beautiful smile.

Is Invisalign for adults the best option?
In 90% of the cases, Invisalign is the right solution. Whether you suffer from crooked teeth, crowding in your teeth, gaps, overbites or underbites, Invisalign is the way to go. Perhaps the only time when Invisalign is not the right option is when the problem originates from the jaw bones rather than the teeth. When your jaw sizes mismatch, Traditional braces are the right option. Sometimes even the situation is too severe, requiring surgery for proper correction.
Why is Invisalign better than normal braces?
- It looks far better. No more metal mouth. This is probably its greatest advantage and the reason it is so in demand nowadays.
- You can remove the aligners at will. If you have a special occasion where you have to look your best, then by all means leave your aligners at home. In addition, nothing attached to your teeth means cleaning is far easier, and oral hygiene is greatly improved.
- The aligners are made with computers. This not only improves the accuracy, virtually eliminating human errors, but it means Invisalign is a lot faster than normal braces in treating most cases.
- The pushing motion is far more comfortable than pulling. So while normal braces can be quite uncomfortable (especially in the first few weeks), Invisalign patients report no discomfort during the course of their treatment.
- Nothing attached to your teeth, so no more cuts, scrapes and bruises to your lips and cheeks, further adding to the comfort.
