As adults we tend to become more aware and conscious of ourselves and what the world around us thinks. Although you may be insecure about your smile and dream of straighter teeth, it may also concern you what other people may think about an adult with braces. Whilst adults with braces have nothing to be ashamed of many of us may feel more comfortable with the idea of the possibility to straighten your teeth in secret.
Invisalign is a removable aligner system whereby a patient is given a series of aligners to make there way through, following the plan of the dentist. The aligners are clear, flexible and discreet, appealing to adults who desire straighter teeth without the metal.
The constant, non-stop lives that we live make it difficult to find a ‘right time’ to begin the straightening journey. We can feel conscious that with braces we won’t be able to smile in photos of the wedding that is around the corner, the upcoming holiday photo’s or not being able to enjoy a steak over a nice meal with friends that we haven’t seen in ‘forever’. The beauty of Invisalign is the freedom it allows the patient to have in these scenarios plus many more.
Dentists advise to wear Invisalign for a minimum of 22 hours a day, only taking them out when brushing your teeth, eating and when drinking anything other than water. The flexibility of being able to remove the aligners allows the patient to clean their teeth more thoroughly and prevents food from becoming stuck in between any brackets or wires that a fixed appliance would include.
Everybody deserves a smile they love and Invisalign may be the answer to unlocking yours!
