5 Advantages of Invisalign Clear Aligners for Adults

Adults have just as many treatment options as teens do. When it comes to orthodontic treatment, adults now have the option to request Invisalign clear aligner trays. In the past, most people thought that adults couldn’t benefit from orthodontic treatment, but that is no longer the case. Dr. Samra and Dr. Vincelette of SV Orthodontics in Toronto, Ontario, offer Invisalign clear aligner treatment to their adult patients. Clear aligners offer many advantages and are considered safe and effective for adults as well as teens.

1. Easy to care for—Invisalign aligners are easy to clean. It only takes a few minutes a day to clean and care for them. When you take them out to eat, you can put them in your aligner case. After eating and ideally brushing your teeth, you can rinse the Invisalign trays and put them back in your mouth. Once a day or a few times a week, we recommend using an aligner cleaning tablet/Polident tablet in warm water for a few minutes to keep your aligners clean. 
2. Practically invisible – Invisalign Clear aligners snap firmly onto the edges of your teeth. Since they are made from clear plastic, people may not notice them at all unless they are looking for them. You can speak clearly with them in place and will only want to remove them while eating and performing your daily dental hygiene routine. 
3. Easy to remove and replace – Traditional metal braces are glued to your teeth. They are not meant to be removed until the end of your treatment plan. Invisalign aligner trays are easy to remove and replace. Each aligner tray is only meant to be used for one to two weeks at a time. Then a new aligner tray will be used, and so on for the next 12 to 24 months or longer.
4. Ease of Oral Hygiene – Unlike traditional metal braces that are attached to the surface of your teeth, clear aligners are made from a hard plastic material designed to snap on and off the edge of your teeth. You can easily remove the aligners while you eat and brush your teeth, adding another level of protection against tooth decay.
5. Live an active social life without being self-conscious – Invisalign clear aligners  are much harder to see and can actually be removed for short periods, allowing you the freedom to live an active social life without being self-conscious.

Adults who will benefit from the use of braces now have another option to choose from. Clear aligners like Invisalign are now a popular option for active adults who will benefit from orthodontic treatment.
