ProviderWhere Aesthetics Meet Functionality
If you're anything like our typical adult patients at Douglas Orthodontics, aesthetics and lifestyle are two of your primary considerations when it comes to orthodontic treatment. Where these needs converge, you'll find Invisalign there to meet you.
What with work, family, social life, hobbies, sports, and more, your average American adult has a lot going on! This can make it hard to commit to yet another responsibility, no matter how good it may be for your oral health.
Enter Invisalign's clear, removable aligners. Invisalign recognized the common needs and concerns among adult orthodontic patients, and designed this orthodontic treatment method specifically to address them.
Thanks to Invisalign's removable aligners, much of your daily life can remain unaffected during treatment. Plus, with their barely-there appearance, many people won't even notice you're wearing them.
Orthodontic Care Has No Age Limit
It's never too late to start your orthodontic journey! If you're an adult who has been living with misalignments and bite problems since childhood, orthodontic treatment can be life-changing.
More About Orthodontics for AdultsThe Invisalign Process
Invisalign, like traditional braces, straightens teeth by applying gentle, consistent pressure to the teeth over time.
But with Invisalign, there are no brackets and wires to worry about. Treatment comes in the form of a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners.
Each aligner plays a specific role and is then switched out for the next one until the desired results are achieved. It's that simple!
Benefits of Invisalign
Smooth, Removable Aligners
Invisalign aligners are constructed of smooth, clear plastic, which means there's less friction than with the metal and wires that come with traditional braces. Plus, since they're removable, you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, leaving these daily routines unaffected by treatment.
Low-Profile Aesthetic
Invisalign's discreet look is probably one of its biggest benefits. In fact, many adult patients make the decision to undergo orthodontic treatment they've been putting off because Invisalign has put their aesthetic concerns to rest.
Fewer Visits to the Orthodontist
Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners require no adjustments. This means there's no need to visit our office for frequent adjustment appointments – just the occasional checkup so we can monitor your progress.
