When people think about fixing crooked teeth, they often imagine children going through orthodontic treatment. Well, orthodontics is not just for kids. One-fifth of patients currently undergoing orthodontic care are adults. Also, because orthodontia has evolved over the decades, adults have more options than ever before. Because of this, many people are looking into Invisalign treatment for adults.
Freedom with Invisalign Treatment for Adults
Invisalign offers a lot of freedom as a treatment option. The aligners are removable, which means you can take them out for a couple of hours a day. Time without the aligners means you can eat without the same restrictions placed on those who wear traditional braces. Those with braces have to avoid crunchy foods that can pop the brackets off the teeth, making an extra trip the orthodontist necessary. Also, because Invisalign can come out, it gives patients plenty of time to clean their teeth thoroughly, something that is essential for oral health.
Treatment Time with Invisalign
Invisalign is known to work rather fast. In some cases, treatment with the aligners can finish up in six months. However, there are individual factors that contribute to how long Invisalign takes to work. With Invisalign, patients have a set of custom-made aligners. The aligners move teeth a little at a time, so if someone has a large gap to close, their treatment will take longer compared to someone with smaller spaces between their teeth. Invisalign can handle all sorts of orthodontic issues, and the more complex cases take longer to complete. Dr. Margulies will explain treatment time and expectations at your consultation.
