Clear Aligners for Adults: Is It the Right Choice for You?

Gone are the days when braces were just for teens! Clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontic treatment for adults. Here’s what you need to know:

Why Adults Prefer Clear Aligners:

1. Discreet Appearance: Virtually invisible, perfect for professional settings.
2. Flexibility: Remove them during important meetings or social events.
3. Efficiency: Correct mild crowding or spacing in 12-18 months.

Cases Where Clear Aligners May Not Work:

• Severe Overbite/Underbite: May require metal braces or surgery.
• Advanced Gum Disease: Must be treated before starting aligners.

Tips for Adults:

• Choose an orthodontist experienced in adult treatments.
• Stick to the 20-22 hour daily wear rule to avoid delays.
