Can Adults Get Good Results With Invisalign®?

More and more adults are choosing orthodontic treatment to improve their smiles, and one of the major reasons for the growing popularity is Invisalign®. This modern system makes it possible to straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably.

But can adults get good results with Invisalign? Absolutely.

At Solay Dental in Oldsmar and New Port Richey, Florida, our skilled dentists, led by Dr. Shiva Soleimani, provide Invisalign for patients of all ages. Here’s why Invisalign is an excellent option for adults and how to make sure you get the best results.

How Invisalign works

Invisalign revolutionized orthodontic care by giving patients a clear, removable alternative to braces. It uses a series of custom-made clear aligners that gently shift your teeth into their ideal position over time.

The innovative tool can fix many common misalignment concerns, from overbites to underbites to gapped and crowded teeth. 

While Invisalign is effective for many adults, it’s not the right fit for every case. In some instances, we may combine traditional orthodontic techniques with Invisalign to get the best results.

Why adults love Invisalign

Adults have been pursuing orthodontic care for years, but Invisalign made the process even more appealing. Some of the biggest reasons adults choose Invisalign include:

• Discreet appearance
• More comfortable
• No food restrictions
• Fast results

These benefits allow you to improve your smile without interrupting your lifestyle.

How to get the best results

Invisalign is a powerful tool, but success depends on how closely you follow the protocol set up by your dentist. Wearing your aligners consistently means more predictable results. 

While removing the aligners is a benefit of Invisalign, we recommend keeping them in place for 22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, brush, and floss. The more often you wear your aligners, the better the results.

You typically change to your new set of aligners every one to two weeks. Staying on schedule helps your teeth continue to shift in a timely manner.

Attending your scheduled follow-up visits also ensures the best results. Regular check-ins allow us to track your progress and make adjustments to keep your treatment on track.

Once you complete your Invisalign treatment, wearing a retainer is essential for maintaining results. Teeth naturally shift over time, and consistent use of your retainer helps keep them in place. You need to wear your retainer full-time for the first several weeks, then nightly to keep your straight smile.

Can Invisalign help you?

If you want straighter teeth and a confident smile, Invisalign is an option for you. During your initial Invisalign consultation, we discuss your concerns and goals and evaluate your mouth to determine if the advanced orthodontic system can help.

If you’re a candidate, we take digital scans and use Invisalign software to design your personalized treatment plan. Once you get your aligners, you can start your journey towards a beautifully aligned smile.
