Braces may be a rite of passage for privileged adolescents, but not every parent can afford braces for their kids. But the need for orthodontic treatment doesn’t just go away. In fact, according to national studies, at least one-third of American adults find serious fault in their smile. Almost 80% of adults link crooked teeth to lack of professionalism, and 77% of women would opt to choose a man with a receding hairline over one with crooked teeth as a potential romantic partner. Of course, traditional braces aren’t the right or appropriate fit for everyone. Fortunately, Red Bank Dentistry can work around that by offering Invisalign instead. But why is Invisalign a viable solution regardless of age?
Invisalign Complements Your Teen’s Lifestyle
Braces may not be uncommon, but they can be a pain–quite literally. Wires and brackets can break and puncture gum tissue. Social activities can be a challenge during the years of wearing metal orthodontic appliances. Most dentists limit extracurricular activities such as sports and band while wearing braces, and years of smiling may be put on hold as many teens would prefer hiding their smiles than looking different than their closest or most emulated peers. Over 1 million teens have used Invisalign, and their patented aligners work with the needs and deepest desires of your kids. The clear material doesn’t interfere with activities. Food restrictions are practically non-existent. And as long as the aligners are worn and cared for properly, the specialized orthodontic systems for teens will provide the corrections they need while maintaining the freedom they so desperately desire.
Invisalign Helps Empower Adults
Approximately 20% of Americans have bite issues. And since Invisalign was introduced to the American public in 1999, around 20% of its customer base has been over the age of 18. Invisalign is a clear, professional solution for straightening teeth. And even A-list celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Eva Longoria, and Tom Cruise. The clear aligners are customized to fit perfectly over each patient, regardless of age or mouth structure. In the case of adult wear, Invisalign is perfect for professionals who are in the public eye, need to be camera ready, or simply need to maintain professionalism with clients or coworkers. And since the aligners are clear, your social and romantic life can continue or explode without anyone having to know you’re wearing them.
Invisalign Is Easy and Effective to Use at Any Age
Even if you’ve had braces during your youth, teeth can move or shift at any age. So at one point, you might want or need to have more corrective work done but feel as though you’re too old for traditional braces. But that’s not a problem with Invisalign. The aligners can be fitted to repair multiple issues including malocclusion, bite issues, and gaps. As long as the patient has healthy teeth and the manual dexterity needed to remove the aligners before eating and for oral care needs, anyone of any age group–from adolescents to seniors–can benefit from Invisalign.
