5 Reasons Why More Adults Are Choosing Invisalign

Adults across the country are discovering what makes Invisalign the preferred choice for teeth straightening. Unlike traditional metal braces, modern clear aligner technology offers a discreet, comfortable way to achieve the straight smile you’ve always wanted without disrupting your professional or social life.

At Skale Dental Professionals, Drs. Darryl and Ryan Skale bring over 50 years of combined experience to Invisalign treatment. As a father-son dental team, we understand adults need orthodontic solutions that fit seamlessly into their busy lives while delivering exceptional results.

Advanced Technology Delivers Predictable Results

Many patients are surprised to learn they can complete their Invisalign treatment in just 6-10 months, thanks to the predictable and efficient nature of modern clear aligner therapy. Advanced treatment planning and precise 3D technology allow us to map out your entire journey from start to finish, ensuring you achieve your ideal smile faster than you might expect.

Modern Invisalign treatment uses sophisticated 3D imaging technology to plan your entire treatment from start to finish. During your consultation, we’ll show you exactly how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like before treatment begins. This advanced planning ensures predictable, efficient results.

At Skale Dental Professionals, we use digital scanning technology to create precise impressions of your teeth without messy traditional molds. Our state-of-the-art facility includes the latest diagnostic and treatment equipment, ensuring you receive the most advanced Invisalign care available.

The SmartTrack material used in modern Invisalign aligners provides better control over tooth movement compared to earlier versions. Each aligner is precisely engineered to apply the right amount of force to specific teeth, resulting in more comfortable treatment and better outcomes. Most patients wear clear aligners for 20-22 hours per day, only removing them for meals and oral hygiene.

Professional Appearance Remains Intact

The most compelling reason adults choose Invisalign is the ability to straighten teeth without anyone noticing. Clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to maintain a professional appearance during important meetings, presentations, or social events. Traditional metal braces can make adults feel self-conscious about their smile, but Invisalign lets you improve your teeth while keeping your confidence intact.

Many adults worry about how braces might affect their career prospects or professional interactions. With Invisalign, you can pursue orthodontic treatment without drawing unwanted attention to your mouth. The clear plastic aligners blend naturally with your teeth, making them nearly undetectable in most lighting conditions.

Comfort and Convenience Matter

Invisalign aligners are custom-made from smooth plastic material, eliminating the discomfort associated with metal brackets and wires. You won’t experience the mouth sores, cuts, or irritation common with traditional braces. The aligners fit snugly over your teeth, applying gentle pressure to guide them into proper position.

The treatment process is remarkably convenient for busy adults. You’ll visit our cosmetic dentistry practice every 6-8 weeks for progress checks, compared to monthly adjustments required with traditional braces. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next stage of treatment.

Freedom to Eat and Drink Normally

Unlike traditional braces with extensive food restrictions, Invisalign allows you to enjoy all your favorite foods. Simply remove the aligners before eating, brush your teeth, and put them back in. You can still enjoy corn on the cob, apples, nuts, and other foods typically off-limits with metal braces.

This flexibility is particularly valuable for adults with social or professional dining obligations. You can attend business lunches, dinner parties, or special occasions without worrying about food getting stuck in braces or avoiding certain menu items. The removable nature of Invisalign aligners means your diet remains unrestricted throughout treatment.

Easier Oral Hygiene Maintenance

Maintaining good oral hygiene becomes significantly easier with Invisalign. You can remove the aligners to brush and floss normally, ensuring your teeth and gums stay healthy throughout treatment. Traditional braces require special techniques and tools to clean around brackets and wires effectively.

With Invisalign, you simply remove the aligners, brush your teeth as usual, clean the aligners with lukewarm water, and reinsert them. This straightforward routine helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental problems that can complicate orthodontic treatment. Regular dental cleanings at our family dentistry practice help maintain optimal oral health during your treatment journey.
