Generally, orthodontic patients who are looking for a radiant smile without the visibility of metal or ceramic braces can benefit from invisible braces. Older teens and adults struggling with crooked teeth, slight gaps, or minor overlapping can straighten their smiles using the Invisalign system. You may also want to consider Invisalign if you:
Don’t want to deal with dietary restrictions
Can commit to the aligner schedule
Want to brush and floss normally without routine adjustments for braces
Need an invisible orthodontic option
If you have severe misalignments, such as rotated teeth or significant overlapping, Invisalign will most likely not be the best choice. The plastic aligners cannot apply the amount of pressure needed to correct these issues. Talk to your dentist about metal braces or cosmetic dentistry options, including porcelain veneers.
