These days it’s becoming more and more common to see adults at our Atlanta office getting their teeth straightened with Invisalign clear aligners — that is if you can see them! Treatment with Invisalign is effective and aesthetically pleasing for all ages, but adults have certainly taken to them.
For some it may be to overcome the stigma that “braces are just for kids,” but for others, it may be the displeasing appearance and discomfort of traditional braces. According to the American Association of Orthodontics, from 1994 to 2010 the number of adults 18 and older getting braces increased by 58 percent, from 680,000 to 1.1 million annually. Many of these adults opt for Invisalign because of how discreet they are and since they don’t need to avoid any foods or make dietary changes like you do with traditional braces.
