Getting braces as an adult can be difficult to commit to. While many adults refuse to endure the aesthetic sacrifice, others just can\u2019t commit to the frequent appointments or the expense of lengthy treatment. There are also adult patients who believe they\u2019ve \u201cmissed the boat\u201d for orthodontics because they never underwent treatment as a child. Fortunately, orthodontic treatment is no longer restricted to metal brackets and bands, and it\u2019s not just for kids. In fact, there is a newer, highly preferred solution to straighten your smile as an adult \u2013 Invisalign<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Invisalign orthodontics, effectiveness, comfort and aesthetics can all co-exist. Invisalign uses clear (nearly invisible) aligners that are changed out every two weeks until the teeth are in their ideal position. Invisalign is also removable, so you\u2019ll never be held down by your orthodontic treatment when you want to eat, brush your teeth or enjoy a special event.<\/p>\n

According to the American Association of Orthodontics, from 1994 to 2010 the number of adults 18 and older getting braces increased by 58 percent.
