Why Adults Choose to Straighten Their Teeth

There are numerous reasons adults consider straightening their teeth, and it's not just about appearance. For more information on Invisalign for adults, refer to this page.

1. Boosting Confidence: Many adults feel self-conscious about crooked teeth. Straightening your smile can make a huge difference in how you feel during social events, work meetings, and photos.

2. Better Oral Health: Misaligned teeth can be more difficult to clean, which increases the risk of cavities, gum disease, and even jaw pain. Straightening your teeth makes brushing and flossing easier and more effective.

3. A Healthier Bite: Teeth that don't line up correctly can cause uneven wear, TMJ discomfort, and even digestive issues from poor chewing. Straightening your teeth helps align your bite and avoid long-term damage.

4. Fixing Past Shifting: Even if you had braces as a kid, your teeth may have moved over time. Invisalign is a great way to correct this quietly and comfortably.
   

Invisalign for Adults at Constantdelis Dental

Dr. Dena Constandelis' aligners for adult teeth are a popular choice for adults seeking a comfortable and discreet way to improve their smile. Dr. Dena Constantdelis is a Gold Plus Invisalign Provider, which means she has completed many successful Invisalign cases and continues to offer this trusted solution to her adult patients.

Invisalign is a system of clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. These aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic and are custom-fit to your teeth.

Benefits of Invisalign for Adults

1. Practically Invisible: You don't have to worry about metal braces showing in photos or during meetings. Invisalign trays are clear and discreet, making them ideal for adults in professional and social settings.

2. Removable Convenience: One of the biggest benefits of Invisalign is that you can remove the aligners when brushing or flossing. But for the best results, you must wear the trays 24 hours a day, including while eating and drinking.

3. Fewer Office Visits: Have a busy schedule? Invisalign treatment usually requires fewer appointments than traditional braces. Dr. Constantdelis will provide you with multiple sets of aligners at once and guide you through the process with regular check-ins.

4. Comfortable Fit: The aligners are smooth and custom-made, so there are no wires poking your cheeks or lips. Most adults get used to wearing them after just a couple of days.
   

Common Concerns from Adults

• "Am I too old for this?"

No, you're not. There's no age limit on improving your smile. Invisalign is popular among adults in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and even 60s.

• "Will it hurt?"

You may feel slight pressure when switching to a new aligner, but it's usually mild and lasts only a day or two.

• "Will people notice I'm wearing them?"

Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible. Most people won't even realize you're in treatment unless you tell them.

• "Will I have to go to the dentist all the time?"

Invisalign typically requires fewer visits than traditional braces, and the appointments are shorter and easier to fit into your schedule.

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

Most adult treatments take approximately 12 to 18 months, although simple cases may be completed in a shorter timeframe. You may see visible improvements after just a few weeks. Dr. Dena Constandelis teeth straightening treatments are designed to deliver noticeable results efficiently, with a clear focus on comfort and convenience for adult patients.

Just remember: You must wear your aligners 24 hours a day for them to work properly. Skipping days or removing them often can delay your progress.
