Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for children and teens. Adults benefit from orthodontic treatment, as well. In fact, Invisalign for adults is extremely popular. Learn more about Invisalign for adults, and then move forward with your orthodontic treatment.

What Is Invisalign for Adults?

Invisalign for adults consists of custom-made clear aligners. The aligners are made of plastic and do not contain metal wires or brackets. You can take the aligners out whenever you want, making it easy to eat your favorite foods and brush your teeth. You do need to wear the aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day, though. You will wear one set of aligners for two weeks. Those aligners will move your teeth to a specific position. Then, you will put your next set in. Each set will get you closer to the beautiful smile of your dreams.

Can You Talk Normally with Invisalign Aligners in Your Mouth?

You don’t want everyone to know you are wearing Invisalign for adults, and you know it will be hard to conceal if you talk funny. Most people don’t experience any speech issues when wearing Invisalign for adults. Some people do talk with a slight lisp for a day or two, but that goes away after they adjust to wearing the aligners.

Does Treatment Hurt?

You want straight teeth, but you don’t want to suffer for a gorgeous smile. Fortunately, Invisalign for adults is not painful. However, the aligners are moving your teeth, and you will experience some mild discomfort for approximately two days every time you switch aligners. It is so mild that you shouldn’t even need any over-the-counter pain medications.

Do You Have to Clean the Aligners?

You want to keep your aligners clean when undergoing treatment. Fortunately, you don’t have to buy any special products for this. A toothbrush and toothpaste will do the trick. Remove your aligners, clean them with your toothbrush and toothpaste, and rinse them off.
