Are you an adult with crooked, gapped or misaligned teeth? Does the thought of traditional metal braces make you cringe? Are you under the assumption that orthodontics are only for kids and teens?
At Dentists of Ivanhoe, we’re here to break the myths about adults and braces, educating residents in the greater Melbourne area on new and innovative adult orthodontic treatments that are both discreet AND effective.
Clear Aligners
As an adult, the idea of traditional metal braces isn’t just off-putting, it can be downright embarrassing. This is especially true for those of us who work in professional settings and face-to-face with clients.
Yet, as an adult, our smiles are an important aspect of who we are, our personality, and health. Not to mention your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. Luckily, Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment for adults that is both discreet and effective, helping professionals regain confidence in their smiles.
Clear aligners such as Invisalign, ClearCorrect and SureSmile offer adults the chance they never had as a teen, to straighten their teeth without the discomfort of metal braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a leading orthodontic treatment for both teens and adults, with more than 10 million patients successfully using this clear aligner system to get the picture-perfect smile they’ve always dreamed of.
How Does Invisalign Orthodontic Treatment for Adults Work?
We use Invisalign’s advanced iTero 3D imagery to create sets of clear aligners custom-fitted to comfortably and gently apply pressure on your teeth, gradually shifting them into alignment over time. These clear aligners are worn day and night, but unlike traditional braces, they can be easily removed for important meetings, special events, and when eating. Each set of retainers is worn in sequence, with your dentist monitoring progress and making any necessary adjustments over time.
The Benefits of Adult Invisalign
