Invisalign Adult
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without the use of metal braces. These custom-made aligners fit over your teeth and gently adjust their position over time. Invisalign braces for adults are a great orthodontic solution, especially considering that the aligners are virtually invisible, so most people won’t even realize you have them on!
Invisalign Treatment Process
Invisalign treatment starts with a consultation with our amazing Invisalign-trained Dentists. We will then create advanced 3D images of your teeth using the iTero® Digital Scanning System. This allows us to map out a precise, customized digital treatment plan that details the step-by-step transformation of your smile as well as the length of your treatment.
Your custom-made aligners will be created using Invisalign’s SmartTrack® material, which is virtually invisible. Once you have your aligners, you will wear each set for 20-22 hours a day, changing to a new set every 1-2 weeks. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, following your treatment plan until you reach your perfect smile!
Benefits of Invisalign For Adults
Invisalign is a great option for adults looking to straighten their smiles. The aligners are barely noticeable and involve a treatment process that is far easier to manage than traditional braces. Some of the main benefits to adult Invisalign include:
- They allow you to discreetly straighten your teeth.
- You can remove them for meals and snacks, which means there are fewer food restrictions.
- It easily fits your lifestyle.
- Since you can remove your aligners to brush and floss, they make oral hygiene easy.
- Depending on your malocclusion, they can be just as effective as traditional braces.
Effective for treating crowding, gaps, and bite issues.
Invisalign® offers a discreet and convenient way for adults to straighten their teeth without the look and feel of traditional braces. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and custom-made for comfort — allowing you to eat, brush, and floss with ease. Whether you’re correcting crowding, gaps, or bite issues, Invisalign fits seamlessly into professional and social lifestyles, making it an ideal choice for adults looking to improve their smile without disrupting their daily routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is no upper age limit for Invisalign. Adults of all ages - including patients in their 50s, 60s, and beyond - successfully complete Invisalign treatment at Oxford Smiles. As long as you have healthy teeth and gums and are committed to wearing aligners 20–22 hours daily, you are a candidate.
Invisalign for adults typically costs $3,500–$7,000 depending on case complexity - comparable to or slightly more than traditional braces. Many dental insurance plans with orthodontic benefits now cover Invisalign. Oxford Smiles also offers flexible financing to make treatment manageable.
Modern Invisalign with Smart Force attachments can address many bite issues - overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite - in addition to crowding and spacing. Complex skeletal bite discrepancies may still require traditional braces or surgical intervention. Dr. Mehta will assess your bite at a complimentary Invisalign consultation.
Most adults adapt within a few days and speak normally. A slight lisp is common in the first week as your tongue adjusts. Because aligners are virtually invisible, Invisalign is the preferred choice for working professionals, public speakers, and anyone self-conscious about wearing metal braces.
Contact Oxford Smiles immediately. Dr. Mehta will typically advise you to wear the previous aligner until a replacement is ordered and delivered (usually within a few business days). Losing or breaking aligners repeatedly may extend your treatment timeline. Keeping aligners in their case when not in your mouth prevents most losses.
