Adults often assume orthodontic treatment is something they missed in high school. In reality, many adults choose Invisalign clear aligners to address crowding, spacing, bite concerns or changes that developed over time.
What Invisalign can address
Clear aligners may be helpful for selected cases of crowding, spacing, relapse after previous orthodontic treatment and some bite concerns. Every smile is different, so an evaluation is the only way to know whether Invisalign is a good match.
What happens at an Invisalign evaluation?
Dr. Rocha will discuss what you would like to change, examine your teeth and bite, and review whether your gums and teeth are healthy enough to begin. Digital scanning helps plan treatment without traditional impression material.
Clear aligners still require commitment
Aligners need to be worn as instructed and removed for eating, drinking anything other than water and brushing. Regular check ins allow the dentist to make sure teeth are moving as planned.
When another option may be better
Some bite concerns, tooth positions or oral health issues may need a different approach first. Treatment may begin with addressing decay, gum disease or needed restorative care before moving teeth.
A straighter smile is not only cosmetic
Alignment can affect how teeth meet, how easily some areas can be cleaned and how you feel about your smile. The goal is a plan that supports both appearance and function.
