Invisalign® Treatment for Adults: Can You Achieve a Perfect Smile in Your 30s?

Many people believe that braces or orthodontic treatments are only for kids and teenagers. In reality, patients of almost any age can take advantage of orthodontics for a straighter smile. Adults, especially those in their 30s, are increasingly turning to Invisalign clear aligners to straighten their teeth, boost their confidence, and achieve the smile they've always wanted.

With modern advancements in orthodontics, it's easier than ever for adults to enjoy a comfortable, discreet, and effective teeth-straightening experience. At Alliance Family Dentistry in Naples, FL, Dasha Frias Landa, DMD, FAGD offers Invisalign treatment for adults and teens, with each course of Invisalign plans tailored to align with the patient's age, unique needs, goals, and other factors. With Invisalign orthodontics, adults in their 30s and beyond can transform their smiles without the hassle of traditional metal braces. Take a closer look at what to expect with Invisalign at 30, 35, 45, or almost any age here.

Why is Invisalign treatment a good option for adults?

For many adults, the idea of wearing metal braces doesn't seem appealing, whether due to the obtrusive appearance of braces, the perception that braces are just for kids or another factor. Invisalign aligners, however, offer a clear, nearly invisible alternative to straighten teeth. The aligners used during Invisalign treatment are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic and are custom-designed to fit your teeth. This makes them comfortable to wear, and most people won't even notice you're wearing them. Some of the reasons adults choose Invisalign aligners to straighten crooked teeth include:

• Allows you to maintain your appearance without the noticeable metal brackets and wires of traditional braces
• Invisalign aligners can be removed when eating, drinking, or attending special occasions
• Does not subject you to the discomfort and irritation often caused by metal braces
• Invisalign treatment is shorter than braces in many cases

Can you get Invisalign over 30?

While many people think orthodontics are just for teenagers, adults in their 30s and beyond can benefit greatly from Invisalign aligners. Your teeth can shift over time, whether due to aging, previous orthodontic treatment, or other factors. Invisalign treatment can correct several common dental issues in adults, including:

• Crowded or overlapping teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Mild to moderate bite issues, such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite

At your initial consultation and exam, Dr. Frias Landa will assess your teeth and bite to determine if Invisalign treatment is right for you. Adults in their 30s are often ideal candidates for Invisalign aligners because they are motivated to achieve their dream smile and are committed to following the treatment plan, which includes wearing aligners for up to 20 – 22 hours per day.

What is the Invisalign process like for adults?

Invisalign treatment begins with a consultation with Dr. Frias Landa at Alliance Family Dentistry. During this consultation, she will take detailed scans and impressions of your teeth to create your custom aligners. Once your aligners are ready, you'll begin wearing them for about 20 – 22 hours a day. Every few weeks, you'll switch to a new set of aligners that will gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. The Invisalign timeline for adults generally takes about 12 – 18 months, but it may vary depending on the complexity of your case. Dr. Frias Landa will work with you to ensure the treatment is progressing as planned and that you're happy with your results along the way.
