Are Your High School Years Far Behind You? Invisalign Can Still Straighten Your Teeth!

There's a persistent myth that teeth straightening is something you do as a teenager or not at all. The reality? Orthodontic treatment is highly effective at any age, and Invisalign has made it more accessible than ever for adults who want results without the visibility of traditional braces.

Why Adults Are Turning to Invisalign

The clear aligner market has grown dramatically over the past decade, and adults now make up nearly half of all orthodontic patients. The appeal is obvious:

  • Virtually invisible — most people won't notice unless you tell them
  • Removable for eating, brushing, and special events
  • Fewer office visits than traditional braces
  • Comfortable smooth plastic instead of metal brackets and wires

What Invisalign Can Fix in Adults

Invisalign works for a wide range of alignment issues including crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. The system uses a series of custom-made clear trays that gradually shift teeth into their ideal position.

The Timeline

Most adult Invisalign patients complete treatment in 12–18 months, though simple cases can be shorter. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before advancing to the next set in the series.

See Your Results Before You Commit

Dr. Burton uses the iTero digital scanner to create a 3D model of your teeth and generate a digital simulation of your treatment outcome. You can literally see your predicted final smile before you begin — a feature patients love.
