Invisalign braces have become increasingly popular among adults who want to straighten their teeth but are hesitant to commit themselves to years of metal braces. This nearly invisible option allows older individuals to correct dental problems discreetly and in a shorter amount of time than with traditional braces.
Thousands of dentists worldwide have been professionally trained to offer Invisalign braces in their offices, including many in the Atlanta-metro area. The orthodontic treatments were introduced in 1997 and have been successfully used by millions of individuals since then, fixing bad bites and tooth-spacing issues. In many cases, results can be achieved in less than 18 months of consistent use.
Unlike metal braces, Invisalign braces aren't permanently adhered to the teeth, so it is up to the patient to wear them regularly. Generally, they should be worn for at least 22 hours per day and should be taken out only for eating, drinking beverages and brushing the teeth. They can be left in while drinking water, however.
Most patients find that these braces are more comfortable because they provide a more gradual approach to improving teeth. In the Atlanta-metro area, Pickron Orthodontic Care is a group of orthodontic dentists who have been specially trained to offer Invisalign braces at 23 locations.
