Why Invisalign Is Perfect for Adults

For adults looking for an alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment, the Invisalign system offers a discreet and non-invasive solution to some of the most common bite and alignment problems. Here at Dr. Edmund Jay's dental office in San Diego, our dentist offers Invisalign to improve the smiles of qualifying patients. Read on to learn more!


The Benefits of Invisalign

There are several features that make Invisalign a great orthodontic option for adults. To start the system's trays are clear, making them practically invisible during the entirety of treatment. Additionally, the treatment period may be shorter than with traditional braces depending on your situation.

Another major advantage of Invisalign is the fact that the trays are removable for up to two hours a day, allowing you to eat your normal diet without restrictions. This also makes it easier to keep up with your normal oral hygiene routine, as so you can brush and floss after meals to protect your teeth from tooth decays and gum disease.

Invisalign is typically available for common orthodontic problems such as:

  • Overbite
  • Cross bite
  • Open bite
  • Crowding

After a comprehensive dental exam, Dr. Jay will make recommendations based on your dental needs as well as your overall health and lifestyle.


How it Works

The system consists of a series of removable and disposable trays that gently and gradually shift your teeth into alignment just like braces. Each tray is worn for approximately two weeks. In order for Invisalign to be effective, you must commit to wearing the trays as instructed and go to the dentist for your scheduled follow up visits and check-ups.
