More Adults Getting Invisalign and Braces in 2017

A question we often get asked is, “Do adults get Invisalign?” The answer is a resounding yes. A recent Wall Street Journal article reported that 39% more adults received orthodontic treatment in 2012 when compared to 1996. This is up even more than adolescents which saw an increase of 32% of the same time period.

While braces are one of the most popular methods used to straighten teeth adults may want to consider Invisalign treatment for a number of reasons. One of the reasons is the different in the human jaw at different stages of life. In a teenager or adolescent the jaw and teeth are still growing therefore it is easier to put teeth in the right place with braces. As an adult, the jaw has matured and will not continue to grow. This means it may be the case that an orthodontist uses different methods to straighten adult teeth.

There are also middle school and high school students seeking out the Invisalign treatment option. With teenagers being very concerned with what their friends think, Invisalign is a great option to help with confidence and overall psychology. Contact us today if you are seeking a way to improve your teeth without metal braces.
