Why Adults Should Opt for Clear Aligners

March 26, 2024

Are you an adult who isn't that happy with the state of their smile? You could always wear braces, but many adults are deciding to go with clear aligners. According to Global Market Insights, the costs are between $3,000 and $8,000, with most costing around $4,000 to $5,000. A working adult can usually handle that. Here are some other reasons why adults should go with the aligners:


They Are Much Less Obtrusive


Adults do a lot of face-to-face talking with people. They might be self-conscious about having to show a mouthful of braces to others. People might have the preconceived notion that only teenagers should have braces — though there have been plenty of adults who have worn them too. Clear aligners aren't as obvious, so they will feel more comfortable when you are talking to others.


You Don't Have to Go to the Orthodontist as Much


As an adult, you tend to be terribly busy with your work. You're not going to have as much time to do things like make regular trips to have your braces tightened. That's not going to be the case as much with your clear aligners. You'll be able to keep to a normal work schedule while the aligners do their work of straightening your teeth.


You Can Eat Normally


One of the most frustrating things about wearing braces is that certain things are off the menu. That can be annoying if you go to a business meeting and have to avoid eating. If you have your aligners, though, all you have to do is discreetly pop them out — they are easy to remove and put back in — and put them in a case that can then go in your pocket or purse while you eat. You can then quickly rinse your mouth with some water and then put the aligners back in afterwards.


Overall, the aligners are also easier to clean at night. Just brush them and soak them for a bit in mouthwash before putting them back in your mouth (after rinsing them off again). People just find them much easier to handle than braces. That's a reason to smile.
