He spent years hiding his smile, closed his mouth when laughing, and begged off office parties. He’d had orthodontics as a kid but lost his retainer, which led to an orthodontic relapse. Now, he assumes he’s too old to fix his teeth; he has simply waited too long.

Fortunately, a friend told him it was not too late for Invisalign® clear braces.

His friend was right!

Today, more and more adults are choosing Invisalign in Fishers.

Why More Adults Are Choosing Invisalign

Discretion Is Important

Invisalign does not draw attention to treatment, which is an essential benefit for many adults. With Invisalign, there are no metal brackets or guidewires. It is a system of clear, plastic aligners worn over the teeth. These aligners gradually straighten teeth over the treatment timeline, which can be several months or longer than two years, depending on the complexity of your orthodontic issues.

With clear aligners, many friends and colleagues may not even notice you’re in treatment.

A Comfortable System

Adults appreciate the discretion but also like the smooth plastic, which is more comfortable than bracket braces.

Improved Oral Health

Adults understand that straight teeth offer oral health benefits. They are easier to brush and floss effectively, and an aligned smile reduces stress on specific misaligned teeth—stress that can cause fractures and increased tooth decay.   

Getting Started with Invisalign®

We have you come in for a consultation to determine whether Invisalign will address your needs and smile goals. The dentist also sets aside time to answer your questions. You’ll learn how long you’ll be in treatment and how much it will cost.

If you move forward with Invisalign, the dentist uses an iTero scanner for comfortable impressions—no goopy pastes. We forward these impressions to Invisalign, and they create your custom aligners.

When you come in to pick them up, we’ll let you know how long you should wear your aligners daily—usually about 22 hours—and how to wear them correctly. You check in with the dentist periodically to monitor progress.

After treatment, we provide a retainer to prevent orthodontic relapse.
