Older teenagers or adults who require cosmetic dentistry treatment may find that visiting an Invisalign dentist for invisible braces is ideal.
While visible braces are fine for youngsters, adults and those in their late teens may find such options leave them self-conscious of their teeth, but there are alternatives in the cosmetic dentistry sector.
OrthoPros noted that "teens don't want to stand out" and said that according to a national poll, more than half of teens aged 12 to 17 thought metal braces would draw unwanted attention to themselves.
The group highlighted Invisalign braces – which have no wires or brackets and only require adjusting every couple of months – as a great alternative to avoid making brace wearers feel uncomfortable.
Those considering Invisalign treatment can carry out a self-assessment on the company's website to see whether visiting an Invisalign dentist to have the clear brace option fitted is advisable for them.
