Good news - you are never too old to go in search of a straighter smile! As an adult, we know that braces can seem unappealing. What if there was a way to achieve the same results, without a mouthful of metal? Thankfully, there is.
Clear Aligners Offer An Alternative
More adults are opting for orthodontic treatment, but why? If you ask us here at smilogy, the answer is clear - literally.
Clear aligners offer an alternative (almost) invisible option when compared to traditional braces. They still do exactly what you need them to, which is realigning the position of your teeth and even your jaw.
Whether you’ve had orthodontic work before or you’re a total newbie, they may be the right option for you. Plus, you can break up the cost with affordable regular payments!
Getting Started With Clear Aligners
Simply start with a quick and easy 3D scan at a convenient location near you.
Our Australian dentists and orthodontists then have a perfect impression of your smile to use as a model. They’ll determine if you’re suitable, and if so, they’ll send out sets of clear plastic aligners for you to use. The amount sent will depend on the amount needed to achieve the best personalised results. You’ll switch to a new set every week or so, until you’re finished.
In the meantime, we’ll check in with you online, to save you having to take time out of your day. Use your annual leave for more exciting things!
Why Are Clear Aligners More Mature?
You can achieve a straighter and healthy smile at any age! Our adult customers love smilogy clear aligners because they’re discreet and so easy to manage.
Traditional braces feature dark wires and brackets, which can cause some older people to feel embarrassed - almost like a teenager again. They’re not always ideal for professionals or people who are especially social. Plus, you may struggle to eat the things you want to!
Clear aligners can fit into any lifestyle or any workplace. You can remove them to eat, for sport, or for big social events and dates (although you have to commit to wearing them for 20+ hours a day).
Keeping your smile fresh and clean is easier with clear aligners. This is because it’s so much easier to keep up your dental hygiene - you simply remove them to brush or floss.
Are Clear Aligners Suitable For Everyone?
The answer to this depends on you, your smile and your personality!
Some people have severe overcrowding, which means that clear aligners may not quite be the right fit. Other customers are very honest with us - they tell us they wouldn’t be compliant in wearing them for long enough every day (although it’s so much easier than you may think).
It’s worth noting that adult teeth can take longer to straighten than teens’. That’s because your mouth by this point might be stuck in its ways!
Other options may be available for you if you’re found to be unsuitable, so don’t give up. We can discuss this with you at your initial consultation.
