Video transcript
Because I was like starting college, and then I had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Shaili, and then she recommended that I can get Invisalign done. At first I thought it would be like a really taxing process, because she told me I have to wear it for like 22 hours, and I was worried it would hurt and stuff like that. But then when I actually got Invisalign, it was quite a smooth process. Like, it generally couldn't be seen. None of my friends realised. I had to tell them, you know, see, I've gotten this done.

Can adults use clear aligners?
Yes, many adults do. Your teeth and gums need to be healthy before treatment starts.
How long should I wear my aligners each day?
Aligners work only when worn, so wear them as advised by your dentist and remove them only to eat, drink anything other than water and clean your teeth.
Will clear aligners be uncomfortable?
Mild pressure or tightness after a new set of aligners is common and usually settles in a few days.

Clear aligners suit many adults and teenagers with mild to moderate crowding, gaps or bite problems. More complex cases may need braces or a combined approach. A consultation and scan show which option fits you.
