As a Board-Certified Orthodontist, Dr. Pardo is an expert when it comes to helping adult patients achieve the beautiful smiles they’ve always wanted. Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment option for adults, with many patients choosing it over traditional braces.

While not all cases are a good fit for Invisalign, technological advancements over the years mean the system can correct a wider variety of orthodontic issues than ever before. Many of our adult patients prefer Invisalign because it swaps obvious stainless steel wires and brackets for discreet plastic aligners. When you choose Invisalign, you'll never have to feel self-conscious about getting orthodontic care as an adult!

Invisalign for adults has a number of distinct advantages over braces. Many adult patients get Invisalign after their teeth have shifted back from not wearing their retainers as teens and they can’t believe how easy Invisalign treatment is compared to their earlier experience with braces! Advantages of Invisalign for adults include:


Virtually Invisible


Invisalign aligners are made with a thin, clear plastic material that fits the exact shape of your teeth. This means your co-workers, neighbors, and acquaintances won’t even notice that you’re wearing them.


Comfortable and Convenient


Invisalign is a hassle-free treatment option, with fewer follow-up appointments and less disruption to your life. Because your aligners can be removed at any time, you can take them out to brush and floss for better oral health, and you can keep eating all of your favorite foods.


Proven Results


Thanks to its innovative SmartTrack material and SmartForce features, Invisalign for adults works just as well as traditional braces for a number of different orthodontic issues.

Is Invisalign worth it for older adults?


No matter your age, you can benefit from Invisalign. In fact, when you’re older, it’s even more important to take steps to ensure good oral health and Invisalign can reduce the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and abnormal wear by straightening your teeth and correcting your bite.


What is the average cost of Invisalign for adults?


The cost of Invisalign for adults depends on the number of aligners and length of treatment you need. We can provide you with an estimate when you come to our office for a consultation.


Will insurance cover Invisalign for adults?


If your dental insurance covers orthodontic treatment for adults, it will often cover a portion of the cost of Invisalign. Because dental insurance plans vary, it’s important to call your insurer to verify your benefits.


Can Invisalign only be worn at night?


Invisalign is designed to be worn for 20 to 22 hours each day at a minimum, so if you only wear your aligners at night, they won’t work.
