Invisalign® Specialists for Adults in Dublin
Achieving a straighter smile as an adult no longer requires the noticeable appearance of traditional metal braces. At Dublin Orthodontist, we provide a sophisticated, nearly invisible solution tailored specifically for the professional and social lifestyles of our adult patients across Dublin and beyond.
What is Invisalign® treatment for adults in Dublin?
Invisalign® treatment uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligner trays designed to gently and precisely shift your teeth into their ideal position. As a leading clinic for Invisalign in Dublin, we combine over 20 years of orthodontic experience with advanced digital scanning technology to ensure your treatment is as efficient as it is discreet.
- Discreet Appearance: The durable, clear plastic is virtually unseen by others, allowing you to smile with confidence throughout your treatment.
- Proven Results: While every case is unique, many of our adult patients see significant results in as little as 6 months, with full transformations typically completed within 12 to 18 months.
- Removable Convenience: Unlike fixed braces, you can remove your aligners for meals, professional presentations, and your daily dental hygiene routine.
Discover if Invisalign® treatment is right for you
Invisalign® represents a highly-effective, popular alternative to traditional braces, especially among adults in Dublin. With over 20 years of orthodontic experience, our team at Dublin Orthodontist has successfully treated a diverse range of orthodontic issues in adults using this innovative clear aligner system. To achieve the best results from Invisalign®, we recommend that our adult patients commit to wearing their clear aligner trays for up to 22 hours per day and maintain good dental hygiene.
While Invisalign® treatment is versatile, it may not be suitable for more severe cases of misalignment or for adults with certain dental or oral health issues. In some instances, initial dental work may pave the way for effective Invisalign® treatment. Dr. Claire O’Sullivan, our Specialist Orthodontist, will provide a professional diagnosis and confirm your suitability for Invisalign® during your free initial consultation.

FAQs about Invisalign® for Adults
What will disqualify an adult from getting Invisalign?
The primary disqualifying factors for adults are active oral health issues, such as untreated gum disease or cavities, which must be resolved before orthodontic work begins. Severe orthodontic misalignments or complex bite issues may also require traditional braces instead. Additionally, significant previous dental work, like bridges or certain implants, can sometimes complicate how teeth move with clear aligners.
What questions should I ask my specialist during an adult consultation?
As an adult, it is important to ask about the expected duration of your treatment and how it will fit into your professional life. You should also ask about the provider’s experience with adult-specific cases and what technology they use for digital scanning. Finally, clarify the total cost, whether retainers are included, and what payment plan options are available for adult patients in Dublin.
What do I wish I knew before starting adult Invisalign?
Many adults are surprised by the commitment to oral hygiene. You will need to brush and floss after every meal before putting your trays back in to prevent staining and bacteria buildup. You should also be aware that your treatment might include “attachments”—small, tooth-coloured bumps—which help the aligners grip your teeth more effectively.
What can a specialist orthodontist diagnose during my first visit?
During your initial assessment, a specialist can diagnose a wide range of issues beyond just crooked teeth, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and spacing problems. They will also check the overall health of your jaw bone and gums to ensure they are strong enough to support tooth movement.
Can I still get Invisalign if I had braces as a teenager?
Yes, “orthodontic relapse” is very common in adults. If you wore braces in the past but your teeth have since shifted, Invisalign is often an excellent, discreet way to move them back into their ideal positions.
