Invisalign for Adults: It’s Never Too Late for a Straighter Smile
Many adults assume orthodontic treatment is only for teenagers—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Today, more adults than ever are opting for Invisalign clear aligners, a modern, discreet solution for straightening teeth without the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces.
At Kraner Family Dentistry, we believe it’s never too late to get the smile you deserve. Whether you're correcting minor shifting or tackling more complex misalignments, our expert Invisalign providers in Wentzville, MO, deliver custom, comfortable, and life-enhancing treatments tailored to your needs.
Why Adults Are Choosing Invisalign Now More Than Ever
Let’s face it—your adult life is busy. Between work, family, and social events, traditional metal braces just aren’t practical for most adults. Invisalign offers an appealing alternative:
- Nearly invisible aligners
- Custom-fit for comfort and precision
- Shorter treatment times in many cases
If you’ve been thinking about straightening your smile but were put off by the idea of braces, Invisalign is the answer you’ve been waiting for.

How Invisalign Works at Kraner Family Dentistry
We’ve streamlined the Invisalign journey into a seamless and comfortable experience:
Step 1: Personalized Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive assessment using 3D digital imaging. Our Invisalign-trained dentists evaluate your bite, spacing, and alignment to create a custom roadmap for your transformation.
Step 2: Custom Aligner Design
Using precise digital scans, we create a series of clear, BPA-free plastic aligners. Each aligner is designed to gradually move your teeth closer to their ideal position.
Step 3: Aligner Wear & Progression
You’ll wear each aligner set for anywhere from 4-10 days depending on your case,24 hours per day, removing them only to brush and floss. Progress is monitored with regular checkups, ensuring everything stays on track.
Step 4: Retainers for Longevity
After completing your treatment, we provide custom retainers to help maintain your beautiful new smile.
