When you think about Invisalign<\/a>, you might be inclined to think orthodontic treatment a young person\u2019s game, and as an adult it\u2019s simply too late for you to correct your smile. But the good news is that when it comes to straightening your teeth, there is no such thing as an age limit. In fact, Invisalign is great for patients from their teens all the way to their twilight years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019ve never had braces, or your teeth have shifted back out of alignment following a treatment in your youth, here\u2019s why Invisalign could be the answer to your dental dilemma!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Age and Orthodontics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we age, our bones solidify, making it harder for teeth to shift during orthodontic treatment. This is why your dentist typically recommends starting when you\u2019re in your childhood or teens. But just because your bones are harder doesn\u2019t mean that treatment is no longer possible, it just means that you may need to wear your Invisalign aligners a little longer than you would have if you\u2019d started as a teen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to having a prettier smile, Invisalign offers many oral health benefits you may not have considered. First, straighter teeth are much easier to clean, helping to reduce your risk of cavities, gum disease, and tooth infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, straighter teeth can make things like speaking and chewing much easier and can even alleviate jaw pain from a bad bite or temporomandibular joint problem. These issues can affect patients of any age, and it\u2019s never too late to correct them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reasons You Can\u2019t Start Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, while age is not a factor in getting Invisalign, the condition of your teeth and gums is. This means that in order to undergo orthodontic treatment, your mouth must be in good health. If you have any issues such as gum disease, untreated cavities, tooth infections, or damaged teeth, your dentist will want to correct these either before or during your Invisalign treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are missing teeth or have crowns or implants, this does not disqualify you from Invisalign. Your dentist may recommend a dental implant to help protect your jaw and restore your bite force, but this will be determined at your consultation. Should your teeth already have restorations such as crowns or fillings, your treatment with aligners can still be a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, there\u2019s no time limit on excellent oral health, and that includes correcting your bite with the help of Invisalign. To learn more about if Invisalign aligners are right for you, schedule a consultation with your dentist today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
