\"Dentist<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Many people consider their crooked teeth a cosmetic concern, but did you know it can also detract from your dental health? It\u2019s harder to reach all sides to thoroughly brush and floss them if they overlap, leaving you more vulnerable to cavities, gum disease, and injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist can straighten your smile with Invisalign<\/a>, but many adults worry that it\u2019s too late for them to undergo this alternative orthodontic treatment. If you\u2019re wondering whether you\u2019ve aged out of this service, keep reading to learn why you can set your concerns aside!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people requiring orthodontics aren\u2019t eager to deal with the frustration of traditional braces. The metal brackets are known to rub sores in the tender tissues of your mouth and visually stick out like a sore thumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a more discreet method, Invisalign might be right for you. This system utilizes clear, plastic trays that are designed to fit snuggly over your teeth to gently reposition them. You\u2019ll wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily to keep your teeth from reverting. Then, after about a week or two, you\u2019ll be given a fresh pair to account for the ongoing movement of your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is the Best Time to Get Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people associate orthodontics with youth because so many teens get braces during their middle and high school years. This is likely partly because younger teeth and jawbones are more flexible. It takes more time and effort for them to shift when you\u2019re older because they\u2019re more firmly rooted in your jawbone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although adolescence may be an ideal time for many to undergo orthodontics, your teeth continue to shift as you age, so older adults might also require treatment. Continued pressure exerted from biting and chewing daily can eventually even push already-straightened smiles back out of alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am I Too Old for Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re concerned that you\u2019ve aged out of this orthodontic service, you\u2019re in luck! There\u2019s no age limit associated with shifting your teeth. Your dentist will work with you to establish appropriate expectations so you know how long it will take. Then, if you have overly stubborn teeth that don\u2019t shift at the anticipated rate, they\u2019ll update your plan accordingly. You\u2019ll still be able to complete your treatment successfully; it just might take longer than it would in your youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign is a popular way to improve your appearance and enhance your dental health regardless of your age!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
