Am I Too Old for Invisalign?

If you’re ready to take the next step toward straighter teeth and the smile of your dreams, Invisalign® might be the ticket. Age is just a number when it comes to achieving a beautiful smile. Invisalign can be an effective orthodontic treatment no matter how old you are. 

At City Dental Studio in Cooper City, Florida, Dr. Gabrielle Bekov and our dedicated staff offer Invisalign as a discreet and convenient alternative for achieving a straighter smile. Here, we explore why you’re never too old for Invisalign and how it can benefit you. 

Understanding Invisalign 

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth gradually. Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit your teeth and move them into the desired position. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults. 

Why age doesn’t matter 

Here’s why age isn’t a barrier to benefiting from Invisalign clear aligners: 

Effective at any age

Invisalign works well for teens and adults, even seniors. The treatment focuses on moving teeth, which is possible at any age. 

Bone density 

It’s true that bone density decreases with age, but most adults still maintain sufficient bone density to support teeth movement. 

Customized plans 

Invisalign treatment plans are tailored to your needs, ensuring effective results regardless of your age. 

Benefits for adults and seniors 

When it comes to transforming your smile, Invisalign offers several advantages for adults and seniors considering orthodontic treatment.

Improved oral health

Straightening your teeth can reduce the risk of gum disease and tooth decay, especially crucial as you age. 

Enhanced comfort

Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable, with no sharp edges or wires that can irritate your mouth. 

Boosted confidence 

A straighter smile can significantly enhance self-esteem and confidence in social and professional settings. 

What does Invisalign treatment involve?

What you can expect during your Invisalign treatment:

Consultation

You start by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Bekov to discuss your dental needs and determine if Invisalign is right for you. 

Commitment

Invisalign requires discipline, as aligners need to be worn 20-22 hours a day and changed every 1-2 weeks. 

Treatment duration

The length of your treatment varies, but most adults complete their Invisalign journey in 12-18 months. 

Age shouldn’t deter you from achieving a healthy, beautiful smile. Invisalign offers a versatile, effective, and discreet way to straighten teeth for all ages. Whether you’re in your 30s, 50s, or older, Invisalign can help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
