Do you wish you had straighter teeth? If so, you, like many other adults, might feel like that ship has sailed since children and teenagers are usually seen wearing braces. But is there such a thing as being \u201ctoo old\u201d for Invisalign<\/a>? Keep reading to find out (the answer may surprise you!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, Are You \u201cToo Old\u201d For Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re 35, 55, or 75, you shouldn\u2019t let your age stop you from scheduling a consultation. After all, that\u2019s not a factor that plays a role in whether or not you\u2019re a candidate! In fact, many adults are great Invisalign patients because they are investing their own money, they understand the importance of good oral hygiene, and they can handle the responsibilities that come with orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qualities of a Good Invisalign Candidate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At your consultation, your dentist will review your medical history, conduct a comprehensive oral exam, and learn about your smile goals. In the process, they will determine if you have all of your teeth, the severity of your case, and the health of your teeth and gums. The good news is that \u2013 if your smile is healthy and the orthodontic issues at hand are relatively mild, then there is a good chance that you\u2019ll be a candidate for Invisalign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important note: As mentioned above, there are certain responsibilities that come with Invisalign, including wearing the aligners for 20 hours a day, every day. So, if you have a tendency to lose or break things, then traditional braces may be more ideal since they are bonded to your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
