If you have crooked teeth, then you may be self-conscious about showing off your smile. It\u2019s something that might\u2019ve bothered you over the years, and you might be finally ready to get orthodontics. Invisalign<\/a> has become a popular option for teens because they are a discreet way to get an aligned grin, but can older adults get them as well? Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So, Can I Get Invisalign as an Older Adult?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In short, yes! Clear aligners don’t discriminate by age. They are meant to help you get the healthier bite you deserve. How old you are doesn’t necessarily matter, but your specific orthodontic issues do. Mild to moderate cases are often good candidates, so if you have a more severe problem, then you may need to consider another option, like traditional braces, to get your desired results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have a longer time with Invisalign as well because your jawbone is fully developed compared to a teen. On average, it can take about 12 to 18 months, but your dentist can let you know more about your specific timeline. That said, you may be more diligent about wearing your trays since you know the struggles of having misalignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Exactly Does Invisalign Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since you can still benefit from clear aligners, you might wonder what your journey with them will be like. Simply put, you\u2019ll wear them for 20 to 22 hours every day and swap to a new pair every week or two. They will apply gentle pressure to gradually shift your teeth into their healthier positions. Better yet, you can remove them, so your diet won\u2019t need to change much. Just be sure you set alarms or reminders to put them back in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can I Do to Start My Invisalign Journey?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hearing that Invisalign is still an option for you may have you excited about getting your straighter smile. The next step is having a consultation with your dentist. They will take a look at your orthodontic issues and see what needs to be corrected. By ensuring you can get the results you dream of, you can feel confident knowing you will get the healthier bite you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
