You’re Not Too Old for Invisalign: Getting the Smile You Want at Any Age

Love Yourself, Love Your Smile

am-i-too-old-for-invisalign
  • Dr. Monica Madan
  • October 13, 2022

In the United States, orthodontic treatment is so strongly associated with adolescence, it’s almost a rite of passage. If you’re an adult, however, it can feel like the window for correcting alignment issues has closed. Shouldn’t I have done that when I was a kid? Do adults go to orthodontists? 

One of the most common questions we’re asked is, “Am I too old for Invisalign?” By taking a closer look at the answer, you can better understand your options for finally getting the smile you want.

Am I Too Old for Invisalign?

No, you’re never too old for Invisalign. 

These innovative clear aligners can correct a range of orthodontic problems no matter your age. In fact, as a comfortable, convenient, and discreet alternative to braces, Invisalign tends to be the first choice for adults seeking orthodontic treatment. 

Why Should I Get Orthodontic Treatment as an Adult?

Whether you underwent orthodontic care earlier in life and have seen your teeth shift since or have never addressed your alignment issues before, seeking treatment in adulthood can have tremendous benefits:

Function and Comfort

Misaligned bites may cause significant discomfort, increase your risk of dental trauma, and interfere with everyday functions, including eating and sleeping. Over time, alignment problems can even damage your teeth. Bringing your teeth into correct alignment can relieve existing problems and prevent future complications, leaving you with optimal function and greater comfort.

Emotional Wellness

Your smile can have a profound impact on your emotional well-being. Whether you’re mildly self-conscious or have experienced a severe loss of confidence, misaligned teeth can interfere with your ability to fully live the life you want. That’s why addressing these issues is so transformative. Research shows that orthodontic treatment can significantly improve self-esteem, mental health, and overall body image.

Long-term Health

Correctly brushing and flossing is easier when your teeth are straight. Staying on track with oral self-care not only helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss, but may offer protection against a range of other health conditions, including heart disease.

If you’re wondering, “Am I too old for Invisalign?” remember that it’s never too late to experience these benefits. Taking care of your teeth means taking charge of your health, both physically and emotionally.

What Should I Expect During Treatment?

If you’re considering Invisalign treatment, your first step is to schedule a consultation with an orthodontist. They will perform an exam and discuss your goals to determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. They can also answer any questions you have to ensure you fully understand the process.

Next, they will use a 3D digital scanner to create a digital impression of your teeth. This scan will be used to guide your treatment plan and create your custom aligners. When your clear aligners are ready, your orthodontist will verify the fit and provide instructions on how to use them for the best outcome. 

Expect to wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, and the number of aligners you receive depends on how much movement and what types of movements are prescribed. Over time, this gently pushes your teeth into a healthy, comfortable position.

When your Invisalign treatment is complete, your orthodontist will likely create a retainer that you’ll wear at night. This is important to preserve your results and prevent your teeth from shifting.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Each case is unique, but Invisalign treatment is often completed in a matter of months. For even faster results, look for an orthodontist with expertise in accelerated treatment options. 

What About Veneers?

If you want a fast solution to a crooked smile, you may be considering veneers

Veneers are thin porcelain shells made to match the color of your teeth and attached to the surface of your teeth. While they can give you the appearance of a straight smile, they don’t actually change the alignment of your teeth. As a result, they don’t address functional issues and you won’t experience benefits like greater comfort or easier self-care.

If you are interested in veneers for cosmetic reasons, it’s best to resolve any alignment issues through orthodontic treatment before seeking out a cosmetic dentist for veneers

It’s Not Too Late to Get the Smile You Want

If you’re unhappy with your teeth, it’s time to stop wondering, “Am I too old for Invisalign?” and start your journey toward a healthier, more beautiful smile.

No one has scheduled my appointment better than Anthony and Dr. Madden is the best doctor!!
l i z z i e
Dr Monica and her staff are just the absolute best. Office is beautiful and clean. Staff is great and kind and have never had any issues whatsoever. The work that she and her staff members... do is just 10/10. They are also so welcoming and genuinely kind. Dr Monica and even members of her staff like Anthony will have genuine conversations with you and make you feel the most comfortable. Even during a treatment that many (including myself) are not fond of. (Anything dental related can be scary but they truly put you at peace.) I’m so happy that I made the decision to proceed with treatment here. All questions are always answered. Concerns dealt with. And treatment is impeccable. The results I already have solidify why I’m so happy with my decision to get work done here.read more

Very friendly staff & very accommoding. They are very understanding. Everyone here is super welcoming and very nice! Can't wait to see my next appointment.
nathalie K.
I highly recommend Dr Madan at BHO for all of your orthodontic needs. Between her warm personality, knowledge and skill you will have to look no further.This office constantly has amazing... offers and specials that make their treatment pricing EXTREMELY competitive. Trust me, as I’ve gotten consults from just about every provider in town. I am seeing unbelievable results with my Invisalign treatment only a few weeks in. Dr Madan was the obvious choice, as she made this process as minimally invasive as possible. I have been to multiple of her offices and they all are pristine. I would recommend to anyone in the LA area looking for the best provider for their orthodontist!read more

So far I am having an amazing experience with Dr Madan and BHO. I’ve consulted with many Orthos over the years for Invisalign. Almost all said I would have to extract a tooth to solve over... crowding issue on bottom teeth. Within literally 5 weeks of Invisalign, my bottom teeth are almost completely straightened out already. I cannot believe how fast this treatment is working. Not to mention, I had tradition braces in the past and my teeth fully reverted to their original form. It took over 4 years to correct my crowding with braces the first time, back in the day.How incredible Dr Madan and her staff is , along with her immaculate offices deserves its own second review. 10/10 experience so far highly recommend them!read more
