If you’ve never had the opportunity to get braces while growing up, and are now, later in life, worried that being over a certain age is too late to get them fitted, we have good news. Due to the constant technological advancements in dental care, you can get the smile you’ve always wanted, without having to deal with the hassle of braces. The answer: Invisalign.
- Age is a just a number
Many older people believe in the myth that you could only have braces when you were a teenager, but that is no longer true, since Invisalign braces can be used by anyone – at any age. Invisalign is designed to be discreet and effective, so you don’t have to be worried about the traditional concerns braces present.
- Getting started on your Invisalign braces
Your first step is consulting with your orthodontist about Invisalign, and how you can go about getting it. They will start with examining your current teeth, jaw and bone condition, and treat any dental problems before going ahead with the braces.
- When you’re good to go
Your dentist is going to start with impressions of your teeth and develop a custom Invisalign brace for you with a treatment plan. Once you get your first set of aligners, you need to wear them for 20-22 hours a day for six weeks, and then you will get a new set of aligners and repeat the process. This continues until all your teeth are straightened, because each new aligner is only causing certain movement of your teeth at a time to reduce the amount of pain and discomfort.
- Why you should get braces
No matter what your age is, there is both a cosmetic and structural purpose to getting braces. If you have crooked or uneven teeth, you probably know all too well that they are tricky to clean and might be causing you confidence issues in public spaces. Eliminate these issues by correcting your teeth through Invisalign.
