\"Older<\/a>If you missed your chance for braces as a teen or your teeth have moved some over the years, it\u2019s easy to feel embarrassed by alignment issues. As an alternative to metal brackets and wires, many adults are choosing Invisalign to fix gapped or overcrowded teeth. The clear aligners are a discreet solution, which is partly the reason 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over the age of 18. Although you\u2019d like to improve your smile, you might wonder, am I too old for Invisalign? No! You\u2019re never too old to invest in a healthy, attractive smile; however, there are a few things you need to know before getting started.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Invisalign is Different<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional braces rely on brackets and wires to pull the teeth into position. Invisalign<\/a> differs because it doesn\u2019t use the same method. Instead, custom-made clear aligners are worn over your teeth to apply continual pressure to reposition them. The aligners are worn for at least 22 hours per day, switching to a new one in the series weekly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Age Doesn\u2019t Determine Your Candidacy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your age isn\u2019t a factor when determining your candidacy for clear aligners. In fact, Invisalign for seniors is quite possible. Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to ensure your smile is healthy while also assessing your bite and alignment concerns. They\u2019ll take the time to learn more about your lifestyle and oral health habits to determine if Invisalign in Costa Mesa is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Adults are Often Better Patients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although clear aligners can be used for teens, adults often make better candidates for Invisalign because they have more self-motivation. They are also more likely to follow their treatment plan correctly to ensure there aren\u2019t any unexpected complications along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Your Treatment May Take Longer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Patients of all ages prefer Invisalign because it provides quick results. Generally, most patients are finished with their series in about 12 months, but several things affect the duration of the treatment, like the complexity of your orthodontic needs. Your age can also influence the process because you\u2019ve already finished growing. You will also require a retainer once you complete your series to prevent your teeth from moving back into their previous positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. More Financial Freedom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Older adults are often more financially stable, which means they are likely to have the means to pay for clear aligners. Many dental insurances can be used to offset the cost of adult Invisalign in Costa Mesa to lower the amount you\u2019ll need to pay. Your dentist will offer several solutions for any remaining balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t put a healthy, beautiful smile off any longer. Contact your dentist today to see if you\u2019re a candidate for Invisalign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
