Can Adults Get Invisalign?

Crooked or overlapping teeth can cause more issues than just embarrassment about your smile. They can also negatively impact your oral health by altering the stability of your bite, which could lead to more serious problems down the line.

What Are Invisible Braces?

Lanier Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is a Buford, GA Invisalign® provider offering treatment with clear aligners for a wide range of dental health and cosmetic concerns. Invisalign invisible braces offers a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces to achieve a straighter, healthier smile for both adults and teens. The Invisalign system gently repositions your teeth in a little over a year, without greatly changing your appearance or your daily activities.

Patients wearing Invisalign can still enjoy their favorite foods and easily maintain good oral hygiene unlike with traditional braces. The invisible aligners are designed to be worn for about 22 hours a day without irritating the gums or sensitive areas of the mouth. Patients can easily remove them to eat, brush and floss and to swap them out for another set based on your treatment plan.

Am I Too Old For Invisalign?

Even though our teeth have stopped growing by adulthood, that does not mean you are too old or it’s too late to consider orthodontic treatment to straighten crooked teeth. Many adults have traditional braces or use Invisalign with positive results. Invisalign can be used to treat mild to moderate orthodontic issues, as well as resolving issues of minor tooth movement after previous orthodontic treatment. Invisalign also offers patients simple and less invasive options to treat underbite, overbite, and gaps between teeth.

Why Should I Straighten My Teeth?

Crooked or overlapping teeth are more than just a cosmetic procedure. Crooked teeth are more prone to damage and more susceptible to tooth decay, causing more serious problems in the future. Teeth that are straight are easier to brush and floss, reducing your chances of decay and plaque buildup. Also, serious overbite and underbite issues can also affect dental health by changing the stability of your bite over time. Invisalign can be used to treat all the aforementioned issues and is minimally invasive.
