Most people think of Invisalign as a treatment option only fitting for teenagers and young adults, all of whom desire to achieve straighter teeth without having to wear conventional braces. While Invisalign may probably be commonly used as such, it does not mean that it’s no longer a viable option for seniors.

You may come across many of your peers who have lived with crooked teeth all their lives, but if you are a senior and you want straighter teeth, Invisalign may still be a possibility for you.

Here are three simple reasons it’s never too late to try using Invisalign:

Reason #1: The Mechanism Suits All Ages

There’s a misconception that as you grow older, your teeth are fully set in their jaws and can no longer move, but the fact is that you may straighten your teeth at any age with the appropriate amount of pressure.

As you apply pressure to the teeth, they will begin to move gradually but steadily. With fresh aligners that exert even more pressure on your teeth implanted consistently, your teeth will continue to shift—whether you only wish to reposition a few teeth or all of them to combat severe misalignment.

Reason #2: It’s Designed to Be Discreet

One of the most significant advantages of using Invisalign is that almost no one will notice. This is because Invisalign utilizes a set of plastic aligning trays instead of metal braces, comparable to the retainers given to people who finish braces treatment or the trays used in at-home teeth whitening treatments. The length of your recommended therapy will determine the number of trays required.

Reason #3: The Process is Simple

As with any dental situation, it’s essential to listen to your dentist. With any treatment, you’ll be given a set of guidelines regarding the maintenance of your braces or your Invisalign trays, and most importantly, why you must follow them. If you’re disciplined, it would be fairly simple to stick to instructions so you can see efficient results and finish your treatment fast.

Remember that a common reason Invisalign treatment takes longer than expected is that patients don’t adhere to their dentist's recommendations. When you remove your aligners for a long time, your teeth will begin to drift back to their original position, restarting your treatment from the very beginning. The process can only be as simple as you want it to be.

Conclusion

Invisalign suits everybody for various reasons, but mainly because of its simple mechanism, uncomplicated process, and of course, its discretion. It’s a treatment worth trying if you really want to straighten your teeth without the look of metal braces and the overall hassle of tinkering with metal in your mouth. It's also never too late to acquire straightened or perfect teeth if you have always desired them, even as a senior.

Invisalign can produce excellent cosmetic results, as it does not require the brackets and wires associated with conventional braces. It is also a far more inconspicuous approach to straighten your teeth.
