Maybe at age 60 you don’t want to go bungee jumping, maybe you do. The most important thing is to avoid disqualifying yourself from certain experiences just because you think you’re too old. At age 60, for example, you could be a candidate for Invisalign. The same goes for people who are age 16, or younger, or much older. The bottom line: You can straighten your teeth at nearly any age with Invisalign.
Adults are busy balancing a job, family, and all the extracurriculars that make up daily life. Your misaligned teeth might be on your mind, but who has time to deal with the annoyances that come with conventional metal braces? The scraping of gums and lips, the food restrictions, the looking like an adolescent even though you have long grown out of that age?
With Invisalign, you save time, effort, and discomfort.
It doesn’t matter what decade you’re in, whether you’re in college or in retirement, raising babies or raising teenagers or raising grandchildren. Invisalign was designed for the busy adult at any age.
Adolescents have enough to worry about at their age, regularly feeling self-conscious and awkward. Their braces shouldn’t make them feel even more uncomfortable. Invisalign Teen is an option for many teenagers, and plenty of them jump at the chance to straighten their teeth without brackets and wires.
Teens who qualify for Invisalign have the same rules to follow as any Invisalign-wearer, but there are a few elements that make this version of invisible aligners teen-centric. Each aligner has small blue wear indicators that tell your Haymarket Invisalign provider that the aligners are being worn as often as they should be. The aligners are also carefully designed to accommodate a changing young mouth that is still waiting for some adult teeth to fully erupt.
While some parents worry about whether their teen is responsible enough to manage the demands of Invisalign, dentists know that teens are so thrilled to have this under-the-radar option (that still lets them eat all their favorite foods) they are dedicated to the system and good at following the rules.
