Many adults erroneously believe that if they didn\u2019t receive orthodontic treatment when they were younger, it\u2019s simply too late to straighten their teeth now. But the good news is that with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivierafamilydentistryofmesquite.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a>, you\u2019re never too old to get a gorgeous, evenly spaced smile! Here\u2019s a closer look at how treatment works for adults, and why there\u2019s no time like the present to get the gorgeous, perfectly aligned grin you\u2019ve always wanted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Invisalign Works for Adult Patients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a good reason why dentists recommend starting orthodontic treatment when their patients are children or teens. That\u2019s because as your mouth grows, your jaw bones get denser, and your teeth become more firmly attached in their places. Still, even though it may be a little bit harder and take a little longer to realign a stubborn smile, it\u2019 s not impossible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Invisalign, you can still realign adult teeth, even if it\u2019s been many years since they\u2019ve erupted. The good news is that this treatment often works much faster than traditional braces, so even though it may still take 18-24 months to straighten your smile, this is usually far less time than it would take with old fashioned wires and brackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Adults Patients Prefer Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to working faster than traditional braces, Invisalign also has the added benefit of being discreet. Not only are your trays clear, but they also are completely removable for meals and for cleaning your teeth, so you\u2019ll never have to worry about broccoli stuck in your wires and brackets, nor will you need to stress about everyone focusing on your equipment instead of what you\u2019re saying!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I Qualify for Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The good news is that with Invisalign, there\u2019s no upper age limit. In fact, as long as you\u2019re over six years old, you\u2019re likely a good candidate. However, please be aware that despite your age, there are still some reasons you may not qualify for Invisalign. Certain problems such as significant gaps between teeth, severe bite issues, or teeth that are too short or small for the aligners to reach may be better treated with traditional braces. Your dentist will determine if Invisalign is right for you at your orthodontic consultation. If it\u2019s not, don\u2019t despair- he or she can help you find a solution that <em>does<\/em> work for you, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, while you may have heard over the years that getting a straighter, more even smile isn\u2019t possible after a certain age, with Invisalign, that couldn\u2019t be further from the truth! So, stop hiding your smile from the world! Speak to your dentist about Invisalign today, and get the healthy, even grin you\u2019ve been waiting your whole life for, faster than you ever thought possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivierafamilydentistryofmesquite.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Riviera Family Dentistry of Mesquite<\/a>, we want you to have the smile you\u2019ve always wanted, even if you\u2019re well beyond your teens.
