You can straighten your teeth without metal braces. Invisalign™ is an FDA approved system that uses clear, removable aligners to incrementally straighten your teeth. There are no uncomfortable brackets or wires, and because you remove the aligners to eat and drink, there are no food restrictions or problems with brushing or flossing. Invisalign™ uses 3D computer imaging to map out your entire treatment plan in advance, allowing you to see what your teeth will look like before you begin treatment. Then, using the imaging, a series of custom aligners are created that will move teeth incrementally. You will replace each aligner every two weeks with the next aligner in the sequence. Average treatment time from initial teeth position to brilliant, straight smile ranges from 9 to 15 months. The best part is, most people will never notice that you are undergoing treatment!
Answer: NO! you are never too old and it is never to late to want a beautiful smile without the burden of braces. Invisalign™ is actually more commonly used for adults who don't want the inconvenience of braces and want to straighten there teeth discreetly.
Answer: As soon as possible. if you aren 100% happy with your smile, DONT wait. get your confident smile in as little as 9 to 15 months.
If your teeth function properly but you are unhappy with their appearance, cosmetic dentistry can give you the look you desire.
