Invisalign at Any Age!

Posted on by MillenSmiles_aDmEEN

Do you want to make over your smile, but think you are too old for orthodontic treatment? If you feel like you missed the boat on braces, don’t worry. You can still get the smile of your dream with Invisalign at Millennium Smiles.

I’m Over 40. Can I Still Straighten My Smile?

Of course, you can! If you want straight teeth, but cringe at the thought of many years of orthodontic treatment, pain, and a mouthful of metal braces, think about Invisalign. Invisalign is a faster and more discreet option than metal braces suitable for adult patients of all ages.

Does Having Straight Teeth Matter at My Age?

Get a great smile at any age!

Yes, but not just for reasons that you think. While having straight teeth can make you look and feel great, there are additional benefits for straightening your teeth:

  • The alignment of your teeth affects your bite, so if your teeth are not straight or out of place, they can throw off your bite and cause unintended wear and tear on your temporomandibular joints – the joints that connect your jaw to your skull. When these joints wear down, it can mean pain, stiffness, and loss of jaw function.
  • The position of your teeth can also affect your oral health. Crooked, crowded, and overlapping teeth can make brushing and flossing difficult, which can leave you with plaque buildup, bad breath, gum disease, and tooth decay.

But I Don’t Want to Be in Treatment Forever

Straightening your teeth with Invisalign through Millennium Smiles is faster than you may think. The speed of straightening your teeth is faster at Millennium Smiles because Dr. Korous offers patients Invisalign with Propel to move teeth more quickly than orthodontic braces or with Invisalign alone.

On average, patients who choose Invisalign with our Frisco Dental office see their new smiles in about six months to a year of treatment. (Note: the speed of your treatment will depend on your specific bite correction needs)

Braces Are Not Just For Kids

Many patients do not want to experience the embarrassment or inconvenience of traditional metal braces. However, Millennium Smiles, serving Frisco and Little Elm, Texas, has alternatives to metal braces that will also straighten your teeth.

Crooked teeth may be more than just a cosmetic concern because they may have an impact on your overall dental health. Misaligned teeth can make it difficult to properly clean your teeth and can therefore increase your risk of cavities or gum disease. Crooked teeth may also affect a patient’s bite causing other dental health complications.

To avoid the appearance and discomfort of traditional metal braces, Millennium Smiles offers Invisalign clear aligners for adult patients who are looking to improve their smile. Invisalign is an orthodontic process that is able to straighten crooked teeth and fix under, over, or cross bite. An Invisalign treatment uses custom-made clear aligners that will gently shift your teeth into position.

There are many benefits to choosing Invisalign over traditional braces. A huge advantage of Invisalign is the ability to remove the clear aligners whenever you want, which allows you to brush and floss normally. This teeth straightening treatment also allows you to eat whatever foods you want, without any restrictions- a common complaint with metal braces. Another advantage of Invisalign is the virtually invisible, comfortable, soft aligners which will not irritate your tongue or cheeks.

Benefits of straighter teeth will extend further than a confident new smile. A straight smile will give you healthier gums because the gums fit more securely around the teeth. It also gives makes your mouth easier to clean and prevents plaque build up. A straight smile will prevent abnormal tooth wear and decrease your risk of tooth injury.

Your Frisco cosmetic dentist is an Invisalign provider and may recommend this as a cosmetic or restorative dental treatment. At Millennium Smiles, we will thoroughly examine your teeth and discuss the best options to realign your teeth and improve your overall dental health.

If your teeth are crooked or have concerns regarding your bite, schedule an appointment with your Frisco cosmetic dentist to discuss treatment options.
