Why It’s Never Too Late for Invisalign
Have you ever caught yourself hiding your smile in photos? Or perhaps you cover your mouth when laughing with friends?
Rest assured, you’re not alone. Many adults wish they could straighten their teeth, but worry that the opportunity has passed them by. The good news, it hasn’t. Remember the smile you’ve always wanted? It’s still possible.
Myth: Orthodontic Treatments are Just for Adolescents
The myth that orthodontic treatment belongs only in teenage years needs debunking. Your teeth can be straightened at any age, and Invisalign offers the perfect solution for adults.
At First Impressions Dental, we’ve helped countless patients in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond transform their smiles.
Why Invisalign is Perfect for Adults
Traditional braces can feel like a commitment too far for many adults. Metal brackets and wires don’t always fit with professional settings or personal comfort.
Invisalign changes the game entirely:
- Nearly invisible aligners that others might never notice
- Removable for meals so you can enjoy your favourite foods
- Easier cleaning than traditional braces
- Fewer dental visits required, perfect for busy schedules
- Digital planning that shows your result before you start
The Health Benefits of Invisalign
Straight teeth aren’t just about looking good; they contribute to your overall health too.
Misaligned teeth can cause:
- Uneven wear on tooth surfaces
- Difficulty cleaning between crowded teeth
- Increased risk of gum disease
- Jaw pain and headaches from an improper bite
- Speech impediments in some cases
Addressing these issues brings benefits that last a lifetime.
What to Expect With Adult Invisalign
- Your journey begins with a consultation at one of our Perth locations. One of our experienced dentists will assess your smile goals.
- We’ll take digital scans – no messy moulds here! These create a 3D model of your mouth, allowing us to map out your entire treatment journey.
- Most adults complete treatment within 12-18 months. You’ll change aligners approximately every two weeks, with check-ups every 6-8 weeks.
- You’ll see progress throughout your treatment, not just at the end.
