Orthodontic Options for Seniors: Is It Too Late for Braces or Invisalign?
Many people are surprised to learn that orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids and teens. In fact, adults over 50 are one of the fastest-growing groups choosing braces or Invisalign®. At Risinger Orthodontics, we believe it’s never too late to invest in your smile, your health, and your confidence, and offer orthodontic care for older adults.
Discreet Orthodontic Options
Today’s senior orthodontic treatment options are more comfortable and less noticeable than ever. Clear aligners like Invisalign® let you straighten your teeth without brackets or wires, while modern braces offer smaller, more discreet designs. These options make it easy for seniors to enjoy treatment without feeling self-conscious.
Benefits of a Straighter Smile
Orthodontics isn’t only about looks; it’s about health. A properly aligned smile can improve bite function, reduce jaw pain, and make brushing and flossing more effective. These improvements mean having healthier gums and teeth, which go so much further than your smile. Poor oral health is linked to an increased risk of illness and cardiovascular disease.
For many seniors, treatment can even help protect teeth and gums, reducing the risk of dental issues down the road. Plus, the boost in confidence that comes from a straighter smile can be life-changing at any age.
Choosing Between Braces or Invisalign
Considerations for Adults
Both braces and Invisalign® are excellent options, but your choice may depend on your goals and lifestyle. Braces are highly effective for complex cases, while Invisalign® offers the convenience of removable, nearly invisible aligners.
As a Top 1% Diamond Invisalign® provider, the Risinger Orthodontics team has unmatched experience helping adults achieve fantastic results with aligners.
