If You Are 52 Years Old is It Okay to Wear Invisalign?

As long as your teeth and the supporting structures for your teeth are healthy, Invisalign can be a great option.  As one ages, periodontal disease becomes the number one reason for tooth loss.  Invisalign has advantages over regular braces when it comes to maintaining healthy gums,etc. in that the cleaning is facilitated and the accumulation of plaque is minimized.  Your Invisalign Certified orthodontist/dentist can make a determination on the appropriateness of your  treatment for Invisalign.  Age is not the major factor.   Go for it.

Age is generally not a direct factor in Invisalign treatment. What is important is your gum and tooth health. A key thing that prevents Invisalign is periodontal disease. This must be sorted out before you can consider Invisalign. Talk to your orthodontist; they’ll be able to tell you if you’re a good candidate

Invisalign has no age limit. As long as your periodontal (gum and bone) health is good, you should be able to use Invisalign. In my orthodontic practice, we have been able to use Invisalign on children as young as age 10 and the eldest patient was in their 80’s. Your orthodontist will tell you whether or not you are a good candidate.
