At What Age Does Invisalign Lose Effectiveness?

Thre is no age limit for invisalign.Invisalign is not effective for very young people when they have their baby teeth.

However, we can treat people with invisalign even at 80+ age.

Our oldest patient was 70 when we did invisalign. Age does not matter but whats important is enough bone in upper and lower jaw of proper levels as well as a good stable periodontal tissue. We always perform a full exam to insure foundation is healthy before starting invisalign or braces.  The idea is simple: You do not want to remodel a home and move things around without having a strong foundation otherwise the entire building will collapse (teeth will be lost).  Treatment plan may be a bit different depending on various conditions.

Age has no effect on tooth movement through bone.  Invisalign is a method by which teeth can be moved and therefore age will not be a factor in the biology of tooth movement.  If you are older and considering invisalign make sure you get a through check up and if your teeth and gums are healthy then you are ready to go.  Remember straight teeth are easier to maintain and will help you to keep your teeth for your lifetime!!!
