Is Invisalign Cost Effective for Senior Citizens?

Quite often, simply putting the teeth in a better spot gives a more esthtic result but also a healthier one too. Root canals can be avoided, giving a more predictable long term result.

We have been doing Invisalign almost as long as it has been around. Certain cases are better handled by conventional orthodontics. That being said,the majority of our Invisalign patients are over thirty, and many over 50. It is a great alternative for those that are in the public eye or would feel socailly awkward with braces.

In our practice, we have more patients in the  40, 50 and 60 years old range than younger patients.  Most can afford invisalign now or have good credit and can do it through care credit or some kind of 0 interest financing plan. These people have always wanted straight teeth and now they can do something nice for themselves and no one will ever know they have invisalign on!  At the age of 65, invisalign can make a healtheir mouth and maybe less resortavtive work.  We often think invisalgin is used for cosmetic purposes, but truthfully, the teeth are straighter and there is less chance of perio problems and other dental problems in general.  I would say...Go for it!
