How Old do I Have to be to Get Invisalign®?

Experienced Fairfax, Virginia dentist, Dr. Pamela Marzban, knows that every mouth is unique. When it comes to [link id=’81’ text=’Invisalign®’] treatment, the question is less one of age, and more one of preparedness.

Invisalign® is capable of making minor changes to your bite and correcting mild cases of malocclusion. When you are in your teenage years, your teeth may be easier to move and require a less intensive option. While braces remain a popular choice for adolescents and young adults, Invisalign® is often a less obtrusive alternative.

Invisalign® is appropriate for most people who have all of their adult teeth. It is important that you have all of your adult teeth for Dr. Marzban to determine the exact adjustment you will require. If all of your adult teeth have erupted and you are considering braces, Dr. Marzban can provide you with a thorough evaluation and help you determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign®.

The important thing to remember is that Invisalign® requires diligence. The plastic alignment trays must be worn at all times unless otherwise directed by Dr. Marzban. You need to be prepared to wear your aligners, and follow all of Dr. Marzban’s advice before you are ready for Invisalign®.
