It’s normal as you get older to worry that you’re “too old” to try certain things. Whether it’s nerves about trying a new sport, fear of not fitting in on a trendy social media network, or you think it’s too late to straighten your teeth, doubts about your age can sometimes hold you back from trying something wonderful. But don’t let fears about passed time stop you from getting the smile you deserve. Whether you’ve always wanted to get orthodontic work or you’ve had it before and your teeth have shifted, you’re never too old for SureSmile clear aligners! Here’s why this treatment will still work, even if you’re not exactly a kid anymore!
Why Orthodontic Treatment Works at Any Age
While it is true that orthodontic treatment does work faster when your jaws are still growing during your childhood and teens, because your teeth are always shifting, there is no such thing as being “too late” to start. Though your bones are more solid as an adult, you can still achieve the results you want. It may just take a little longer to get there.
Don’t Be Embarrassed
One reason adult patients don’t want to attempt orthodontic treatment after a certain age is because they are afraid they’ll be embarrassed by sporting a mouth full of wires and brackets. The good news is that with SureSmile, you don’t have to worry about that. These clear aligners are nearly invisible over your teeth. Not only that, but you can remove them to clean your teeth and to eat or drink anything but water, so you don’t have to make any dietary adjustments, and there’s no longer any need to worry about a stray piece of spinach caught in your braces!
Dealing With Other Oral Health Issues
As an adult, you may have already undergone other dental work such as fillings, crowns, or root canals. The good news is that you can still get SureSmile with these restorations. In fact, as long as your teeth and gums are in good condition, you can start wearing aligners at any age and expect the same beautiful results you would if you’d started as a kid!
Remember, you’re never too old to have a beautiful smile. SureSmile clear aligners can help get the results you want at any age- without the hassle of traditional braces!
