Is It Too Late for Braces?


Teeth that overlap or that appear crooked or misaligned can often be the cause of embarrassment when it comes to smiling easily and often. Crooked teeth can also be detrimentally impacting your oral health, including the stability and function of your bite.

West Ashley Family Dentistry in Charleston is a local leading dentist for orthodontic treatment with invisible braces using the Invisalign® clear aligner system. Drs. Lynn and Dickert can help you achieve a beautiful new smile that you will look forward to sharing with Invisalign treatment that is available for teen and adult patients. Clear, comfortable aligners will gently reposition your teeth in 12-15 months with little to no impact on your daily life.

With Invisalign, patients can enjoy their favorite foods, brush, and floss thoroughly and discreetly change the appearance of their smile. The aligners will not irritate the gums and soft tissues of the mouth and are easy to change out bi-weekly or according to your unique treatment plan.

Am I too old for braces?

You are never “too old” to consider orthodontic treatment options when addressing a range of concerns, including teeth that are crooked, overcrowded or affecting the bite. Invisalign can be the ideal solution for adult patients who can benefit from mild to moderate orthodontia, providing effective treatment without the discomfort and hassles often associated with traditional metal braces. Invisalign can also address orthodontic relapse, or minor tooth movement after previous treatment, overbite, underbite and spacing issues.

Why straighten my teeth?

Straightening teeth that are crooked will improve not only your confidence in your smile but your long-term dental health. Crooked teeth are more prone to decay, damage, and can affect the function and stability of the bite. Teeth that are aligned properly minimize bite problems and are also easier to brush and floss effectively.

You should feel great about your smile! If you are ready to boost your smile confidence with Invisalign, schedule an appointment in our Charleston area dental office. We will evaluate your dental health, discuss your concerns and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs.
