I finally have some money to fix my teeth. Mostly I am dealing with some front teeth that stick out. I’m not opposed to braces, but I am 53 and wondering if there is something better for someone my age? I know I’m a little late to the game in getting my teeth straightened. I just want a pretty smile for once. <\/p>\n

Dear Sylvia,<\/p>\n

\"Upper<\/p>\n

There is no late to the game when it comes to a beautiful smile. You get there when you can. I know a woman who is straightening her teeth in her 80s. Looking at it that way, you’re ahead of the game. You have a couple of options. The first is traditional braces<\/a>, which you have already mentioned. <\/p>\n

However, I would like to recommend you look into Invisalign<\/a> (pictured above). This uses clear aligners to straighten your teeth. No one will know you are even using orthodontics. They are invisible even at a conversational distance. They are more comfortable than traditional braces and work in half the time. <\/p>\n

There is an additional benefit to using Invisalign instead of traditional braces. The clear aligners can double as teeth whitening<\/a> trays. This way you can straighten and whiten your teeth at the same time for a fraction of the cost. Your dentist will just have to provide you with the whitening gel, which you can wear in the aligners at your convenience. <\/p>\n
