Get straight teeth and correct your bite at any age.
With Canadians living longer and healthier lives, dental care for seniors has become more important than ever. While many people think of “braces” and teeth straightening as something you do as a teenager, seniors are learning they don’t have to live with crooked teeth, tooth gaps, misalignment, and other dental issues.
Invisalign is a comfortable, easy solution for adults of all ages. Learn more about how Invisalign works and why it could be right for you.
🕵🏼Myth:
Adult teeth are settled
and fixed in place.
Conventional wisdom holds that growing teenagers have more malleable teeth that are easier to reset with braces. Adult teeth are established and cannot be reshaped or changed. In fact, adult teeth can be realigned just like younger teeth. Gentle, constant correction such as Invisalign® works over time to reshape your teeth into a straight, well-shaped smile. Invisalign can help with crooked teeth, gap teeth, and other misalignment issues.
🕵🏼Myth:
You have to wear your
aligners all the time.
One reason for Invisalign’s popularity is its ease and comfort. Invisalign aligners can be removed during meals or for special occasions. Though you will have to wear the aligners as much as possible during your treatment, you can remove them for short periods. The more you consistently wear your aligners, the faster your treatment will progress.
🕵🏼Myth:
If you had braces as a child,
you don’t need them now.
Teeth often crowd as you age due to changes in your muscles and tendons and a natural shortening of your jaw. Even if you had straight teeth all your life, you may notice crookedness and crowding as you age. Invisalign can help correct age-related crowding and get back your winning smile.
🕵🏼Myth:
Braces are painful and
difficult to wear.
Invisalign aligners are custom designed to fit your mouth. The clear trays mean you don’t have the “metal mouth” of traditional braces, and the custom fit makes them comfortable to wear. Especially for seniors with lower bone density or weakened teeth, or who are prone to gum damage and cavities, Invisalign can be a gentle and easy treatment.

There is no point changing
my teeth now.
