Dr. Mary on Orthodontics for Adults
If you’re an adult and you have a lot of wear on your teeth and maybe not the healthiest bite, maybe some gum recession, and you feel like you’ve missed your window for Invisalign, I would say, why don’t you just come get a consult with me? We can talk about it and we can see if you need treatment. A lot of times, if you feel like you’ve missed your window, that really is not the case. I’ve treated patients in their 70s, even I had one patient in residency in her 80s.
She was really happy with her treatment and we’re really able to help out people at any stage in life. A lot of times correcting your bite now will make future problems not an issue anymore. When I see adults for a consultation, especially if it’s for Invisalign, I always make sure to let patients know that it’s not just about aligning teeth.
There are other issues that I can address like grinding and jaw problems and a whole bucket of things. So during the consultation, I inform the patient, I ask the questions. If there’s a patient that has jaw problems, if I’m able to help with that, then I’ll let them know and they can make their decision from there.
