Getting your teeth straightened isn’t just for teenagers anymore. Like many adults, you have probably wanted to straighten your teeth. Our teeth tend to get slightly crooked over time, especially if we wore braces as kids but stopped wearing your retainer at some point.Straightening your teeth as an adult may seem to be an impossible dream, and you’ve got a long list of reasons why you can’t do it.

HERE ARE SOME ANSWERS TO SOME OF THOSE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:

• “I don’t want metal braces at my age.” With Invisalign, you don’t wear metal braces. Instead, your teeth are straightened by wear- ing a series of virtually invisible plastic aligners. Almost no one can tell you’ve got the aligners on (unless you tell them). They can also be removed if you have an important event or evening planned.
• “It’ll be too much trouble.” Treatment with Invisalign is so easy. You’ll receive a series of clear aligners, which allow you to start a fresh set every two weeks. You wear them all the time, except when you’re eating, drinking anything but water, brushing, and flossing.
• “It’ll take too long.”After your consultation we can determine an approximate treatment time for you. On average, most Invisalign takes about 3-12 months depending on each individual.
• “It’ll be too expensive.” Invisalign treatment is often similar in cost to traditional braces. In addition, if you have orthodontic insurance coverage, Invisalign is often covered to the same extent as traditional braces. At Yaletown, we offer a variety of affordable payment plans. Our office will be happy to work with you on all of the insurance and financial details.

Can I still have braces even though I am an adult?
