Invisalign for Adults Can Benefit Oral Health!

Did you know that considering Invisalign at an older age can actually be beneficial to your oral health?

If you have crowded or crooked teeth you may have more problems with cavities, gingivitis, or oral hygiene.

Realigning your bite with Invisalign can help prevent common problems caused by bite misalignment, like TMJ, chipped teeth, or worn out fillings.

Are You Too Old for Invisible Aligners?

Are you self-conscious about your smile?

Do you wish that you would have gotten braces when you were a child so you could have the smile you’ve always wanted?

Maybe when you were younger, braces were too expensive. Maybe your dental insurance never gave you the coverage you needed to get braces or Invisalign aligners. If your circumstances have changed, it’s not too late!

It’s very common for adults to wonder if they’re too old for traditional braces or Invisalign invisible aligners. Often they worry about the look of braces as adults, or worry that their teeth won’t move as much as they’d like.

One of the many things that makes Invisalign great is that you can wear braces and straighten your teeth without anyone knowing! Invisalign invisible aligners have no age restrictions, so you can get them as an adult without worrying.

Utilize That Summer Growth Spurt for Your Child's Braces

Studies have shown that the greatest growth spurts for kids occur during the long days of summer! It’s ideal for your child to get braces before these spurts happen to ensure your child’s teeth move into their desired positions while they’re growing.

Of course, not every child will be ready to start treatment in the summer, but it’s an ideal time to get that first appointment scheduled and meet the orthodontist.

 If your child needs braces or Invisalign in Ann Arbor, contact Stieper & Brust Orthodontics today! Our friendly staff will make you and your child feel at ease throughout the entire process of getting braces or invisible aligners.

Summer is the Perfect Time for Invisalign!

Did you know that summertime is the best time for kids to get braces or Invisalign? We know – it’s not the most fun summer activity, but for many kids, summer is the perfect time to see your orthodontist and get a head start on having a healthier, straighter smile in time for picture day.

 Summer is a great time for braces because with your busy schedule, we know that fitting in appointments while juggling athletic practices, band concerts, and other after-school activities can be tough!

The Process of Getting Braces with Experienced Orthodontists in Ann Arbor

The “best” age to get braces is generally between ages 10 and 14. For most types of braces, the initial process takes about 1-2 hours. The process of getting braces put on doesn’t hurt, but having your mouth open for a long time will usually make your teeth, mouth, and jaw sore afterwards.

According to Oral-B, here are some tips for soothing nerves about your child getting braces:

• Make sure your child or teen knows that braces aren’t forever, and the end result is a beautiful, straight smile!
• Take photos of your child’s progression through treatment to get them excited about the progress they’re making. They’ll have a serious confidence boost seeing their teeth improve over time.

Ask Your Orthodontist About Invisliagn!

Invisalign is extremely convenient and comfortable, but it is much more vulnerable to patient error. When we say you need to wear your aligners for 22 hours a day, we really do mean it! Not doing so can prolong your treatment, necessitating treatment extension and more aligners, meaning more time without the healthy, beautiful smile of your dreams.
