Am I too old for Invisalign?

Q. When I was about 14 I had braces to treat a slight crookedness of my teeth and used metal braces. Now I am 22 and the slight crookedness has returned and it is really affecting my confidence. Reading up now I see many dentists say to wear retianers forever pretty much. But my dentist never told me and my teeth have gone back to the way they are. I am wondering if Invisalign will be able to help me and also what kinfd of cost I would be looking at because of my age. Thanks.
A. hi

The cost for invisalign can start from £1500 and cost depends on complexity. It is never too late to have orthodontics! I see plenty of adults of all ages! I had braces myself at the age of 27!

Am I too old for invisalign?

Q. Is there an age at which invisalign becomes less effective or is there no age limit or anything? I am now into my early 50s so am leaving it quite late but was hoping it is never too late to start!
A. No teeth will always move i have treated people in their late sixties, its never too late!
