Of course not! I have had a 70 year old patient strengthening her teeth with clear braces (Invisalign) with a great outcome.
It is never too late to straighten your teeth. I have patients in late 50's and 60's that are in braces or Invisalign.
It’s not too late for orthodontic treatment. However there are some determining factors that will dictate the predictability of your treatment outcome. Some of the factors are the severity of the misalignment, bone level, gingival health, oral hygiene, and the bite classification. I’m not an orthodontist, therefore I suggest you schedule a consultation with an orthodontist for an evaluation.
Hi,
Not all all! Some of my patients are in their 60s and they do the invisible braces! Find a good dentist who has experience in ortho.

it is not too late to straighten your teeth as long as your periodontal health is maintained and able to support ortho treatment.
It is almost never too late to straighten your teeth. An orthodontist is a dentist who specializes in tooth straightening. They usually offer free consultations so it will only cost you some time to find out what your options are.
