Who Can Get Invisalign? Complete Eligibility Guide
Who can actually get Invisalign? This question deserves a precise and complete answer.
The reality: 9 out of 10 patients are eligible, regardless of their age or case complexity. Even orthodontic situations that seem difficult often find a solution with this technology.
This detailed guide gives you all the keys to know if Invisalign is suitable for your situation.
Revolutionary Invisalign: 3 game-changing advantages
Invisalign consists of custom-made transparent aligners that gradually straighten your teeth.
Unlike traditional braces:
- 100% discreet: no one can see you’re wearing an appliance
- Removable: you take out the trays to eat and brush your teeth
- Comfortable: no irritating metal, just smooth plastic
At HymySmile, our Diamond Provider status allows us to treat even the most complex cases with this technology.
Adults: why it's NEVER too late for a perfect smile
The real reason why 70% of adults choose Invisalign
Are you 25, 35, or 55 years old? No problem. Age is not a barrier.
Adults represent 70% of our Invisalign patients. Their motivations:
- Professional discretion: no impact on their workplace image
- Late correction: straightening a smile that has been bothering them for years
- Post-orthodontic relapse: correcting teeth that moved after a first treatment
Typical profiles of our adult patients
In our practice, we regularly see:
- Client-facing professionals: lawyers, salespeople, teachers who cannot afford to have visible braces
- Adults with orthodontic relapse: their teeth moved 10-20 years after a first braces treatment
- New parents: they want to correct their smile before important family photos
Teens: finally braces they WANT to wear
4 reasons why teens prefer Invisalign over braces
Teenagers are naturally active and social. Invisalign adapts to their lifestyle:
- Sports without constraints: no risk of injury with metal
- Free eating: they eat what they want, when they want
- Self-confidence: natural smile preserved during treatment
- Compliance indicators: blue dots that fade to check they’re wearing their aligners properly
What age can you start?
From 12-13 years old, when permanent teeth have erupted. Our Diamond expertise allows us to precisely evaluate the right time for each child.
REVELATION: these 4 dental problems are easily corrected with Invisalign
95% of cases are treatable: here's the proof
Our experience of over 1000 treated cases has shown us that Invisalign effectively corrects:
Dental crowding
- Teeth overlapping due to lack of space
- Average duration: 12-18 months
Gaps between teeth (diastemas)
- Unsightly spaces between teeth
- Average duration: 6-12 months for simple cases
Overbite (upper teeth covering lower teeth too much)
- Progressive and precise correction
- Average duration: 18-24 months
Dental malposition
- Rotated or misaligned teeth
- Visible results from the first months
The only 3 cases where Invisalign doesn't work
Invisalign is not suitable for:
- Very significant dental rotations (more than 45°)
- Certain complex extractions
- Surgical cases requiring jaw intervention
But be careful: our Diamond Provider status gives us access to the most advanced techniques. Cases deemed “impossible” elsewhere are often treatable in our practice.

22 hours minimum per day. You only remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush your teeth.
Don’t panic. Contact us immediately. Depending on your progress, you move to the next one or we order a replacement (1-week delay).
Slight discomfort the first 2-3 days of each new aligner. Much less painful than traditional braces.
