Invisalign is redefining what orthodontic treatment can look like—comfortable, discreet, and designed to fit your lifestyle. At Northern Virginia Orthodontics, we’ve successfully treated patients as young as 6 and well into their 80s using Invisalign. Its removable aligners make brushing and flossing easier, eliminate food restrictions, and reduce the need for emergency appointments caused by broken brackets or poking wires. Whether you’re a busy parent, a working professional, or looking for a more manageable option for your child, Invisalign at NVO offers a flexible, effective solution for nearly every age and stage of life.
5 Key Takeaways:
Improved Oral Hygiene
Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier to brush and floss compared to braces, which can trap plaque and cause white spots.
No Food Restrictions
Because the aligners come out during meals, patients can enjoy all their favorite foods without worrying about damaging brackets.
No Emergency Appointments
Invisalign doesn’t involve brackets or wires that can break or poke, leading to fewer unscheduled visits to the orthodontist.
Comfort for All Ages
The gentle, controlled movement of aligners makes Invisalign ideal for patients with sensitive gums or bone concerns, including many adults.
Highly Versatile Treatment
Compliance is key, but with consistent wear, Invisalign can treat nearly all orthodontic cases—even ones that previously required braces.
“We treat patients from age 6 to 80 with Invisalign—it’s that versatile and effective.”

Why More Patients Are Choosing Invisalign at NVO
Invisalign has completely transformed the way we approach orthodontic care. At Northern Virginia Orthodontics, we’ve helped thousands of patients—from young children to older adults—experience the benefits of this clear aligner system. Comfortable, removable, and virtually invisible, Invisalign offers a lifestyle-friendly alternative to traditional braces without compromising results. Whether you’re just starting your orthodontic journey or revisiting it later in life, Invisalign could be the perfect fit.
Comfortable, Custom, and Easy to Maintain
One of the standout features of Invisalign is how easy it is to integrate into your daily routine. The custom-made aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth, applying gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move them into place. Unlike braces, there are no metal wires or brackets to irritate your cheeks or gums. And since the aligners are removable, patients can brush and floss normally—no complicated cleaning tools needed.
For adults and teens with busy schedules, this convenience is a game-changer. There’s no need to avoid your favorite foods or worry about flossing around wires. You simply remove the aligners to eat, clean your teeth, and pop them back in.
Fewer Restrictions and Emergency Visits
Braces often come with a long list of food restrictions and a higher risk of urgent visits. Biting into something too crunchy or sticky can damage brackets or dislodge wires, requiring an unscheduled trip to the orthodontist. With Invisalign, those worries disappear. You can eat what you love, when you want—without fear of setbacks.
Emergency visits are rare with Invisalign. There are no brackets to break or wires to poke, and if an attachment does come off, it can typically wait until your next scheduled visit. This makes Invisalign especially appealing for students, working professionals, and families who are always on the go.
Designed for Every Age and Lifestyle
At NVO, we’ve successfully treated patients as young as 6 and as old as 80 using Invisalign. It’s not just for teens or adults looking for a discreet option—Invisalign First is specifically designed for growing smiles, making it a safe and effective choice for children, too.
Older patients with periodontal concerns often find Invisalign to be a gentler alternative to braces. Because we can control the movement of individual teeth more precisely, we’re able to tailor treatment around the health of the gums and bone. This level of customization allows us to treat more complex cases—without the discomfort or hygiene challenges of traditional braces.
