If you’ve been considering Invisalign to straighten your teeth but are not sure if it’s the right treatment for you, here are some insider secrets that might provide just the information you need to help you take the first step.
You may not be able to eat tacos the first day you have your aligners, but the process is a breeze compared to metal braces.
No worries about stabbing anyone or getting stuck together when kissing with Invisalign. But if you’re the least bit self-conscious, you can take them out before you get going.
For best results, it’s recommended that you wear them 20-22 hours a day. But unlike metal braces, you can remove them to brush, floss, and eat your daily meals.
They’re called invisible braces for a reason, and it’s true, they practically are. At first, you may notice that you have a little trouble talking, but that improves over time.
Invisalign trays can stain and become murky if you don’t clean them properly. So, to keep your invisible braces invisible, wash them with a mild detergent or soap.
Consider it a desirable side effect in most cases. When wearing Invisalign, you must brush your teeth after every meal. Even when armed with a travel toothbrush and toothpaste, it might not always seem worth it to remove your trays and brush your teeth just for a sugary snack.
Invisalign treatment solves most orthodontic issues, such as crooked teeth, gaps, and minor over- or under-bites. If you have more severe problems, you may achieve better results with traditional metal braces or other solutions. Regardless of your specific complaint, you should consult your dentist to see if Invisalign is right for you.
