One of the most popular and discreet methods for achieving perfectly straight teeth is Invisalign<\/a>. By wearing clear aligners instead of metal braces, you\u2019ll be able to quickly and more comfortably create a uniform smile that you can show off throughout your treatment. That said, you might consider doing some research about the process before jumping on board. Read on to learn five things you should know before starting Invisalign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: You\u2019ll Need to Brush & Rinse Often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Without clear aligners, you should brush your pearly whites two times a day. During your treatment process, you\u2019ll need to clean both your teeth and your Invisalign trays after every meal or snack. This will prevent food particles and plaque from accumulating and getting stuck between your smile and aligners. The last thing you\u2019d want is to risk dental decay that\u2019ll setback your progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: The Recommended Wear Time Is 22 Hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign aligners are completely removable, meaning you can enjoy all your favorite meals throughout the process. However, you\u2019ll need to wear them for about 22 hours a day, only leaving room for removing them before eating and brushing your teeth. Since your smile will only move gradually with constant pressure, you must wear them as long as possible throughout the day to meet your treatment timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: You\u2019ll Have to Avoid Rinsing with Hot Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While hot water can help clean surfaces and remove debris, it can be quite detrimental to your Invisalign trays. Clear aligners are constructed out of heat-sensitive dental plastic. If you rinse them with hot water, you can end up warping them and causing them to be ineffective. Make sure to only use cold or lukewarm water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: You Might Require Attachments for Your Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some patients may have more complex bite misalignment issues. If this applies to you, then you might expect to need attachments or \u201cbuttons\u201d bonded to your teeth. These will give your aligners the extra grip to maneuver your bite into a more ideal position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: \u201cRefinement Aligners\u201d May Be Necessary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you\u2019ve completed your orthodontic treatment, some patients will need extra \u201crefinement aligners\u201d that can help shift certain pearly whites that haven\u2019t straightened out entirely. While this may add a few more weeks to your process, this will ensure that you\u2019re 100% satisfied with your result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign clear aligners are one of the most effective orthodontic treatment options, and they can often straighten your smile quicker than traditional braces by several months! Speak with your dentist if you\u2019re interested, and they\u2019ll be glad to determine the best way to correct your bite and ensure you have a stress-free experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
