See What Your Smile Could Look Like In Seconds - Know Us More

Invisalign is a great way to straighten your teeth- no braces required! And while Invisalign is simple to use, there are a few things that patients can do to make their treatment even easier. Below, we’ll share 5 Invisalign tips and tricks for patients.

1- Take Time to Adjust

Generally speaking, clear aligners are very subtle tools. Of course, that is the point of them! But that doesn’t mean they are always so discreet. When you first get your Invisalign, it can be awkward to talk or even smile. Take time to adjust to the devices and practice talking with them in place. This will help them become less noticeable.

2- Stick To The Schedule

Your orthodontist will give you a clear schedule for changing your aligners. You might be tempted to skip days with your aligners or change them at your own pace. However, it’s important to stick to your ortho’s plan. This will ensure that your treatment works properly.

3- Don’t Toss Your Old Aligner

During treatment, you will go through many aligners. After you switch to a new tray, be sure to keep the old one on standby. If you lose your current aligner, then you can use the old one while you wait for a replacement.

4- Keep Things Clean

This tip sounds obvious, but we’re mentioning it because it is so important! Brush and floss regularly, and also perform the proper care on your aligner trays. This will prevent surface stains and discomfort. Plus, it’s just a good hygiene practice.

5- Speak Up If There Are Issues

Sometimes, aligner trays can pinch or dig into the gums. If you have this problem, then talk to your dentist or ortho. They can help to readjust your device so that it fits better. It’s an important fix to make, so don’t be afraid to mention any problems.
