Do You Know The Benefits Of Invisalign?

Invisalign aligners are clear and can be used to straighten teeth without brackets or wires. It is a great choice for teens and adults because of its many benefits.

No Food Restrictions

Invisalign’s removable aligner trays allow you to eat anything you want. This allows you to dine out and indulge in social meals without having to worry about food restrictions or avoiding hard or crunchy foods that could interfere with the teeth straightening process. When wearing Invisalign, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene. To prevent bacteria buildup, it is essential to brush and floss your teeth after every meal and before putting back your aligners. This will help you maintain healthy teeth and gums while undergoing Invisalign, and achieve the treatment results you want.

Foods that are sticky or chewy, like gum or caramels, can stick to your teeth and cause them to be pulled and tugged, possibly damaging or breaking your aligners. This can also cause discomfort or lead to misalignment in your teeth, delaying your Invisalign treatment plan.

You can damage your teeth by eating crunchy foods such as granola bar, jawbreakers and crisps. They can cause chips, fractures, and misalignment of your teeth. This will require additional dental work and may affect your Invisalign treatment.

Acidic foods, such as citrus fruit and sodas, will weaken the enamel of your teeth over time. This can make your teeth more prone to cavities and staining while you wear your Invisalign aligners.

Sticky, sweet foods can also leave small particles that feed bacteria on your gums and teeth. This can lead odor-causing bad breathe and increase the risk for gum disease and tooth cavity.

Red wine, tobacco, coffee and other oral substances, in particular, can stain your teeth as well as Invisalign trays. They can discolour your teeth because they contain chromogens that quickly transform into pigments. Smoke from tobacco and cannabis is particularly effective in discolouring teeth because it contains chromogens. This type is called extrinsic and occurs when pigments enter the enamel layer.

Comfortable

Invisalign is more comfortable than traditional metal braces. The smooth plastic won’t irritate or snag your teeth like sharp metal wires. It is also less noticeable, so you will not feel self-conscious when wearing them. It’s normal for you to feel some discomfort while you adjust to them. This is due to the pressure from the aligners shifting the teeth. Your orthodontist will likely recommend taking a mild narcotic to manage the initial discomfort.

Invisalign’s trays can be removed easily for eating, cleaning your teeth and special occasions. It is easier to maintain good dental hygiene. It’s important to replace the trays as soon as you can to avoid food getting stuck. A top Invisalign provider will provide you with specific instructions for caring for your trays. You should clean your trays at least twice daily and after every meal.

You should also avoid wearing them for long periods. Doing so can actually increase the amount of discomfort you experience while wearing them. If you experience discomfort while wearing the aligners, take a moment to chew or brush before putting them back in. This will reduce the pressure on your teeth and the gums. You should feel the pain subside within minutes.

You can also apply orthodontic wax directly to the areas causing irritation. This can be purchased at most pharmacies or from your orthodontist. This product is widely available and inexpensive. It can protect your gums against the sharp edges of Invisalign trays.

If you have any persistent pain in one particular tooth, it’s best to call your orthodontist right away. It could be a sign that you are applying too much pressure to the teeth with your toothbrush or eating foods that are difficult to chew or swallow. Orthodontists can offer you some tips to alleviate pain, such as avoiding these foods and chewing both sides of the mouth.

Easy To Clean

Unlike traditional braces that can be difficult to clean around the edges of the brackets, Invisalign is easy to keep clear and bacteria-free. You should brush them gently and rinse them with warm water each night. Brushing helps remove any food particles or debris that might be clinging to the trays, and also gets rid of any bad breath caused by bacterial buildup. You can also soak your aligners or denture cleaner in distilled vinegar to make them extra clean.

When cleaning your Invisalign trays, avoid using products that contain harsh chemicals and abrasives. These can damage the plastic material and leave behind marks or cracks, and may even cause them to break. A clear, lightly-scented hand soap is the best choice for cleaning your trays. Avoid soaps that contain dyes or strong fragrances, as these could stain trays.

While toothpaste may seem like the natural choice for cleaning your teeth, it can scratch the surface of your Invisalign trays and leave behind a sticky residue that can attract dirt and bacteria. It’s important to avoid using a brush with hard bristles, as they can cause the trays warp or discolor.

You can buy clear, flavored toothpaste made specifically for your Invisalign trays, or make your own cleaner using baking soda and vinegar. Baking soda can be used to remove odors, and help remove stains. Vinegar is rich in acetic acid which can dissolve certain types of plaques and food particles. You can also clean aligners by soaking in a solution made of equal parts hydrogen-peroxide and warm water for 15 minutes, before thoroughly rinsing.

Invisalign sells a product called Sterialigner, which comes with a tray to soak your aligners. It contains rubbing alcohol as well as sodium bicarbonate which is a natural antibiotic. To clean your aligners with this product, just place them in the tray and leave them there for three minutes before rinsing them off. A cleaning kit is also useful to take on trips and when you are away.

Invisible

The Invisalign invisible aligners are a sleek, smooth plastic material that is comfortable and won’t irritate your gums and soft tissues inside the mouth. They are made to comfortably fit over your mouth and can easily be removed before meals. Clear aligners may stain or discolor if you expose them to certain foods or beverages (such as red wines) or if they’re not taken care of properly.

If you notice any stains on your aligners, clean them thoroughly using lukewarm lukewarm before re-inserting. Also, be sure to rinse your mouth after each meal, as well as before and after brushing your teeth, to remove bacteria that can cause bad breath. Invisalign trays can also accumulate food particles and smelly residue if you don’t properly clean them, but they are easy to clean with warm water or dental cleaning tablets.

Invisalign can transform your smile with its discreet orthodontic treatment. We will determine during your consultation if you’re a candidate for Invisalign and, if so we will give you a detailed treatment schedule.

During your initial visit, we’ll take a digital scan of your teeth and bite using a special scanner that is designed specifically for Invisalign. This allows us to zoom in, expand, and manipulate the images, ensuring that we are developing a thorough and accurate treatment plan.

We will then use your digital scan results to create a customized set of Invisalign transparent aligners. These aligners are meant to gradually shift your teeth in their new positions over the course treatment. This can last between 9 and 18 month depending on how diligently they are worn.

You can even view what your results will look like with the Invisalign Outcome Simulator, which is a great tool for patients who are unsure whether Invisalign is right for them. Invisalign is not effective if you don’t wear the aligners the recommended 22 hours per day. So, you must follow your dentist’s instructions during your treatment.
