Do you hope to improve your smile? Are you currently looking for relief from the symptoms that are commonly associated with TMJ disorders, like tension headaches and fatigue with your facial muscles? In either case, Invisalign treatment may be right for you. Many people prefer Invisalign over traditional braces since it allows them to achieve their best smile in a very discreet manner. Invisalign treatment also does not force patients to make serious lifestyle changes, like avoiding specific foods throughout the time they are undergoing treatment. Once you choose Invisalign instead of metal braces, you won’t have to visit your orthodontist, which saves you time. Read on to learn more!
Wear Your Invisalign as Your Orthodontist Recommends
During your initial Invisalign consultation, we’ll take 3D images of your mouth. These images will be used to create a custom Invisalign treatment plan. Each treatment plan is customized, which means yours might differ greatly from somebody else’s plan if you have similar issues. Because each treatment plan is customized, you can not depend on another patient for information about how often you wear your Invisalign clear aligners. Instead, you have to follow the recommends we provide. Most patients wear aligners for at least 20 hours a day, although 22 hours is ideal.
Clean the Invisalign Aligners Frequently
One of the top reasons people choose Invisalign is that aligners used during treatment are usually clear and difficult for others to see. To keep them “invisible,” you must clean them regularly. Instead, you have to clean the Invisalign clear aligners the right way. While you can clean your aligners using clear dentures, it is wise to use the cleaning solution created by the Invisalign brand. You can purchase packets of this solution when you visit Catonsville Dental Care.
Pick a Partner, Not a Provider
Although you could start to see modest results in a few weeks, the average Invislaign treatment lasts anywhere between 12 and 18 months. During the length of your treatment, you will have to take a visit to your Invisalign orthodontist or dentist around every six weeks. Since you will see your orthodontist at regular intervals throughout the treatment, it is important that you pick a doctor who works with you to achieve the best results you’re hoping for.
