Wear the Invisalign Aligners as Much as You Can
Keep your Invisalign aligners in for around 22 hours each day. We suggest you refrain from taking them out unless you need to brush your teeth, drink, or eat. The longer you wear them, the quicker the treatment is.
You Might Have a Lisp with Invisalign
Invisalign can actually affect your speech at the start of treatment. There is nothing you can do to prevent it, as it is a natural reaction to the plastic aligners. Don’t be tempted to remove them to speak; keep them in since practice makes perfect. It will not last but a few days until your speech starts to adjust.
Treatment Times with Vary
Invisalign treatment plans depend according on how much work you require. If your teeth are slightly misaligned, it could take less than a few months. Likewise, if you’ve got an open bite or mild to moderate malocclusion, it could last longer. We will examine your teeth to let you know how long the treatment lasts.
Results Are Quicker Than Metal Braces
It takes little time to see results while wearing Invisalign. A lot of people only take nine to 18 months to finish treatment compared to braces, which typically take around 22 months.
Dental Hygiene is Crucial
Brushing and flossing after you eat is more important than ever. Invisalign covers and seals in whatever you eat, trapping bacteria. You do not want to have sugar or debris stuck in your teeth for hours. Remember to always brush, floss, and rinse out your mouth thoroughly after drinking and eating to reduce the buildup of bacteria.
Brushing Aligners
Look after your aligners just as you look after your teeth. Clean them every day to remove buildup and discoloration by gently brushing the trays with a more soft toothbrush.
