Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that has benefited millions with a picture-perfect smile. Most people prefer clear aligners to straighten their teeth because they’re less painful and less intrusive than braces. At the same time, you have to do your part to achieve the results you desire.
If you’re considering Invisalign in Miami, Florida, to improve your smile, Dr. Sylvan Fain from Fain Dental Arts offers the following tips to help you get the best outcome from your treatment.
Establish a routine for your treatment from day one and follow it consistently! Your routine should include the removal ofaligners for meals, snacks, oral hygiene, and aligner care so you can keep better track of aligner use.
Proper aligner use is vital to getting quality results from Invisalign. The aligners should be on your teeth 20 to 22 hours a day – with few, if any, exceptions! When switching to new aligners, try to keep them on even longer for the first 48 hours to give your teeth a good head start in each new phase of your treatment.
Invisalign isn’t a haphazard procedure. Dr. Fain will carefully plan your procedure, calculating the movements of your teeth with great accuracy and precision. For optimal results, stick to your treatment plan! Stay on schedule for changing aligners on time and in the order designated in your plan. This ensures your teeth move properly toward their final destination at a good pace.
The last thing you need is decay or gum disease delaying your treatment! Brushing and flossing after every meal help keep plaque buildup to a minimum, reducing your risk of cavities. Good oral practices contribute to a strong, healthy smile during and after your procedure.
Your aligners are your ticket to a picture-perfect smile! So, care for them diligently! Rinse them in warm water every time they’re removed. At least once daily, brush off food and debris using a soft toothbrush and mild, liquid soap. Always store the aligners safely in their case when not in use.
Dr. Fain will schedule dental appointments as needed to keep track of your progress and the health of your teeth. It’s important you not miss these dental visits! These checkups give our team a chance to spot problems early and fix them quickly to avoid delays in your treatment.
Yes, Invisalign requires retainer use when your treatment is complete. This final retainer will be worn mostly at night to keep your smile aligned indefinitely. Failure to comply with this aspect of Invisalign can undermine your entire treatment.
