How To Have A Smooth Invisalign Experience

Invisible aligners made by Invisalign are a great solution for individuals who would like straight teeth but do not like the appearance or feel of traditional bracketed braces. If you are considering Invisalign braces from your orthodontist, check out the tips below for ensuring a smooth experience:

Practice Good Dental Hygiene

Cleaning your teeth properly is always important, but patients undergoing Invisalign treatment must be extra vigilant about their dental hygiene. Because Invisalign’s trays cover all of the surfaces of the teeth, it is easier for sugar to remain on the teeth for long periods of time. Make sure that you floss your teeth each night and continue to brush your teeth at least twice each day. In addition, you should clean your Invisalign trays twice a day using an Invisalign cleaning kit or by brushing the aligners with your toothbrush and lukewarm water.

Remove Trays When Necessary

One of the benefits that Invisalign provides is that they are removable. It is important to remove your Invisalign trays before you eat to help keep the trays clean, avoid getting food stuck between the aligners and your teeth, and to reduce the wear on your trays. You may also want to remove the trays when drinking anything other than water to keep sugar from gathering inside them. Be sure to promptly put the aligners back into place when you are finished eating or drinking.

Follow Your Orthodontist’s Instructions

Another advantage of Invisalign braces over other orthodontic treatments is that they require fewer visits to your orthodontist. It is important, however, that you carefully follow your orthodontist’s instructions. Make sure that you change your trays at the appropriate times and that you contact your orthodontist right away if you encounter any problems, such as an aligner breaking.

SureSmile Technology (The Doctors) - Take Braces Off Sooner

Orthodontic treatment can provide patients with a beautiful smile and improved oral health. Traditional treatment with braces often takes two years or more. However, new technology is allowing orthodontic treatment to be completed in under a year.

This video features a discussion of SureSmile, a device that allows orthodontists to align teeth precisely in the correct positions in about half the time of traditional treatment. The software program that is used for this precise positioning and the removal of one patient’s braces are shown during the clip.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatments

If you are concerned about the alignment of your teeth or your child’s teeth, you may be curious about orthodontic treatments. At Champion Orthodontics, we provide orthodontic alignment to fix a number of conditions and provide several treatment options. Here are a few of the benefits that orthodontic treatment can provide to patients of all ages:

1. Cleaner Teeth: Teeth that are not aligned correctly often overlap each other. It is easy for sugar and plaque to gather in the tight areas between overlapping teeth, as they are difficult to clean through brushing and flossing. This can make it easier for cavities to form on your teeth. Having your teeth properly aligned through orthodontic treatment will ensure that they do not overlap, making it easier to keep them clean.
    
2. Improved Oral Health: Crooked and crowded teeth can lead to oral health problems beyond the development of cavities. Gum disease, or gingivitis, can also result from having crowded teeth that are difficult to keep clean. This can ultimately lead to tooth decay, tooth loss, and damage to the jawbone. Crowded teeth can also cause uneven wear to the enamel that protects teeth, another factor that can lead to tooth decay and oral health problems. Misaligned bites, which can often cause jaw problems or make chewing difficult, can also be corrected through orthodontic treatment.
3. Greater Confidence: Many individuals are embarrassed by the appearance of their smiles when they have crooked teeth. Having teeth that are incorrectly aligned may also make speaking clearly more difficult, another factor that can decrease confidence. Orthodontic treatment can provide you or your child with beautiful teeth that will instill confidence when smiling and speaking.
