Tips for Keeping Invisalign Treatment on Track
May 31, 2023 2:55 amGetting started with Invisalign® treatment is exciting! While Invisalign offers many benefits, it does require some discipline to ensure success. Dr. Stradling and our Cactus Point Dental team wants patients to achieve their long-awaited results in a timely fashion so we’re sharing some tips for keeping your Invisalign treatment on track!
- Wear Your Aligners
- Keep Your Aligners Clean
- Protect Your Aligners
- Brush & Floss Every Day
- Maintain Regular Checkups
To get the best results, you must wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours every day. This means only removing them for eating, brushing, and flossing. Consistency is key! If you need them, set reminders on your phone to put your aligners back in.
Bacteria can build up on your aligners if they are not cleaned regularly. Gently brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild dish soap and rinse them with water before putting them back in your mouth.
Always protect your aligners when you take them out so you don’t lose them. However, we understand that accidents happen. If you misplace or damage an aligner, let us know as soon as possible.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is vital during your Invisalign treatment. Brush and floss your teeth in the morning, after eating, and at night to prevent plaque buildup in your mouth and aligners, which will help you maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Regular dental cleanings and orthodontic checkups are crucial to make sure your teeth are healthy and that your treatment is progressing.
