Invisible aligners are considered to be an advanced effective solution to treat misaligned teeth. Straightening teeth might have several health benefits in addition to the cosmetic benefits. If your teeth are better aligned, then it is not only easy to keep them clean but also with appropriate spacing, the bone around your teeth can be maintained well. Everyone wishes to have a beautiful straight smile.
Treat aligners like teeth
It is essential to brush teeth daily, morning, and night. We do this to clean debris and bacteria from our mouth. Like your teeth, the aligners can also accumulate tiny food particles and bacteria throughout the day. While brushing your teeth in the morning and at night, you should give your aligners a gentle rub-down. For this purpose, you can also use a soft-bristled toothbrush, but you also need to make sure that you just apply very light pressure. If you brush your aligners too hard, it could scratch them, which can make them look dull.
Take a moment after meals
It would be beneficial if you brush after every meal, but it’s not possible. You may not want to carry your toothbrush all over for every lunch meeting or dinner date, but you still need to care for your aligners. It would be better if you run them under cold water before inserting them after your meal. This may help in reducing bacteria and also help the trays to slide in easily.
Exciting features about Invisalign
Some exciting features of Invisalign are as follows:
- The aligners are custom-fabricated according to the patient’s requirements and would offer a perfect fit.
- The aligners would be designed in such a way that they would compensate for the growth of molars and premolars.
- The aligners would have wear indicators so that we can monitor their wear.
- Blue indicators are present on the walls of the teen aligners, which would fade off with regular usage. Parents can check them to keep track of their child using the aligners regularly.
- Invisalign offers a whole new way to get perfectly straightened teeth at an affordable price. Moreover, it is very safe and less painful compared to its alternatives.
