It can help you achieve\na healthier, more attractive smile without subjecting you to the hassles of\ntraditional braces. However, in order for you to get the most out of your\nInvisalign treatment, there are some practical steps you should take. The\nfollowing suggestions will help you to make your Invisalign journey as comfortable\nand efficient as possible.<\/p><!--more--><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Your Teeth Clean<\/h2><p>Oral hygiene is always of utmost importance, but it is especially\nso when you are undergoing any type of orthodontic treatment. You should clean\nyour teeth after each meal so you can make sure that there are no food\nparticles cleaning to them when you put your aligners back in your mouth.\nOtherwise, your aligners could trap the leftover food against your teeth and\nput you at an increased risk of dental decay.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Your Aligners Clean<\/h2><p>Keeping your aligners clean will prevent them from\naccumulating harmful and odorous bacteria. It will also stop them from\nincurring unsightly stains that could detract from Invisalign&rsquo;s aesthetic\nbenefits. To keep your aligners clean, you should:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consume nothing but plain water while you are<br>wearing your aligners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rinse your aligners before you insert them in<br>your mouth after meals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clean your aligners daily. You can gently clean<br>them with a soft-bristled toothbrush or purchase a special Invisalign cleaning<br>kit.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wear Your Aligners as Much as Possible<\/h2><p>You should wear your aligners for at least 20 &ndash; 22 hours\neach day &mdash; the more you can wear them, the better. It is especially important\nto wear them as much as possible during the 48 hours after you switch from one\naligner to the next. You might experience a bit of soreness when you put the\nnew aligner in, but keeping it in your mouth will ensure that the discomfort\npasses as quickly as possible.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&rsquo;t Be Afraid of the Attachments<\/h2><p>Your dentist may recommend that you wear attachments with\nyour aligners. These attachments are small button-like devices that are\ndesigned to make your treatment faster and more efficient. They are more visible\nthan the aligners themselves, but you should not let that hold you back from taking\nadvantage of them.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Communicate with Your Dentist<\/h2><p>Your cosmetic dentist in Leesburg doesn&rsquo;t just want to sell\nyou a service. They want you to achieve amazing results from Invisalign that\nimprove your oral health and boost your confidence. That is why you can rely on\nthem to answer all of your questions and address any concerns you have. For example,\nif you accidentally lose an aligner or damage one, help is just a phone call or\nemail away.<\/p><p>Ready for a straighter smile? If you follow the above\nguidelines, you can expect your Invisalign treatment to go smoothly from\nbeginning to end.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2><p>Dr. Jennifer Pham is the leader of our team at Downtown Family Dental of Leesburg.
