Invisalign Align Technology in Liverpool
Congratulations, you have finally decided to make the jump and invest in yourself with orthodontic treatment. The next decision is to find what treatment option is best for you. These days you do not have to settle for traditional metal braces. There’s a new solution — Invisalign Clear Aligners in Liverpool, NY.
Invisalign works like traditional braces to help straighten your teeth. The system uses a series of almost invisible clear plastic aligners. You benefit from straightening the mild to moderate crowding and spacing problems with your teeth without wearing traditional brackets and wires.
You should know a few things before starting your treatment:
#1 – Wear Your Aligners
Wear your aligners for at least 22 hours every day. Drs. Raineri and DiCosimo suggest you refrain from taking them out unless you have to brush your teeth, eat, or drink. The longer the wear time, the quicker your treatment will be, and the sooner you’ll have a smile you’re proud of.
#2 – A Bit of a Lisp
Wearing aligners can affect your speech at the beginning of treatment. Don’t be tempted to remove them while talking because practice makes perfect. It’s just a natural reaction to the plastic aligners, and your speech will adjust in a few days.
#3 – Treatment Time Varies
Treatment plans vary according to how much work needs to be done. If your teeth are slightly misaligned, it might last less than a few months. Your dentists in Liverpool will examine your teeth and tell you how long treatment should last.
#4 – Results Are Faster
It doesn’t take long to see results while wearing the aligners. Most people may only take 9 to 18 months to complete treatment compared to braces, which usually take 22 months.
#5 – Oral Hygiene!!!
Brushing and flossing after eating are more important now than ever. The aligners cover and seal in whatever you just ate. It is not a good idea to have sugars, and other debris stuck to your teeth for hours on end. Always brush and rinse your mouth thoroughly after eating and drinking to reduce dangerous bacteria.
#6 – Brush Your Aligners Too
Look after your aligners just as you look after your teeth. Clean them daily to remove any buildup and discoloration by gently brushing the trays with a soft toothbrush and warm water.
#7 – Remove Aligners Before Eating and Drinking
The aligners cannot withstand the pressure of biting down. Please remove them before eating to avoid breaking and interrupting your treatment.
Drinking sugary or acidic liquids with Invisalign aligners in your mouth without rinsing can lead to cavities or erosion of your tooth enamel. So please stick to drinking water!
#8 – There’s No Age Limit For Invisalign Braces
With this advanced transparent aligner system, all ages can enjoy the benefits of straighter teeth. More and more adults today are choosing invisible aligners.
#9 – Retainer
The work doesn’t stop when Invisalign treatment is over. You’ll also need a retainer to wear at night to keep your teeth from shifting back to their previous positions.
