Invisalign Success
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that offers an alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. It utilizes a series of clear, custom-made aligners that are virtually invisible when worn. These aligners are designed to apply gentle pressure on the teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position over time. Invisalign treatment is tailored to each individual's specific dental needs and goals. The aligners are removable, allowing for greater flexibility during eating, drinking, and oral hygiene routines. This discreet and comfortable approach to teeth straightening has made Invisalign a popular choice for many individuals seeking to improve their smile without the visibility and constraints of traditional braces.
To ensure a successful Invisalign treatment, consider the following tips:
Wear Your Aligners as Directed - Consistency is key to the success of your Invisalign treatment. You must wear your aligners for the recommended duration each day, typically between 20 to 22 hours. Only remove them while eating, drinking (except water), and brushing your teeth. Slacking on wearing your aligners may prolong the treatment time and compromise the final results. “If it’s not in your face, you’re going to lose the race”
Stay on Schedule with Aligner Changes - Invisalign treatment involves a series of aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. It's crucial to follow the schedule (we provide a customized itinerary in case you forget) provided for switching to the next set of aligners. Adhering to the schedule ensures that your teeth continue to progress as planned, and it helps you achieve your desired results on time.
Use your Munchies Daily - Munchies are small tabs that you bite on to help seat the aligners properly and improve their fit. Our dentists usually provide you with chewies to use regularly. By using them daily, you can ensure that your aligners fit snugly and are applying the right amount of pressure to move your teeth effectively.
While there are many ways to ensure successful treatment, these are the top 3 we see in patients that have the most successful results. Likewise, those who don’t follow these simple instructions will have poor results resulting in longer than expected treatment times. At Harvest Dental Care, our principal dentist, Dr. Osman Anwar, and associates want you to have a positive experience with dental treatment.
