The Most Important Things You Can Do During Orthodontic Treatment

We’ll break it down even further. Embrace these concepts to see your teeth looking, feeling, and functioning just as you wanted them to after Invisalign:

• ABC: Always Be Cleaning! – Of course, you don’t literally need to be always brushing and flossing your teeth. But your oral hygiene will need to step it up a notch while you’re in your aligners. This is because food particles and bacteria can become trapped between your teeth and trays, leading to decay. Carry a travel toothbrush & floss, and rinse with water if you’re unable to brush.
• Your aligners belong in your mouth – The less time your aligners spend outside your mouth, the better. Not only do you then have a lower risk of losing them, but they’ll be straightening full-time, keeping your progress on schedule.
• Don’t skip appointments – If you miss one of your Invisalign appointments, it could take a little time to reschedule – leading to too much time being spent in the same aligners, and a slowed treatment plan. If you think that a future appointment might be tough to make, contact us right away to reschedule.
