Invisalign® Care and Other Information

Having great-looking teeth is a dream many people have. Unfortunately, it is not always that easy. You may be maintaining proper oral hygiene but your teeth are misshaped and not as white as you would want. Misshaped teeth can lower the confidence in your smile and even lower your self-esteem. Luckily, there is a way out.

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign are nearly invisible aligners for straightening teeth. They are clear and no wires are used. They are made of plastic. You are supposed to change every two weeks. A dentist gives you enough set to straighten your teeth. You can make the change yourself. You can get clear braces for adults and for kids as well.

Benefits of Invisalign

Traditional braces can still help straighten your teeth but Invisalign has some added advantages. Yes, they might be more expensive but they are worth it. Some of the advantages include:

Comfort

Invisalign Clear Braces are way more comfortable compared to the traditional braces. There are no wires and brackets that cause discomfort with the traditional braces. They are also smooth and don’t irritate your mouth. They are like a mouth guard that doesn’t have sharp edges.

Attractive

Invisalign doesn’t leave your mouth with metal. No one will even know you are braces. They are invisible and you can smile at any time you want. There is nothing to feel shy about.

Convenient

Invisalign is not new anymore, you can find a dentist for these braces anywhere. If you are looking for Invisalign braces in Brampton, you can get them here. They are also easy to use and most dentists can guide you with that.

Removable

One thing that makes the traditional braces so boring is that they are not removable. With Invisalign, you can remove and put them back at any time you want. This way, you can be sure to eat the food of choice as long as you maintain proper dental health. The risk of gum disease is much lower.

Minimal Maintenance

These invisible aligners require minimum maintenance. It is more of the same as taking care of your teeth. Any stains can be removed with a toothbrush and dental floss. You can always dip your toothbrush in a bleaching agent and use it if the stains are tough. Don’t do that much often though.

Saves Time

You don’t need to be visiting a dentist week in, week out. Invisalign is only maintained on average of six weeks in an orthodontist office. Other teeth straightening options require more attention.

Cost of Invisalign

Providing the exact price for Invisalign is just impossible. There are many factors that come into consideration before a dentist gives you the cost. You can visit Rosedale Dental Care and after a checkup, we will provide you with the exact cost.

Taking Care of Invisalign

Proper upkeep of your Invisalign dictates how long they will last. It is not a complicated process but doing some things may shorten their lifetime. Here is what you should do and what you should not when using Invisalign.

Dos

Ensure to rinse your aligners every time you remove them. Plaque and dry saliva on the braces encourage bacteria that cause bad breath.

Sanitize your clear braces. You can use Denture cleaner or the Invisalign cleaning crystals.

Brush and floss your teeth every time before putting back the aligners. Failure to that, food particles will be trapped and this increases the risk of tooth decay and worse.

Sometimes use clear antibacterial soap to clean the Invisalign. Antibacterial soap is not expensive yet it is very effective.

Be gentle while brushing your invisible aligners. If you are very vigorous, you might end up scratching the Invisalign.

Don’ts

Don’t eat or drink anything if are wearing the braces. Most foods and drinks can stain and discolor your aligners.

Don’t use colored soap to clean the Invisalign. Ensure that you always use clear antibacterial soap to clean. Colored soap can cause shades on the Invisalign.

Don’t leave your aligners unprotected while eating. You don’t want to lose them, do you? Also, it exposes them to bacteria and other harmful agents.
