8 Tips For Getting The Best Invisalign Results

INTRODUCTION
Invisalign has surged in popularity as an
alternative to traditional metal braces. But to
get the best results, patients must commit to
following treatment guidelines. Heres the deal
Invisalign works if you wear a series of
custom-made clear aligner tray that gently move
your teeth into place over time. Basically, you
switch to a new aligner set every 1-2 weeks to
slowly shift your teeth into the proper position
bit by bit. Tracking your wear time daily and
being diligent about putting new aligners in on
schedule is so important. If you dont, your
teeth wont adjust as planned. Going to your
scheduled dental check-ups makes sure the
aligners still fit well as treatment progresses.

Best Tips For Getting The Best Results
Really committing fully to the Invisalign program
is the key to getting that perfect smile by your
estimated finish date. When you dedicate
yourself to wearing your aligners as directed
and attending all visits, youll love your
results! Here are some tips to get the best
results Wear Your Aligners As Directed To move
your teeth effectively, you need to wear the
aligners for 20-22 hours per day. Only remove
them for eating, drinking anything other than
water, and brushing your teeth. Having aligners
out for too long each day delays your treatment
progress. Be diligent about wearing them as
prescribed each day to keep teeth shifting on
track.

Always put your aligners back in as soon as
possible after removing them for meals. Wearing
them consistently is the only way to achieve the
gradual tooth movements needed. Practice Proper
Oral Hygiene
Keeping your teeth and gums healthy is really
important when youve got Invisalign aligners. So
brushing and flossing every time after you eat
is important. This will help avoid getting chunks
of food stuck under the aligners or trapped
between your teeth, which can totally lead to
cavities. Be sure to take good care of your
aligners to get rid of bacteria and gunk. Just
dont use toothpaste or harsh chemicals since
they can scratch up the aligners over time.

It may feel like you have to do a lot, but trust
me, making excellent oral hygiene a habit now
will help you end up with a sparkling, healthy
smile when treatment is all done! Follow Your
Treatment Plan Precisely
Be sure to change aligners according to the
exact schedule provided by your orthodontist.
Wear each set for the recommended number of
weeks before switching to the next. Moving too
quickly between aligners by not wearing sets for
the prescribed time can impair results.
Attending all scheduled appointments for
adjustments and progress checks is equally
important. These visits ensure the fit is still
correct as your teeth shift. Dont skip any
visits or risk your aligners not fitting right,
which can negatively impact your progress.

Use Invisalign Cleaning Crystals
The best and safest way to thoroughly clean
aligners is with official Invisalign cleaning
crystals. Just dissolve one tablet in water and
soak aligners for 15 minutes to remove bacteria
and buildup. The crystals are specially
formulated to sanitize aligners and remove
deposits without damaging the plastic like
abrasive toothpaste or harsh chemicals. Avoid
using anything but the recommended crystals to
keep your aligners in great shape. Avoid
Eating/Drinking With Aligners In Always remember
to remove aligners before eating or drinking
anything other than water. Consuming food and
beverages while wearing aligners can lead
to staining, warping, or other damage over time.

Coffee, tea, juice, soda, and other acidic or
sugary drinks are especially problematic as they
erode tooth enamel.
This effect is worsened under aligners.
Plus, anything besides water can leave residue
behind, so taking aligners out is a must for
proper oral health. Use Chewies To Improve
Fit Chewies are soft plastic tools specially
designed to help seat aligners more snugly
against your teeth. Take 5-10 minutes when
inserting new aligners to chew the Chewie tool.
This action will improve the fit by sealing the
aligner close to your teeth. A properly contoured
fit is important because it enhances how
effectively the aligner can incrementally move
your teeth. Be sure to use Chewies regularly
with each new set for the best results.

Protect Your Aligners
When not wearing aligners, be sure to store them
in a protective case to prevent loss or damage.
Some cases also have UV light sanitization
functions which can help keep aligners clean
between uses. Dont leave aligners loose where
they could be thrown away or crushed. Also avoid
leaving aligners in hot places like cars on hot
days, as the heat can warp the plastic trays so
they wont fit right when you put them back in.
Treat them carefully to ensure you always have a
well-fitting set ready for wear.
Be Patient and Consistent
Remember that teeth movement takes time, so be
patient through the Invisalign process. Trust
that each new set of aligners is continuing to
bring you closer to your goal smile. Just stick
with it, following all aligner wear and
appointment instructions consistently.
