With the advancement of technology, more and more people are choosing the invisible braces for themselves. The traditional braces often associated embarrassment along with them and people, did not like wearing them for smile repairing. However, with the invisible braces, the problem of embarrassment is completely eliminated. People are now able to get the safe results as the traditional metal wired braces imparted.
However, in order to make the most of these braces and to make them perform better in making your smile aligned faster, you need to take proper care of them. Without maintenance and without following the instructions of the orthodontist, you will not be able to get the maximum results.
- Wear them for 22 hours: Although these invisible braces can be taken out, while eating or drinking something or even during brushing, you must wear them back as soon as possible. The braces must be removed only during these tasks and must not be taken lightly and remove them whenever you feel like. Wearing them at least for 22 hours a day is a must for the proper results. You must wear them even when you go to sleep. This is because the teeth shift during your sleep and if the braces are not worn, it can cause setbacks.
- Use chewies: When you wear these braces, you might feel a little pain and be uncomfortable with them. The pain increases when the old set of braces is removed and the new set is put on. But, if you use the chewies, it will remove the air gaps from the braces and help the braces to fit better on your teeth.
- Wear rubber bands, if the dentist recommends: Many dentists for invisalign offer treatments and recommend the patients to wear rubber bands around their teeth. This is a crucial part of the treatment. If the dentist recommends, you must obey him or her. These bands help your smile to get better and also accelerate the process.
- Brush and floss regularly: Brushing and flossing your teeth regularly is as important for you, as is for any other person without the braces. Rather, it is more important for you to make sure that there is no food debris stuck between your teeth gaps. This is because even the slightest of the food debris can occupy space and not let your teeth shift properly. Keep your teeth lean by brushing and flossing.
- Keep the braces clean: Just as the metal wired braces needed cleaning, these invisible braces too need to be cleaned at least twice a day. If any food debris is stuck in these braces, it will occupy space and not give the teeth a tight fit.
- Keep them safe: As you have already known how does Invisalign work, you must have also known that it is a step by step procedure. So, when you remove them, always keep then in the cases. Wrapping them in napkin and placing them just anywhere, will lead to losing them. It will need you to rush to the dentist again for asking for the same set or braces or skip the set and move to the next set. Both will disrupt the procedure.
