Why Should You Get Invisalign?
In case you want to get Invisalign, it is recommended to do a general research about it and what to expect after the procedure. If you want to get the results you want, you should remember:
To put on the aligner trays each day for at least 20 hours
To brush twice or floss as you wish but around the teeth and not around the brackets
Clean the aligner trays everyday using lukewarm water or using their cleaning kit
The trays should be changed after two weeks
Keep up your appointment with your dentist after every 6 weeks
This will be needed only during the short period of the treatment where teeth straightening is required for achieving a brighter smile with a healthier mouth. After getting Invisalign, you may get a lisp in the first few days since you will have to get used to having something new in your mouth. You will also feel sore for some days after the installation of the aligner tray.
However, many people choose Invisalign over braces for many reasons. In case you want to get Invisalign over braces, invisalign:
Is able to straighten the teeth without anybody even knowing that you are undergoing a treatment
You can eat anything you like except gum; as long as you remove the trays first
You can smile without worrying that there may be food particles stuck in the brackets
You can play any sport you like without worrying that the wire brackets may injure you
Since Invisalign may not work in all cases, you should contact your dentist to obtain a professional opinion if that is the right choice for you.
Most people are not sure of what to choose when it comes to Invisalign and braces for straightening their teeth. Both have been designed to straighten out teeth and to improve oral health and smile. Braces have been in use longer than Invisalign that has been in use since 2000. Braces use metal brackets that are glued together and they are tied together with wires and tiny rubber bands. Now some braces are made in enamel color so that they can be discrete or they can be in any color to use them as a fashion statement. Invisalign is made to be invisible and they are made using comfortable, smooth and clear plastic.
