You\u2019re probably ready to enjoy the simplified treatment process these clear trays offer. However, are you prepared to handle the finer details of your houseguest\u2019s stay? Invisalign might be convenient, but they\u2019ll still need proper care to work as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t feel too bad if you haven\u2019t thought it through. These tips will help you get ready for the big event, and your dentist is always happy to support you, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reinforce Oral Hygiene Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign trays require frequent and thorough cleaning to stay crystal clear. And that extends to your teeth as well! Debris caught on or between your pearly whites can stick to your aligners when you put them on. Rather than try to create new oral hygiene habits, potentially forgetting a session or two, get accustomed to the Invisalign routine before you take them in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare Your Aligner Care Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t be able to maintain an Invisalign-appropriate hygiene routine if you don\u2019t have the right supplies! Make sure your home is well-stocked with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>An extra aligner case (just in case)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travel containers for your toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Invisalign cleaning crystals, if you prefer quicker cleaning times<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dentist-approved removal tool to help you take off your aligners<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Over-the-counter pain relievers for improved comfort<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist might know of other helpful Invisalign accessories. Give them a call before you run to the store, so you won\u2019t have to make multiple trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Budget Your Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Orthodontics straighten teeth by applying pressure. Teeth are pretty resilient, though, so that pressure has to be near-constant. Otherwise, your pearly whites could slip right back out of alignment, prolonging your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to wear your trays for as long as your dentist instructs! It\u2019s also why it might be a good idea to do some math. If your dentist recommends wearing Invisalign for 22 hours at a time, for example, you\u2019ll need to strategically choose when and for how long you remove them for cleaning and eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask A Bunch of Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the best way to ensure you\u2019re prepared for your Invisalign is to ask your dentist as many questions as you can think of. Having a good understanding of what the process involves, how Invisalign works, and what is generally recommended will definitely help you welcome them properly! Keep track of your questions by creating a list and pay close attention to your dentist. Their professional advice will set you up for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drs. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreveryoungdentistry.com\/dr-michael-young.html\">Michael Young<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreveryoungdentistry.com\/dr-joseph-samona.html\">Joseph Samona<\/a> would be happy to welcome you to Forever Young Dentistry of Sterling Heights!
