Maintaining Invisalign and Invisalign Home Care

Invisalign is an amazing evolution of what people old enough to remember would call traditional braces. Intended initially to push teeth into their proper position, braces were the bane of teenagers, especially during their years of being sensitive about their appearance. However, even adults had to have braces as well. Painful and awkward, braces for years were a necessary “evil” for better-looking teeth. Fortunately, someone invented something better: Invisalign.

Invisalign Benefits

Invisalign has several benefits right off the bat. First, it’s not permanently bonded to the teeth like braces are. Instead, the appliance can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing your teeth. Second, while Invisalign can create pressure, a patient becomes accustomed to it very quickly, and it’s still far better in feeling and avoiding lip cuts that otherwise happen with traditional braces. Additionally, Invisalign works exceptionally well, faster than conventional braces too. That means:

• Less time spent dealing with treatment in general,
• A quicker arrival of a new smile, and
• A better look for one’s teeth.

Invisalign Home Care

Invisalign home care is also straightforward to practice; keeping one’s invisible teeth aligners clean daily is needed. The care is so simple; it just takes one short session to understand the steps, how to clean the aligners, how to avoid damaging the aligners and then stick to a regular plan. This avoids bacteria buildup and accidental damage. Home care is successfully achieved if a patient can remember to wash their aligner trays after removal, floss, and brush before using the aligner. It’s really that simple.
