With a little bit of commitment and proper care, you can have the most beautiful smile in the room. Invisalign has evolved to be the most popular orthodontic treatment, as it offers a discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth. If you want to straighten your teeth, but don’t want people to see those braces, this is a good option. With invisalign treatment Dubai, you can enjoy a less invasive and more aesthetically pleasing smile when compared to traditional braces, but you have to give a little bit of care and attention to achieve the desired results.
In this blog, we will examine some simple maintenance tips that you can follow in the course of a successful invisalign treatment Dubai.
What you need to do after invisalign treatment Dubai
- Wear the aligners as directed
Your orthodontist might tell you that you have to wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day. Follow this diligently, and remove them while eating, drinking (except water), and while brushing and flossing. It is important to wear braces consistently because only through the regular pressure on your teeth will you be able to facilitate their movement into the desired position. Carry your aligners case with you if you have your emails outside your home or office. This would help with problems like misplacing or forgetting your aligners. You might feel a bit uncomfortable at first, but be persistent, because removing them for extended periods will only delay the treatment.
- Aligner hygiene
Don’t ever underrate the hygiene of your aligners. Just because you brush and floss regularly, doesn’t mean that you don’t need to clean the aligners as well. Bacteria and plaque can build up on the aligners just like with teeth and eventually potential oral health issues and discoloration. So rinse the aligners everyday with lukewarm water to get rid of any saliva or food particles. Using a soft-bristled toothbrush and an Invisalign cleaning solution to remove debris and bacteria is also perfect. Toothpaste is not good as it could cause scratches.
- Brush and floss after every meal
It might seem a bit impractical to brush and floss after every meal, but the advantage of doing that would be removing the food and plaque trapped between your teeth and the aligners. Leaving the food particles as they are for longer periods would lead to bad breath, cavities and gum diseases. If not after every meal, then at least twice a day, even when you are traveling. Spending a few extra moments to do this would definitely be beneficial in the long run.
- Follow the aligner changing schedule
Your orthodontist would give you advice on the frequency at which you should change the aligners. Following this schedule is important for maintaining progress, so you should not only follow the schedule, but keep a calendar as well so you don’t miss it.
