\"personInvisalign in Midlothian is one of the most advanced orthodontic treatments available to patients. It\u2019s no wonder why you\u2019ve been hearing so much about it. If you\u2019ve been suffering from a crooked or misaligned smile for ages, and don\u2019t want to deal with the wires and brackets, Invisalign utilizes a discreet oral appliance to nudge your teeth into their ideal positions. This way, you won\u2019t have to choose between your professional image and an improved grin. Before you dedicate yourself to your treatment, be sure to read on for 4 truths about Invisalign treatment<\/a> you should know first.<\/p>\n

Get Ready to Constantly Wear Your Aligners<\/h2>\n

Even though your aligners are removable, it doesn\u2019t mean that you should constantly be taking them out of your mouth. Like all orthodontic treatments, you have to\u00a0wear them in order to actually get the results you want to see. It\u2019s vital to keep your trays in for at least 22 hours a day. That means you\u2019ll need to eat your meals and snacks quickly. The good news is that they\u2019re not as uncomfortable as having metal in your mouth, but you will have to fight the urge to always remove them.<\/p>\n

Your Mouth Is Going to Need an Adjustment Period<\/h2>\n

Like any oral appliance, when you put something new into your mouth, it\u2019s going to have to adjust. At first, it may feel uncomfortable or sore, but eventually this goes away. In fact, most patients only report feeling any kind of soreness for the first couple of days after they switch over to a new series in their treatment. You may also notice that you have a lisp when you first start your treatment. Don\u2019t worry, it\u2019ll go away within a few days, once your tongue gets used to pronouncing certain words and sounds while your trays are in your mouth.<\/p>\n

Treatment is Virtually Painless<\/h2>\n

One of the top benefits of Invisalign treatment is that the trays are made from a smooth, FDA-approved plastic that fits snugly over your teeth. With traditional metal braces, the wires and brackets can cause cuts in your mouth, and you may have to frequently apply orthodontic wax. Your Invisalign trays won\u2019t injure your oral tissues. Plus, instead of having to deal with discomfort as you would after getting braces tightened, you will just switch to the next series of trays in your treatment.<\/p>\n

Cleaning Your Mouth and Aligners is Vital<\/h2>\n

With traditional braces, it can be difficult to keep up with your oral health because you have to maneuver around the wires and brackets. Instead, Invisalign aligners are removable, which means all you have to do is take them out to brush and floss. However, it\u2019s important to carry a travel toothbrush on you so you can clean your teeth after each meal you have. Also, you\u2019ll need to sanitize and clean your aligners every day to prevent plaque and bacteria transfer.<\/p>\n

When you visit your dentist in Midlothian for your consultation, be sure to ask any\u00a0questions you may have. There\u2019s a reason that patients and professionals both recommend Invisalign treatment, and it\u2019s because it offers countless benefits and doesn\u2019t heavily impact your day-to-day life like traditional metal braces would.<\/p>\n
