If you wish to straighten teeth and prevent dental infections, you must wear the aligners as the dentist directs. The aligners must remain on your teeth for 22 hours daily for optimal results.
2. Cleaning your aligners is also a requirement to ensure they do not discolor or accumulate dental plaque on them to become harmful to your mouth.
3. When wearing Invisalign aligners, you must avoid all foods with braces over your teeth. In addition, you must also avoid sticky and hard foods like ice, popcorn, caramel, or chewing gum to prevent damaging your aligners.
4. Brushing and flossing teeth as directed by the Invisalign dentist helps maintain good oral hygiene and prevents periodontal disease and tooth decay.
5. Regular visits to the Invisalign provider are essential to assess your progress and collect fresh batches of aligners as required.
6. Invisalign treatment continues even after straightening your teeth with the aligners. The Invisalign provider suggests wearing retainers over your teeth indefinitely to prevent your teeth from reverting to their original positions.
