Since then, it has become a household name, helping more than 8 million patients in the process. However, despite its popularity, there are a few important things you should know before getting Invisalign. Keep reading to learn what they are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. You\u2019ll Need to Wear Your Trays for 22 Hours a Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the many benefits of Invisalign is that the clear aligners are entirely removable. However, that doesn\u2019t mean you can take them out as you please. In fact, you\u2019ll be expected to wear them for 22 hours a day to stay on track with your treatment plan. So, you\u2019ll really only be popping them out to eat and complete your oral hygiene routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. How to Speed Up the Adjustment Period<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although each Invisalign tray is custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly, it will take some time to get used to your aligners. As a result, you\u2019ll likely experience some soreness and a slight lisp. The good news is that you can minimize any discomfort by starting your new trays right before bed, drinking cold water, and taking over-the-counter pain medication. As for your speech, try reading aloud and practicing the more difficult words repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. You\u2019ll Need to Clean Your Teeth More Often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before Invisalign, you may have gotten away with only brushing twice a day. However, to keep your trays clear and your teeth free of food particles and debris, you\u2019ll be expected to brush your teeth after each meal. If you\u2019re away from home, like at the office, packing an oral hygiene to-go kit with a travel-sized toothbrush and toothpaste will do the trick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. Kiss Coffee &amp; Other Dark-Colored Beverages Goodbye<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you love sipping on iced coffee throughout your morning? Do you find yourself reaching for a bubbly soda during the afternoon? Since you can only drink water with your trays in, you\u2019ll be expected to have dark-colored beverages during mealtimes. The good news is that replacing these treats with water will not only keep your trays stain-free, but you\u2019ll also stay hydrated and prevent dental discoloration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign can discreetly address everything from crowded to spaced-out teeth in an average of just 12 months. So, if you are unhappy with the position of your teeth, ask your dentist if this teeth-straightening treatment is right for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.daradds.com\/\">Advanced Dentistry of Alhambra<\/a>, our goal is to help patients of all ages achieve the healthy, happy, beautiful smiles they deserve.
