Dental services and products have undergone refinements over the last few decades; courtesy to the use of dedicated technology that has made the vital difference. The seekers/patients have also found satisfaction through the improved products that promise better experiences and results in less of time. Among many popular dental products that are recommended by the dentists are also the braces and Invisalign. Steel braces have been there for a long time and are meant to correct the bad alignment of the teeth due to one or the other reason.
Badly aligned teeth can distort the smile and affect the overall personality of the individual who shies of smiling most of the time. Invisalign is the new age concept that involves the use of clear, transparent plastic cover that works slowly to correct the teeth alignment. Expert orthodontist in Pune at Oswal Dental Clinic offers these five tips for those who seek an effective Invisalign experience. Look out for these for best results.
1. Try not to miss the time to wear Invisalign per day!
Invisalign works steadily and the results may appear slow; which however is justified depending on the condition of misalignment of the teeth that are being attempted. The dentist therefore generally recommends a definite timeline and schedule to the seeker and asks him to wear the Invisalign for at least 20 – 22 hours per day. Missing this wearing time per day means that results may not develop as sought! Hence, for the best results, it is essential that the product is worn without break.
2. Brush your teeth after you eat anything
While it is recommended that you do not eat or drink anything while your aligner still in the mouth, it is also necessary to brush each time you eat something. This is good because the food traces and particles get removed; because if you put on your Invisalign again without proper cleaning of teeth, the chances of bad smell increases. According to leading orthodontist specializing in Invisalign and root canal treatment in Pune, this happens because the bacteria grow fast in the inter teeth spaces and the plastic aligner does not allows the effective flushing of them through saliva.
3. Gentle exercising is good!
Invisalign is made in a customized manner after taking the precise dimensions of the patient’s mouth. Different aligners are produced depending on the results that are to be achieved at various stages of the treatment (that can be of 6 to 14 months duration). However, mild exercise like with some dentist recommended plastic chewies is considered good as this helps to enhance the results.
4. Do not wear your Invisalign during physical workouts
It is not advisable to wear Invisalign during physical workouts like in the gym. This is to avoid the contradictory forces on the plastic Invisalign that may lose its original shape and thus results may not develop.
5. Soak your aligners when not in use!
Keep your Invisalign soaked up when not in use. This allows maintaining the freshness and hygiene of them; or else these could get stained and even develop bad odor.
With these tips, anyone can get a smoother Invisalign experience and reap the best results in less of time, opines the noted orthodontist in Pune.
