No one enjoys walking around with crooked teeth, especially if you\u2019re an adult. As a professional, it\u2019s important to maintain a clean and mature look, but how can you do that if your teeth aren\u2019t straight? If you\u2019ve chosen Invisalign in Westfield, NJ<\/a>, to improve your smile, you might be trying to adjust to these new foreign objects in your mouth. To help keep you on the path to a successful treatment, here are 6 tips to wearing your Invisalign braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Wear Them All the Time\u2026Literally, 24\/7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While this one might seem obvious, it\u2019s imperative that you\nwear your aligners all the time if you want a successful treatment. The only time\nyou should be taking out your trays is to eat and\/or drink or when cleaning\nthem. With traditional braces, you cannot remove them, but with Invisalign in\nWestfield, you will be tempted to remove them. You must stay committed to the\ntreatment process if you want straighter teeth in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carry a Protective Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you do remove your aligners, be sure to carry a\nprotective case with you. This will not only protect them from anything that\nmight be floating around in the air, but it will ensure they stay intact should\nyou accidentally drop them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch Out for Stains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Want to keep your aligners clear so no one will notice?\nAvoid stain-causing foods and drinks. While you shouldn\u2019t wear them while\neating or drinking, the things you consume may cause your teeth to become\nstained. When reinserting your aligners, the color can transfer to your trays,\ncausing them to lose that clear, shiny texture and make them more noticeable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Serious About Practicing Good Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just because we tell you to wear your Invisalign braces 24\/7\ndoesn\u2019t mean you can avoid good oral hygiene habits. You\u2019ll need to continue\nbrushing your teeth twice a day for two full minutes. In addition, you must\nfloss at least once a day and rinse with an antiseptic mouthwash. This will\nprevent bacteria and food particles from sticking to your teeth and gums and\npotentially transferring to your aligners when you reinsert them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean Your Trays Thoroughly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you\u2019re brushing and flossing each morning and night,\nmake sure to spend some time cleaning your trays. The bacteria and dried saliva\nthat gathers in them throughout the day and overnight needs to be removed to\nkeep them clean. You can use the Invisalign Cleaning Crystals if you choose, or\nyou can use a toothbrush, clear soap, and lukewarm water to clean them. Just\nmake sure to never use hot water on your trays, as it is can warp the plastic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep Your Previous Set of Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If this sounds silly, you might be surprised just how\nimportant it is to keep your previous set of aligners. Say you\u2019re on vacation\nand you accidentally break your trays. Having a previous set will keep your\nteeth from shifting too much and prevent less of a delay in your treatment.\nShould this happen, it\u2019s important to call your dentist in Westfield as soon as\npossible so he can direct you on what to do and begin the process of ordering\nyou another set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use these tips, you\u2019ll be well on your way to a\nstraighter smile in no time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
