That\u2019s because without the constant\ntension they provide, any progress made can easily be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2 \u2013 Can I eat while wearing my aligners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the reasons that Invisalign aligners are only\nrequired to be worn 22 hours a day is that you\u2019ll need to remove them before\nyou eat or drink any type of beverage other than water. Therefore, you can\nprevent the aligners from breaking or becoming warped. An added perk is that you\u2019ll\nbe able to eat all the foods you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3 \u2013 How can I clean my teeth with Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For patients fitted with traditional braces, there are some\nstrict guidelines that have to be followed when performing dental hygiene.\nDifferent from the normal protocol for cleaning teeth, they require some\ncareful steps that will prevent a bracket or wire from breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the case with Invisalign. Just as the aligners\nneed to be removed to eat, they also must be taken out before you perform\ndental hygiene. Thus, you can brush and floss as you usually would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4 \u2013 How should I clean my aligners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A big part of having a successful treatment process is to\nkeep your teeth healthy. Thus, along with practicing excellent dental hygiene,\nit\u2019s equally important to clean your aligners properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some simple steps to keep in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rinse the aligners under cool water whenever you\nremove them.<\/li><li>Soak the aligners using specially-designed cleaning\ncrystals or denture cleaner.<\/li><li>Brush and floss your teeth.<\/li><li>Before reinserting the aligners, carefully brush\nand rinse them.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5 \u2013 How do I know Invisalign is right for me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the Invisalign process is highly customized, the\nonly way to determine whether you\u2019re a good candidate for the procedure is to visit\nyour dentist for an initial smile assessment. At that time, he or she will let\nyou know whether you\u2019re eligible and all the other pertinent details you need before\nmoving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get more answers to your Invisalign questions and to have\na plan of action developed to upgrade your smile, contact your local dentist\ntoday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For nearly two decades, Dr. Eric Buck has been providing effective and compassionate dental care.
