You\u2019ve heard about the wonderous Invisalign<\/a> method, and how the clear aligners can magically straighten your teeth without you having to wear metal braces. If you\u2019re like most people, you still have a host of questions that you need answered before moving forward. A local dentist has just what you\u2019re looking for. Continue reading for 10 things you need to know about Invisalign in Dublin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1 \u2013 Will the Process be Painful?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Invisalign process isn\u2019t painful. However, there will be some slight discomfort at first, as the clear aligners place pressure on the teeth to encourage them to move. It usually takes around a week or two for the sensitivity to subside. From that point on, you won\u2019t have to worry about being in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 \u2013 How Long Do I Have to Wear the Aligners Each Day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A big part of seeing the desired results with Invisalign is adhering to the guidelines of wearing them for at least 22 hours throughout the day. Of course, you\u2019ll remove them to eat and drink beverages (other than water) and to clean your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 \u2013 How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, the Invisalign treatment process can be completed in as little as 12 months. Ultimately, the treatment time is determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the condition of the teeth at the start of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 \u2013 What Can I Use to Remove My Invisalign Aligners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To ensure the best results, Invisalign aligners fit snugly against the teeth. This can make it harder to remove them. A crotchet tool can do wonders. By carefully inserting it just beneath the aligners, you can safely remove them without enduring any gum damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 \u2013 Will Invisalign Affect the Way I Speak?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you first insert your Invisalign aligners, you can expect some changes in how you sound when talking. As time goes by and your teeth begin to move, you\u2019ll easily be able to adjust and get back to speaking normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6 \u2013 How Noticeable is Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign is known for its low-profile and clear design. While people may notice that your teeth look shiny, you won\u2019t have to worry about displaying a bulky smile that draws unwanted attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7 \u2013 How Do I Clean Invisalign Aligners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your Invisalign aligners should be cleaned every time you remove them. You can purchase a special solution called Retainer Brite that is designed to safely and effectively remove debris and bacteria. You\u2019ll start by gently cleaning the aligners with a soft toothbrush and then soaking them in the solution. Afterwards, rinse the aligners thoroughly and reinsert them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#8 \u2013 Can You Drink Coffee and Tea While Wearing Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You certainly can drink coffee and tea while wearing Invisalign, but it could lead to some unwanted stains and discoloration. To be on the safe side, it\u2019s better to only consume clear fluids while wearing your aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9 \u2013 What Happens if You Don\u2019t Wear Invisalign Correctly?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Failing to wear your aligners as directed could derail your previous progress. Before the treatment process gets underway, your dentist will map out the complete treatment timeline, based on the aligners being worn at least 22 hours a day. If this is deviated from, you can expect a longer and possibly more costly treatment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#10 \u2013 Why are the Aligners Feeling Loose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Typically, after you\u2019ve been wearing a new set of aligners for around a week and your teeth have shifted, you\u2019ll notice a looser feel. This is generally nothing to be alarmed about, as it\u2019s a sign that you\u2019re making progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surely, you have other questions about the Invisalign process. They can all be answered when you visit a local dentist for a consultation. Then, you can get on the road to a straighter and more attractive set of teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
