While the clear aligners are best known for their discreet appearance, many patients aren\u2019t aware of the ins and outs of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more you know, the better prepared you will be. With this in mind, keep reading to learn some key points about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradweissdds.com\/invisalign-clear-aligners.html\">Invisalign in Skokie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attachments Will Prove Helpful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To help teeth move effectively, you\u2019ll receive some enamel-colored ridges that click into your aligners. The attachments make it look like you have clear braces. The number needed for each person varies. Don\u2019t fret, they are discreet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Whitening Treatments Can Wait<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t begin a teeth-whitening treatment while you are using Invisalign, especially if you have attachments. On a positive note, common practices for wearing Invisalign will help keep your teeth away from staining risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There\u2019s No Such Thing as Too Much Cold Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are wearing your Invisalign trays, stick to drinking cold water or clear sparkling water. You\u2019ll avoid staining your trays and buildup of plaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ll Brush Your Teeth Often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be trying to brush after eating anything, so keep a toothbrush handy throughout the day. Carrying floss with you also is even better. The extra effort will result in healthy teeth and your aligners staying clear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ll Need to Wear Your Aligners 22 Hours Daily for Best Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your aligners should be in nearly all the time unless you are eating, so take an aligner case with you. If three meals per day leave you wanting more, consider introducing a protein shake into each meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kissing Will Take Some Getting Used to<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It may be a learning process if you are feeling affectionate while wearing your aligners. Be patient to figure out what works, or you could take them out if you\u2019ve met your 22-hour minimum of wear for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ll Need to Use Your Real Fingernails Sometimes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your fingernails help you easily remove your aligners. If manicures are high on your priority list, you can purchase a specialty tool like Orthokey for removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expect to Take a Break from Lipstick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lipstick and colored lip gloss can easily stick to aligners and attachments. Clear lip balm and gloss are still okay. Just be sure to clean them regularly to remove any waxy residue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Refinement Aligners Will Wrap Up Your Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you\u2019ve completed use of your initial aligner set, your dentist will provide refinement aligners to correct any teeth that are slightly off. It\u2019s important to make sure you get the picturesque smile you want, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best things in life are worth the effort, and for a stellar smile, that means wearing Invisalign 22 hours each day during treatment while keeping your teeth and equipment clean. Now that you have some more information, be sure to ask your cosmetic dentist in Skokie any questions you have before getting started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradweissdds.com\/\">Weiss Dental Arts<\/a>, you\u2019re in good hands with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradweissdds.com\/meet-dr-brad-weiss.html\">Dr. Brad Weiss<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradweissdds.com\/meet-dr-ali-fulreader.html\">Dr. Ali Fulreader<\/a>.
