Invisalign in Keller, TX is a highly desired and innovative orthodontic technique and tool that was created to imitate the results achieved with metal braces. The difference is that Invisalign uses clear aligners rather than metals, wires, glue, and brackets; therefore giving a much more desirable appeal aesthetically as well as in regard to comfort.
Invisalign is highly beneficial to those who desire a straight smile but are concerned with the aesthetics of the technique used to straighten their smile. Invisalign has many benefits, that are recognizable as a choice over metal braces, but that doesn’t mean they are for every person. To learn if clear aligners are for you, continue reading and make an appointment with your family dentist in Keller.
#1 Your clear aligners need to be worn pretty much 24/7 (that is, about 22 hours every day)
You do have the option to remove your clear aligners and are of course supposed to whenever you eat or drink anything besides water, however, if you think you will be tempted to take them out for longer periods than that, then Invisalign may not be for you. Not wearing your clear aligners for the recommended time periods will likely lead to you not getting the results you desire. If you do not wear your clear aligners as prescribed, it will only end up costing you more time and money down the line.#2 Ensure you will be able to keep track of your clear aligners

#3 You need to up your oral care
Regular oral care involves brushing your teeth twice a day as well as flossing once a day. This changes when you have Invisalign, as it is best to brush your teeth after every meal. The reason for this is that when you put your aligners back in after a meal, if there is any food leftover or stuck in between your teeth, the aligners will shield your teeth from your saliva. This puts your teeth at higher risk for decay as saliva aids in naturally dissolving or removing some of the left-over food particles.#4 Invisalign isn’t always the best option for children or teenagers

#5 You have to keep your aligners clean
Keeping your clear aligners clean is very important. You need to ensure you soak them in the prescribed solution. You also need to brush them gently with a toothbrush every morning and at night before you go to sleep. It is often recommended to avoid using toothpaste to clean your aligners but rather a prescribed solution or a gentle dishwashing soap.#6 Similar to traditional metal braces, Invisalign will produce slight discomfort from time to time
