• ALWAYS remember to brush your teeth after every meal and floss at least once a day.
• Make sure to use toothpaste that contains fluoride, and ask our team or your family dentist if you need a fluoride rinse. This will help prevent cavities!
• If you take out your retainer to eat, make sure you brush your teeth, floss, and remember to keep the retainer safe in its container so it does not get lost or broken.
• Keep your retainer clean, too, by brushing it gently with a toothbrush and toothpaste. You may also soak it in retainer cleaner tablets as instructed by our office. Do not put your retainer in boiling water or in the dishwasher.
• During your treatment, try to avoid foods with a lot of sugar (which increases the amount of bacteria that grows in your mouth, and can cause more plaque and potential cavities).
• Avoid sticky and chewy foods (caramel, chewing gum, gummy bears), hard foods (hard candy, nuts, ice cubes), or any foods that could possibly get stuck in your braces (corn on the cob, soft bagels, ribs, taffy, etc.).
• Be sure to schedule your routine checkups with your family dentist. It is recommended that you continue to visit the dentist regularly throughout your treatment.

Invisalign aligners are clear; no one may even notice that you’re wearing them, making Invisalign a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others.

Invisalign aligners are removable.

Unlike braces, you have the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment simply by removing the aligners when you eat. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign does not use metal brackets or wires that could cause irritation to your mouth. In addition, you’ll spend less time in the doctor’s chair, and more time out doing the things you love.

If your lifestyle includes travel or if kids go to summer camp, Invisalign is great to keep your treatment on track.Your Orthodontist can work with your schedule so that you can usually get enough aligners for your trip – not delaying treatment. There are also fewer emergencies or extra visits to worry about while you are away.

With braces, you should brush your teeth at least three times a day to keep your teeth, gums, and mouth healthy and clean. Brushing regularly will help remove any food that may be caught between the braces.

You should also floss daily to get between your braces where your brush isn’t able to reach. We can show you how to brush and floss properly once your braces are placed.

Time for a snack? No problem. Take out your aligners to eat or drink whenever you want (but always be sure to remove your aligners when drinking any sugary or acidic drinks)

Since Invisalign is almost invisible, chances are that no one will even notice anything is different. You can remove your Invisalign aligners, so you can brush and floss regularly and keep your teeth and gums healthy.

There’s no need to change a thing. Continue your day-to-day activities while still straightening your teeth.

Be yourself with Invisalign. Since it’s clear, you don’t have to hide your smile while going through treatment.

With Invisalign, it’s easy to make your smile picture perfect for that special occasion.

Invisalign appointments work with your schedule. Most Invisalign appointments are short and your Orthodontist usually needs to see you every 10-12 weeks.

Yes, Invisalign works. Each new set of aligners progressively moves the teeth in the proper direction prescribed by your Orthodontist and your customized treatment plan. The only difference is, the flexibility of the aligners provide the gentle force to move the teeth, as compared to the wires in traditional braces.
