If you\u2019re struggling to figure out the best way to incorporate them into your daily routine, let us answer some common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecarolinadental.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign\u00ae FAQs in Mt. Pleasant<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Invisalign\u00ae?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking for an orthodontic treatment that doesn\u2019t require wearing metal brackets and wires for more than a year, Invisalign\u00ae Clear Braces are a great alternative. Using clear, plastic aligner trays, they gently shift your teeth into the proper place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can I Eat and Drink with Invisalign\u00ae?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the great aspects of Invisalign\u00ae is that you can eat and drink whatever you want. The aligners are designed to be removable, making it easy to take them out anytime you\u2019re hungry or parched. When out to eat, simply remove your trays and place them in their designated case to protect them from damage. Make sure to rinse your mouth with water if you are unable to brush your teeth after eating and drinking. Also, make sure to rinse your aligners before reinsertion, to remove any bacteria or dried saliva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, water is the only thing you can consume while wearing your aligners, but remember to never drink hot water while wearing Invisalign\u00ae. The temperature can warp the plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Often Will I Need to See the Dentist?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another benefit to Invisalign\u00ae is that you will not need to see the dentist as often as you would with traditional braces. Wires require frequent adjustments to forcibly move the teeth into their desired position; however, with Invisalign\u00ae, you will already have your designated sets at home. After two weeks of wear, swap out your trays for the next set in the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll be expected to see your dentist every 6 weeks to make sure your teeth are moving in the right direction, but the appointments are quick, so you can be back to your normal schedule in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Continue to Brush and Floss Like Normal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely! You will need to maintain good oral habits, so in order to do that, just remove your aligners and brush, floss, and rinse as normal. To clean your trays, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove any bacteria or saliva, and rinse. It is also helpful to soak your aligners in a denture cleaner or special Invisalign\u00ae cleaning crystals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the answers provided make you feel more at ease about Invisalign\u00ae, talk to your dentist about when you can get started. Before you know it, you\u2019ll have a new smile for everyone to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br>Dr. Virginia Gregory, DMD, graduated from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill with a bachelor\u2019s degree in dental hygiene before earning her Doctor of Dental Medicine from the Medical University of South Carolina.
