Don’t go to the cheapest provider you can find. Go to the best one. It’s a major investment of your valuable time and money, so do it right or don’t do it at all.
It’s a process; it’s not easy or always comfortable. You need to be prepared to go through it.
You need to wear them at least 22 hours per day.
Don’t snack or limit snacking throughout the day. Each time you eat, you will take your trays out, eat, brush your teeth, and put them back in. So you aren’t going to want to do that 15 times a day. Limit your snacking because of this.
Avoid red wine and other staining foods and drinks unless you brush right afterward.
Flossing is also really important; we recommend flossing 2 or 3 times per day.
Take care of your aligners. Rinse them off well before putting them back on. Use a non-alcoholic mouthwash to clean them.
It’s a commitment; don’t start if you aren’t going to finish.
Wear your retainers after treatment to help your teeth settle into place, or you may lose the gains you made.
Despite the extra trouble, Invisalign can give you a beautiful smile for life! Is it worth it? YES!!!
