If you want to learn about some of the less talked about aspects, however, then read on for a few things you should know before getting Invisalign. That way, your transition into life with braces is smooth and seamless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Your Treatment Plan Might Include Attachments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many think that \u201cInvisalign\u201d and \u201cclear aligners\u201d are synonymous. In reality, Invisalign treatments can include other orthodontic accessories, like attachments. These help give your trays something to grip onto, making it easier to address more moderate cases of malocclusion. Don\u2019t worry though \u2013 they won\u2019t draw any unwanted attention to your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. You May Need to Tweak Your Coffee Routine Slightly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love starting your morning with a cup of coffee, you\u2019ll be happy to hear that you don\u2019t have to give up this caffeinated beverage during your teeth-straightening journey with Invisalign. You will, however, need to take your aligners off first. That way, they don\u2019t warp from the hot temperature or stain from the dark color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Any Tightness You Experience Is Temporary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediately following your transition to a new set of aligners, it\u2019s normal to experience some soreness. The good news is that it\u2019s only temporary, and there are several things you can do to help alleviate your discomfort. That includes sticking to soft foods, taking OTC pain medication as directed, and transitioning to your new trays right before bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Wearing Your Aligners for 20+ Hours a Day Is Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to other orthodontic treatment options, Invisalign is considerably more flexible. That said, there are some rules that you need to follow, including wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours a day. If you don\u2019t, then your teeth won\u2019t move in accordance with your treatment plan, increasing your chances of significant delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. The Aligners Can Turn Yellow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you remove your aligners from the packaging, they will be completely clear and see-through. Of course, they will only stay that way if you take good care of them. So, you\u2019ll need to adopt good habits, like rinsing them with clean, cool water each time you remove them and brushing them with a soft-bristled toothbrush after each meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Tran is our lead dentist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistryinmillersville.com\/\">Transcendent Smiles<\/a> and, in addition to being highly trained, experienced, and caring, she is a certified Invisalign provider!
