How To Make Your Invisalign Treatment Quick and Easy

Invisalign® (Clear Braces) in Atlanta & Marietta, GA

Patients of Dr. Leroy Venn enjoy a more comfortable and convenient orthodontic treatment in Cobb County, GA. The Invisalign system of plastic aligners are effective at providing the wearer with a straighter smile while being much less noticeable in the mouth. This treatment offers benefits that traditional braces can’t offer; they are removable by the wearer. This is a critical reason why many Atlanta Smile Studio patients have chosen Invisalign for themselves.

How Do I Maximize My Invisalign Treatment?

Although treatment with Invisalign in Cobb County, GA is one of the most advanced orthodontic treatments available today, patients are reminded that their teeth and the aligners need regular attention during treatment. To get the best results from treatment with Invisalign, Dr. Leroy Venn recommends to his patients:

  • Keep in a safe place: Aligner trays are compact and clear, and some patients find them easy to misplace. Always keep the Invisalign clear aligner trays in a case or safely tucked in a plastic bag within your pocket, purse, or bag. Do not wrap them in a napkin when taking them out to eat. Many patients end up accidentally tossing the napkin out in the trash! If you have pets at home, make sure too that your aligners are always high up and out of reach of probing paws. The plastic material may be appealing to them as a chew toy.
  • Remove to eat and drink: One of the great benefits of Invisalign is that they are removable. Dr. Leroy Venn says to take advantage of this! Always take your Invisalign trays out when you’re eating or drinking. Leaving them in may lead to staining of the trays or other damage, such as distortion of shape due to hot food or drinks. Plus, removing them makes eating much easier.
  • Clean your aligners properly and thoroughly: To keep your Invisalign working well for your smile and for your oral health, be sure that you are always cleaning them correctly and completely. Invisalign trays should be cleaned at least twice a day, preferably after meals. Dr. Leroy Venn recommends his patients use a small toothbrush to softly brush the insides of the aligners with just a tiny drop of toothpaste. Some patients use denture cleaner as a soak for their aligners. (Simply fill a cup with warm water, put the tablet in, and let the aligners soak.) Atlanta Smile Studio says both methods will keep your aligners looking clean, feeling fresh, and working effectively.
  • Wear as directed: The most important aspect of treatment with Invisalign clear aligners is to use the system properly. Always follow the exact instructions from Atlanta Smile Studio. Likely, this means never leaving the aligner trays out of your mouth for extended periods of time and always being aware of updating the set of trays when the 2-3 week time period has elapsed. Patients should remember that the longer the Invisalign clear aligner trays are out of a patient’s mouth, they are not working to correct their orthodontic issue. This will extend the treatment time for the wearer.
