You\u2019re well on your way to having a healthy, beautiful smile that you can be proud of. As you know, Invisalign offers multiple advantages over braces, including the fact that you can remove your trays before meals and your daily hygiene routine. That makes it <em>so <\/em>much easier to keep your teeth and gums clean \u2013 and you don\u2019t have to give up nearly as many foods as you would in braces. But, having said that, there are still some dos\u2019 and don\u2019ts of being in Invisalign treatment that you should know to get the most out of your treatment. Learn more below!\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2>The \u201cDo\u201d List<\/h2>\r\nHere are some easy things to do during treatment to keep your trays in great shape and make sure you get the results you\u2019re after:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Care for your aligner trays<\/strong> \u2013 To keep your trays clean and fresh, brush them with clear liquid soap or soak them in a specially designed solution from your dentist. Also, be sure to store your trays in their protective case during meals. You\u2019d be surprised how many patients have wrapped them in a napkin, only to accidentally throw them away later.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Wear your trays for the recommended 20-22 hours per day<\/strong> \u2013 By complying with this rule, you\u2019ll increase the chances that you\u2019ll finish your treatment in the estimated time. That way you can enjoy your new smile as soon as possible!<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Only drink water while wearing your trays <\/strong>\u2013 Other beverages can stain your trays or cause them to develop an unpleasant odor.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Maintain great hygiene habits <\/strong>\u2013 Take advantage of the ability to remove your trays before brushing and flossing. It makes it so much easier to prevent the cavities and gum problems people who wear braces so often get.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Continue getting checkups <\/strong>\u2013 It\u2019s still important to see a dentist in San Antonio for checkups and cleanings to make sure your teeth and gums stay healthy.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>The \u201cDon\u2019t\u201d List<\/h2>\r\nOne of the best things about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonesandassociatesdds.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a> is that the \u201cDon\u2019t\u201d list is so short!\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Don\u2019t use toothpaste or denture cleaner to clean your trays, as these products can damage them.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Don\u2019t put your trays in too forcefully, which can warp or break them.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>You can eat <em>almost<\/em> everything that you did before treatment, but avoid chewing on ice or eating particularly hard foods like nuts or hard candies. These foods can break off the small temporary attachments (or \u201cbumps\u201d) on your teeth that keep your trays in place.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nInvisalign is an excellent alternative to braces that gives you fantastic results without wearing brackets or wires. With these guidelines, you\u2019ll be sure to have a great experience \u2013 from start to finish!\r\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonesandassociatesdds.com\/meet-dr-jones.html\">Dr. Troy Jones<\/a> has 30 years of experience as a dentist in San Antonio.
