Are you ready to choose the clear choice in orthodontics<\/a> for a straight smile? Invisalign is a discreet and effective solution to correct a variety of bite and alignment issues. Although you\u2019re excited to get started on your journey, it\u2019s normal to have several Invisalign questions. Your orthodontist will explain everything, but while you wait, here\u2019s everything you need to know about the road ahead.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

How long will my treatment last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The average treatment takes about 12 months; however, every plan is unique. There are several factors that influence the duration of your treatment, like the complexity of your case. If you need to make major adjustments, you\u2019ll require more aligners; therefore, your plan will be longer than a person who only needs small improvements. You\u2019ll wear each aligner for about a week before moving on to the next. It\u2019s best to change your aligners on time to ensure there aren\u2019t any delays added to your plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long do I need to wear my aligners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your aligners will be removable; however, it\u2019s important to wear them as much as possible. On average, you\u2019ll want to keep them in your mouth for 20 to 22 hours per day. You should only remove them when eating, drinking, or performing your oral hygiene routine. Whenever they aren\u2019t in your mouth, keep them in their storage case, and don\u2019t forget to brush and floss your teeth before wearing them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there any dietary restrictions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike traditional metal braces, you won\u2019t need to worry about any dietary restrictions with Invisalign in Northampton. Since your aligners are removable, you can eat or drink anything you like. It\u2019s important to only have water while wearing them to prevent stains or damage to your aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens if I lose an aligner?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every aligner is crucial to moving your teeth. If you lose an aligner or one breaks, you\u2019ll need to contact your dentist orthodontist right away for a replacement. In some cases, they may recommend wearing one from a previous week until your new aligner arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Invisalign hurt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many patients find Invisalign to be more comfortable than metal braces because there aren\u2019t any brackets or wires irritating the soft tissues in your mouth. It\u2019s normal to have some tenderness when beginning your treatment or when switching to a new aligner, but any discomfort will subside quickly. You can also manage it using an over-the-counter pain reliever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
