If you have a habit of hiding your mouth when smiling because of crooked or gapped teeth, you can invest in your confidence with Invisalign in Northampton. Instead of using brackets and wires to move your teeth, clear aligners<\/a> are worn to gradually reposition them. This provides a nearly invisible solution as well as several other benefits; however, before you\u2019re ready to commit to it, there are 10 things you need to know.
<\/p>\n

1. You must wear the aligners correctly.<\/h2>\n

The clear aligners are removable, which means you can take them out whenever you want. This is great for eating and brushing your teeth, but you must wear them for at least 22 hours per day. If you aren\u2019t committed to wearing them as you should, it will slow your treatment\u2019s progression.<\/p>\n

2. It will affect your speech.<\/h2>\n

Although no one will be able to see the clear aligners, they may hear them because they might change your speech temporarily. You may develop a lisp while you adjust to wearing them. Rest assured, any changes will subside within a few days after you get used to wearing your aligners.<\/p>\n

3. Not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign.<\/h2>\n

Invisalign is effective for correcting several orthodontic issues, but it\u2019s not the right treatment for everyone. If you have complex problems, you may need traditional metal braces.<\/p>\n

4. Oral hygiene is important.<\/h2>\n

Since the aligners are removable, it\u2019s easy to maintain your oral hygiene because there aren\u2019t any brackets or wires to brush and floss around. While using Invisalign, it\u2019s best to brush your teeth after you\u2019ve had anything other than water. As a result, you may need to carry a toothbrush and toothpaste with you while on the go.<\/p>\n

5. The aligners can stain.<\/h2>\n

Your aligners can lose their translucent appearance if you eat or drink anything except water while wearing them. You must take your aligners out when eating ot drinking anything. It’s best to brush your teeth well before placing them back into your mouth.<\/p>\n

6. You may skip midday snacks.<\/h2>\n

Since you need to brush your teeth after eating, you may find yourself skipping snacks. This can actually be a blessing in disguise to help resist your afternoon cravings.<\/p>\n

7. Don\u2019t worry about discomfort.<\/h2>\n

The aligners are custom-fit and smooth, so there\u2019s no irritation to the inside of your lips or cheeks. You won\u2019t need to worry about brackets or wires causing any pain.<\/p>\n

8. Don\u2019t clean your aligners with toothpaste.<\/h2>\n

Many toothpastes are abrasive, which can cause small scratches on the aligners. This can make them lose their translucent appearance. Instead, it\u2019s better to use a clear antibacterial soap and a soft-bristled toothbrush.<\/p>\n

9. You can finish your treatment in less time than metal braces.<\/h2>\n

The average time to complete Invisalign is 12 months, but the duration of your treatment depends on several factors, like the complexity of your case. Your dentist will explain how long you can expect the process to take.<\/p>\n

10. Invisalign is an investment.<\/h2>\n

Aligning your teeth provides more than just aesthetic benefits. It also improves your oral health because it makes your teeth easier to clean. This reduces your risk of tooth decay and gum disease to lower your overall dental expenses.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ready for a discreet and convenient solution to get the straight smile you\u2019ve always wanted, it\u2019s time to see if Invisalign is right for you. In as little as 1 year, it can completely transform your teeth and your self-esteem.<\/p>\n
