\"attractiveWhether you have crooked, crowded, gapped or misaligned teeth<\/a>, Invisalign in Temple provides an excellent way to correct your bite. It allows you to maintain your normal eating habits and to avoid the metal hardware that is customary with traditional braces. Better yet, the treatment can be conducted in a discreet manner. While this form of orthodontic care is gaining more and more popularity, here are 5 key points to keep in mind so you can be as prepared as possible and have a successful outcome!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#1 \u2013 Invisalign Trays Must be Worn Properly<\/h2>\n

Every aspect of your Invisalign plan is custom-designed to meet your smile needs in the most timely and cost-effective manner possible. Therefore, to stay on track with your treatment plan, it\u2019s important to wear your Invisalign aligners at least 22 hours a day. This will help prevent your teeth from regressing and reversing the progress you\u2019ve made.<\/p>\n

#2 \u2013 May Alter Your Speech<\/h2>\n

When your Invisalign aligners are first placed, you\u2019ll likely notice that it impacts your speech. This is nothing to panic about, though, because as your teeth start to adjust and you become more accustomed to wearing the aligners, this minor issue should work itself out, and you\u2019ll be on your way to attaining the smile of your dreams!<\/p>\n

#3 \u2013 Requires More Frequent Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n

In addition to correcting your bite by wearing Invisalign aligners, you\u2019ll also indirectly improve your oral health. That\u2019s because with Invisalign, you\u2019ll need to brush and floss your teeth more often than the recommended frequency of twice daily. Instead, whenever you remove the aligners to eat, you should be cleaning them and your teeth to prevent bacteria growth that could ruin your new smile.<\/p>\n

#4 \u2013 Requires Some Lifestyle Changes<\/h2>\n

While there are several conveniences associated with wearing Invisalign aligners, they may require you to make some changes in what you consume. It\u2019s best to limit your intake of products like coffee, red wine and tea. Otherwise, you could end up with perfectly-aligned but stained teeth.<\/p>\n

#5 \u2013 May Cause Weight Loss<\/h2>\n

When wearing Invisalign aligners, it\u2019s difficult to snack or graze. That\u2019s because it\u2019s necessary to clean the trays and your teeth with every removal and replacement. You also have to remain cognizant of the fact that your aligners have to be worn the majority of the day. Therefore, it\u2019s not uncommon for patients to see a decrease in their weight during the adjustment phase.<\/p>\n

If you have other questions about the Invisalign process, then contact your local cosmetic dentist to schedule an initial consultation. By knowing what to expect and preparing appropriately, the smile of your dreams is just around the corner!<\/p>\n
